Nice bike!
Glad you like it!
One of the reasons I don't like motorcycles that much, is because all of them are performance tuned in a lousy way!
They have 5 or 6 gears, and still rev too high on the highway.

I hear the Ninja 300 has better gearing than the 250, but still revs high.

I personally like riding manual, only when the bike/car has the right gears.
Chevrolet did well in their gears with the Spark, Sonic, and the Cruze.
Honda did terrible with their VT750 bikes!
In fact, on my Honda I needed to shift so many times, ending up in 35MPH as cruising speed (5th gear)! Ridiculous!
They don't have an overdrive, and I hate riding in the city and having to shift a hundred times between lights.

But I'm willing to try out motoguzzi and Royal Emfield; see how they fare.
But whenever I feel that the gears are too short, more for racing than for riding, I prefer to ride a CVT.
Otherwise manual gearing all the way!

Thanks for the warm welcome!

prodigit... I hear you buddy. The little 250 Ninja was a shifting PIA! Just to cruise down the road to the gas station I had to hit 5th. I'm definitely not going to miss that at all. I may not be seen as riding something as "cool" (not that 250's are seen as cool) but I'll be smiling as I'm kicking my feet up on the floorboard! Haha
