Pre Spyder we had a 2006 Rebel 250 and a 2002 Kawasaki Vulcan 800. We traded both for the Spyder in February 2008 and bought back the Rebel in June 2008 as we saw gas prices skyrocket. I recently (less than two weeks ago) purchased myself a 2009 Candy Plasma Blue Kawasaki Ninja 250R. As I do very much love my Spyder, I also miss riding a two-wheeler (the Rebel is the wrong image for me) and and the advantages that come with a two wheeler.... namely, lane splitting. And the 50MPG+ isn't bad either.
Here she is. I have the CF Two Brothers pipe arriving next week for her along with the mono cowl and a blue Puig windshield.
