I used to have a ninja back in the early 90's a 600. I would like to get a 750 and was wondering if anyone has riden one and what they thought of it and what year and reliability as compared with other bikes of that caliber? thanks

the 750 ninja is waaaaayyyy outdated and heavy compared to the suzuki in that cc category. but todays 600's will spank the 750's of the 90's vintage your bike was from. who wants a cookie cutter, dime a dozen ricerocket anyhow. this is where the fun is at! twisty mountain roads will never be the same, you will SMOKE any bike when the road gets tight and twisty on one of these!

I had a 92 ZX-6, did about every aftermarket mod you could to it..fun bike.

I do agree with boogerballs though any modern 600 would spank a 750 of the 90s area...anyway, my new bike of choice is a Suzuki TL1000 (or TL1000R if you're looking post 1995), hard to beat for a liter class bike and the v twin is way torquey.

Hey Ass,
Is that your bike? I bid on an 85 900 cc Ninja and hopefully I'll get that. I'd like to get an rc 51 or a 989 ducati like my neighbor has but it is too much money for a cheap poor college student. So Paul when can I come ride your bike? And when in the hell are you coming down here to run Johnson Valley with us?

I agree, that bike sounds amazing (TL1000R)


But the above KTM is quite fun. It is certainly a playbike. I think total it weighs just over 300 pounds.
