In ride gear, I'm about 205 pounds and found a 250 Ninja fine for my daily commute. Bought it new in 2007. With the wife on board, our combined weight over 350 pounds, a brief stint on I-65 had me going with the traffic at 95 MPH! For normal commuting, I averaged 62 mpg. My back tire was completely worn out at 6000 miles. I did no wheel spinning (I'm 52 now) and precious little hard cornering.
At 2 years old, with just over 14,000 miles, I took a "flying lesson." There are no seatbelts on a motorcycle. Failing to remember all those safety tips they teach in riding school and practicing them at all times has consequences far more severe than your car.
A lot of fun to ride, but below 40 degrees, I couldn't put on enough clothes to ride comfortably. Hated riding in the rain.
