I've put more than 400 miles on the Suzuki as of today. I think it is just right for me. This last tank was 144.6 miles on 2.344 gallons at $3.129 a gallon, cheapest Wal-Mart regular gas I can find. 61.6 MPG, I think that is right, last tank was 62.48. I'll take that over 68.5 with $2500 in my pocket versus the 2013 Ninja. The idfference in taxes and insurance is probably more than the difference in fuel cost.
Down to two bikes versus 6 when I bought the Ninja so that is a significant savings as well.
I think my auto-truck-bike inventory will be stable for a while. I rode the Suzuki 65 miles today, been raining here so much I had not had the chance to ride in a few days, but it's looking nice for the near future.
