My name is Merlin and I am the proud owner of 2004 Ninja 250r.(only 5000 miles on it, and in perfect shape) I'm a beginner and I must say that this bike is everything I could want. Any and all tips/tricks for new riders are 100% welcome. I can't wait to get good enough to ride my new bike to school. 70 MPG is a blessing for a college student
