What was it? 2001 Ninja 500R
How long did you own it? Less than a whole summer I think?
What did you love about it? Not much, but it was my first wheels, bought it for familiarity since PRS gave me one for the road rides.
What did you hate about it? Ugly, slow, crappy suspension, crappy brakes
Why did you sell it? Bought a SV650S, which I ended up hating (got a 600F4i after that, which I loved)
Did you drop/crash it? Nope! Previous owner did something to it, I think there was a hole on the right side fairings.
Any other interesting facts? When I sold it, lots of n00bs came over, but this one short kid was acting super cocky, swings his leg over it in the parkade and I was holding the handlebars, just able to stop him and the bike from falling over into the front of my car and a mega-expensive repair bill for me since he probably would have just taken off.
