Everybody knows the smaller, lesser performance bikes are "chick's bikes." Of course, that's a load of crap...If the owner of the bike is a female, then it's a chick bike. Period.
I've had a bunch of the hot bikes (954RR, GSXR1000, Tuono, 'Busa, ZX14, etc.), but the smaller ones are still a hoot. Enjoy 'em for what they have to offer. If you're riding on two wheels (Or one...), you're doing good!
My wife's Ninja 650 is one of the best value and balanced bikes out, and it's a blast to ride! Great bike. If I had it to do over again, I'd get another one of those, instead of my '07 FZ1. Personal choice, but you get the point. Heck, I have an '06 Ninja 250 that's fun to rat around on.
