I noticed your frustration while editing the Ninja 250 article... why indeed is the overall quality of bike articles on wiki so low? No uniformity, cohesiveness... sigh... AniRaptor2001 19:34, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

:* The four in the pictures. The last two pictures are actually of my bikes, and the first two are only examples of the same model.

If not I'm stuck with just the ], which is great but sometimes I think it's too much. I'm constantly thinking of selling it and getting 2 or 3 smaller, lighter, and perhaps older, bikes; so I can finally try a dual sport or supermoto, among others. But I'll probably keep it at least until the economy rebounds.
