I bought a blue non abs one on 11.4 and after 200 km ride it is a really nice bike. very stable at 100 kph on highway and it rides as good as older 500 cc bikes used to.

Sweet mate. Welcome to the club. Would love to see some pics, and maybe even ride reports. I'm going to suggest a 'ride report subforum' and will get some going from Thailand. Would be great to see other people's rides/trips.

I agree. I've over 8000km on mine and every day I still arrive at work with:

a) a smile.
b) a longing to avoid work and keep on riding.

Great, effortless bike to ride, and that low down torque really makes riding it fun. And yes, in the twisties it really gets you grinning ear to ear.

Would love to see some ride reports from Aussie. I'm based in Thailand and have a few but no ride report subforum here yet.

or jumping across and grabbing the ninja now that they have reduced their prices to compete with the honda.

Interesting.

How much did they have to knock off to match the CBR?

In Thailand the ninja is 147k, and the CBR is usually about 110k.
