Much as I'd love a dragstar 400...

...the ninja 250r is pretty damn nice .

Decisions, decisions.

Being an inexperienced biker i'd assume it'd be best to go for the cruiser, sides, if I bought a ninja i'd run up a hell of a bill in petrol.

I rode Mickie's 125 Dragstar and instantly the first thing I thought of was the Fonz.

Re: Much as I'd love a dragstar 400...

All very valid points. Think i'll take grots advice n try em both out first.

Guess it's down to what I prefer, fun or comfort, speed or style.

Fonz cares not of your mockery.

Come to think of it, has anyone ever seen him sad? I reckon he's secretly manic depressive.

It'd be a hell of a twist.
