You're just cute period. Would you like to fly over here and hang out? Seriously we did just get rid of one so I do know what I'm talking about. Anyway I'm glad for your daughter it's the absolutely perfect bike for a teenage girl or teenage girl- like men...

Ive ridden the older ninja and the new ninja and i still would rather have my Hyosung. I know most people on here may not like the Hyo but the damn bike has a 110mm front tire(mine is a 120mm) and 150mm rear tire. Thats almost as big as 600cc bike tires. The damn thing has a huge footprint for a 250. Here are the specs for the two bikes and by the numbers the Hyo takes the cake. More Horsepower, Larger rear tire, Larger front forks, and Bigger brake rotors. The V-Twin is set at a 75 degree angle to maximize power without having to have 14k+ RPMs(10,500 redline) . Now the Ninja does lead in seat height by 1/2" and it has .25gal larger tank. However the Hyo gets 60-80mpg and the ninja only gets 50-65mpg so the Hyo has a much longer range. Now you look for yourself. Some of the things in the Ninja page need to be converted from metric but ive done some of it for you.

Ninja 250 Hyosung
hp=25 hp=27
TQ=16.7 TQ=16.7
Fuel=4.75gal Fuel=4.5gal

that's how I feel about my DRZ... not gonna set any land speed records... but I grin ear to ear every time I get on it!.

My lil bro had a 02... bastard sold it... I wanted him to sell it to me... but that's prior to the DRZ as I wanted it to commute on (70mpg!)

I would love to have a DRZ. I want to get one and put street tires on it and take that out. Man they look sick.

Advantage of the Ninja is the dealer network. I don't know where to even go look at a hyosung.

And, the fact that it has a proven motor. The motor hasn't changed for YEARS....

Very true there is a much larger dealer network with the Ninja. But its not so much of big deal here for me i have 2 dealers in my area. And Southern Honda here in Chattanooga had them at one point but stopped selling them so if i needed anything done i could bring it there but i still just take it to the Dealer i bought it from. However i usually just go ask them some questions and then maybe buy something and then go fix it myself if i can.
