So I'm thinking it's time for an upgrade from my ninja finally. After a fun rip with some of the boys, and choosing to hop on with Oreo for the ride (thanks again) I realize my bike couldn't of made passes as effectively w/ what it's got, and I think it's time for something I will be upset with if/when I dump it
My question to you: What should I get?
I am 5'3" and 115lbs. aka, I'm little, I have longer legs, I can flat foot the new 696 monster, and I'd also want to put risers on it for me to sit upright, I kind of have T-rex arms lol. This option seems a little costly to invest in this since I don't ride as much. But... if I had something that could keep up, in my mind I may make an effort to socialize more and rip around more in general.
I love that the ninja is very nimble, I think about turning and it does, it's light too, so if I do drop it (sigh again) I can pick it up on my own ok.
I hate that it's carbureted, so obnoxious, anything less than constant mindfulness of stabil etc will leave me with clogged jets. UGH, and let's be honest, there's not much that's 'sexy' about it either.
I'm also thinking an older monster might make sense, but I hear the maintenance sucks on them.
I'd love to just go 600 or so range, I don't want to/need to have a ridiculous amount of power, just something other than 8 seconds to get to 60mph
Anyone have feedback on what they've ridden and what the pros/cons are to them?
