Used to own a 04, personally I love it as a learn bike and a commuter not to mention for the price I got. Insurance is cheap and I often clock around 240 miles on a tank of fuel. I liked it so much I actually would like to get another one (may be much cheaper) as a pure commuter for the summer. Take it to the track and you will have a lot of fun on that bike, just remove the center stand and the kick stand if you can when you take it to the track… > [@TO: Fat guy with green teeth at S&R Cruise Night](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/to-fat-guy-with-green-teeth-at-s-r-cruise-night/30842/25): > > think ill be able to past cars on the road and stuff? Bike should have enough power, unless you are like 300 lbs. The only advice I have for you is the stock tires are bit iffy, and you will be amazed how a set of Pirelli Sport Demon will transform the bike. With a 130 rear vs the 120 stock you will also loose bit of trail for sharper turn in. Enjoy the bike! :clap P.S. Wear gear! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/first-bike-ninja-250r/251397)._
