As long as you keep a reasonable exhaust on it you could actually wind one out around town without going to jail. My first streetbike was a '98 Ninja 250r, I wouldn't mind having one of the newer versions for a cheap commuter. My current trip to work is only 2 miles though, so putting on all the gear for such a short trip led me to a sports car.

Truer words were never spoken. I do miss my CB-1.

I had 2 CB-1's. I miss them both.

Half of it is along a busy highway. I can reroute and ride a bicycle on safer roads and it's still only 2.something I hate the wear and tear on my body with running. I should ride my bicycle to work more often during nice weather though.
