See_Bee_Are,
Welcome aboard.
Yes, your question is appropriate and posted just fine.
My answer would be no, the bike is not a PoS. From what I can tell from putting just 120 miles on ours and reading a lot of threads on this forum, it's a great bike with great features. It has one cylinder, so you have to expect it to be a little buzzy, and the "tool kit" is imaginary (I only wish they'd have included the shock pre-load spanner, but they're inexpensive, so no big deal; most bikes' tool kits suck these days, from what I can tell). Beyond that, fit and finish are amazing, maintenance will be a breeze for the most part, it gets insane fuel mileage, and it has plenty of pep to provide you with plenty of enjoyment. I recommend it highly. Of course, I have zero experience with the Ninja, or maybe I would recommend that, too, but I rather like the fit, finish, reputation, looks, economy, and features of the Honda. If we could, we'd buy a second one.
Spend some time with both bikes, take them for a good test ride, and pick the bike that you like better. I'm sure either will be just fine.
Best of luck with your decision and future riding enjoyment!
