And Stig, for my purpose, i agree. I may ride it until the all new re-designed 2016 Honda cbr500r comes out. Its to be revealed tomorrow!!! But the cbr500r, imo, is perfect! ninja 650, 40-45mpg, cbr500r 60-70, both have same tank size. And from what i heard, the cbr500r is alot smoother and has a slightly nicer fit & finish? IDK?
