It would make for a nice nimble commuter in my opinion. I almost caved and let my daughter buy a new Ninja 250 a couple years ago. I eventually talked her out of spending her dough, but I like the idea of a lightweight decent handling bike to start out on or to simply use as a fuel efficient local commuter.

While I enjoy a scary fast crotch rocket as much as the next guy, I also am aware of my tendency to explore the limits which on a modern crotch rocket can mean insane speeds. I do my best to avoid the occasional urge to buy a newer rocket and instead just putter along on my old VF500 when I feel like taking a spin.

Hondas have always been my favorite brand over the years as their quality and fit/finish has typically been a bit better than the other Jap bikes.
