Lucky. I think every rider has dropped a bike at some point or another. I had almost the exact same damage you did on the exact same bike, except I also had the fairing punched in slightly around the left turn signal. It can be depressing, but you have to just get up and keep going.

Thats right! Thats what I did... just picked it up and kept going! I love that freaking bike! Damn that sucks about your fairing...

My first day i rode mine i crashed in the grass...yeah grass haha thank god it wasnt on pavement. there were a few scratches but my dad buffed them out. You cant see a single thing. I highly recommend to get your sliders first my ran about $120 black with the blue tip. It looks real good!

[vgrrl78]

You are so lucky that your dad was able to buff out the scratches! I have not been so lucky, but sliders are on the top of my list. What kind did you get? They sound hot! Do you have a picture?

I'm sorry to hear and see this. I just got my 08 Ninja 250. Brand new rider, not afraid to ride, just not looking forward to the drop. I do beleive it does add character.

You live and you learn. You ride to live and learn as you ride.

Thats right, baby! Live and learn and have a great time riding! :D

A naked bike will scratch too, and dent if you're really unlucky.

A fairing is easy to replace. Costly yes, hard no.... Scratched or dented tank is an entirely different ball-game

[cbr900RR1977]

A naked bike will scratch too, and if you're really unlucky dent too. When dropped

[cbr900RR1977]

Worst case... a bit of spray-paint and lots of elbow-grease will fix it.

Anyway sorry to hear, and good-luck getting it fixed!

[cbr900RR1977]

I didn't drop mine yet.... (knockonwood and stuff)

I thought I would sooner or later, that's why I didn't buy new.

Not that it isn't scratched. The previous owner dropped it a couple of times by the looks of it. I was thinking of spraying graphics on it or something.

I think the scratches in your bike aren't as bad. Have you tried polishing? I think with the right polishing compound you could get it out. It doesn't look to deep or anything.

I'm so glad I didn't get a faired bike as my first :)

[crazekook1]

this bike still looks super clean... i remember before i had my bike, every time i would even see a bike.. i would want it.. no matter what it looked like. this bike wouldve deffinately been on my top list of wants.. :D pretty fresh bike you got here...

(and i do wish that i had a girl rider around where i live... i think thatd be sick to ride with a girl)
