The sticker price is like ~$6400

I've sat on a lot of bikes, and honestly, am really more concerned about comfort and not so concerned about performance, any 600cc+ bike will last me a while. The Ninja was good bcs stock it isn't "race oriented" and felt super comfortable for me, but down the road you can do a LOT to them to become even beastier than they are

And Rooz, +1 for buying it one year old or something like that. Def be careful with that 650. Slow control with that beast will be most of your trouble.
Oh, and my vote is for the red. Pure sex. |
The 2006 actually have a really cool looking color combo of light silver and burgundy. Here is a quick picture

The main problem now that you've taken the course is not so much your own driving, but that of those around you. At least when you stop paying attention in a car you have a crunch zone.
With that in mind go kick some ass. You can outrun most cars in any bike. I'll have to find it but there is a video somewhere of a guy pulling a wheelie at 200mph going past a speed trap. The guy was going so fast the cop couldn't catch him. Also look up chris pfeiffer on youtube. That guy is crazy.
EDIT: not that you want to do that or anything  |
So, the hunt for a 2006 Ninja 650R begins
