I now have 1700 miles on my 09 Ninja 650R and it is still an excellent bike. It's all broken in now and runs great. Takes corners quite well although I think grippier tires would be great for obvious reasons. Cranks EVERY time and is so easy and forgiving it should be an instant hit with all beginning riders. Gas mileage is approx 45mpg. The seat is good for 2hrs or so of riding (maybe I'm getting used to it). No complaints overall.
I did a lot or research and settled on an 09 Ninja 650R. I'm a newbie so take the review for what it's worth. I'm 5'10" and 210lbs. Bike is a great size and weight for me. Has more than enough power in low rpms to keep you ahead of traffic. Still breaking the bike in though. The seat is quite comfortable and decent for a 2-3 hour trip. Not as comfortable as a cruiser seat but waaaayyyyyy more comfortable than a out and out race bike. Decent on gas and gets lots of comments and stares. Seating position is more akin to a standard than a sportbike (a big plus). Overall, as a first bike I've owned, it is practically perfect....for now.
As for reliability, if it's like previous generations of Ninja's, should be fine. Too early to tell so I'll give it 5 stars.
