        The Ninja bike is a great choice for riders who want a powerful and stylish motorcycle. It has a comfortable riding position and handles well on the road. The engine is responsive and provides plenty of power for highway cruising or spirited riding. However, the fuel economy could be better, and the price is on the higher side. Overall, the Ninja bike is a great option for riders who are looking for a high-performance motorcycle that can do it all.

        The bike is perfect, but the backseat comfort is disappointing. Nice design. Great engine power. Amazing road presence. Overall experience is good.
