So as some of you may know, I was unable to get the CB500F I am so in love with due to not having enough credit history. I've been scrounging around craigslist lately, and a certain white Ninja 300 caught my eye.
However, a lot of my riding will be commuting to and from work (but let's be real, when I'm not commuting, I'll be riding for pleasure on my days off). The problem with that is there is literally no way to avoid the highway where I work, I HAVE to use one of 2 highways either way.
This was the main reason why I wanted the 500.
Is the Ninja 300 too small for the highway? Is it impractical to take it on the highway?
I'm not worried in the least about anyone making fun of my engine size, I know 250s and 300s can be just as fun as the big bikes. This is the only drawback that I see, and let me tell you, I almost had some jackass intentionally run me off the highway in my car last night, so I definitely need enough power to be able to get out of harm's way if need be.
