Well thank goodness I seen other old people here.. Hope that does not ruin the bikes image... 
I guess I can add myself to the 50years plus group.. since I been riding off and on since 10-12 years old, on mini bikes to light cruisers.. last was restoring(word used for buying used) 1988 Honda Shadow 1100.. I got bored , complicit on cruisers.. was fun playing with it, but gave it to my son and took a leave from bikes for a bit.. in a blink of the eyes 10 years has passed.. Retired Now, this darn little Green machine was being advertised everyplace. WSSP 300 just added it in to take over the ktm 390.. umm.. anyways.. it looks so good.. whats not to like? I enjoyed Kawasaki from 100 dirt bike to 175 dual bike.. I really enjoyed the first kz650, kz1000's many years ago, I never thought of a Ninja anything..never.. back when the plastic 600's that every maker had coming out and was all the rage many years ago, I was restoring a CB750 and would grin and leave them at most lights..so there was no point to get into those things.. Speed was not my point in getting this 400, but it might be an added bonus.. at 5' 7"(174cm?) and old.. ease of use, ease of weight and those looks lead the way for me.. so.. one more time.. I convinced myself I needed a light bike for commuting to the grocery store (I totally and purposely ignored the fact there was no way of carrying stuff on it).. I ordered a tail bag, to hide my inner purpose.. I promised I wouldn't give any one a ride and will stay within the speed limit.. see, even old people lie a little bit.. and here I am.. reading what the people in the "know" are doing and grinning from ear to ear... As the young man at the Kawasaki dealership said with that wide grin "Mid-Life Crisis?"... possibly.. lol :surprise::angel::surprise:
