yes, i agree. these were available when I was worshiping the ninja nameplate. I was so shallow back then not considering one of these. but then again, all my friends had ZX's. I sometimes see these on ebay. I like how they didn't make you have that awful rack to mount the turn signals to on the street legal one. The front end does look like it sticks out pretty far though. The seat/tank junction is a bit 80's -ish. But overall, I think I'd take one if they were still available today. They kind of have a certain amount of folklore like the CR500 and KX500. We didn't really know what we had until they were gone.
