I like my 2 door 2007 honda civic. 35MPG, nav system, and power everything. My wife now drives my toyota tacoma which averages 14MPG. I miss my Ninja 650 which got ~ 50 mpg but it got wasted at 70 mph, and the wife says no more motorcycle for me.

I had a beautiful, custom Suzuki GSXR-1100 back when I was in the military.....
was in Panama for a short time, came home, and someone had stolen it out of my friends back yard.....I was heartbroken.

My list of bikes that I have had through the years:
Ninja 250 - starter
Ninja 636 - holy shit this thing was fast
Ninja 1000 - and I thought the 636 was fast, thank god for steering dampners
Ninja 650 - little twin that was easy on the insurance and probably the safest bike out of the prev. 3 that I owned and its the one that almost killed me.

As you can see I was fond of the Kawasaki lineup. If I ever get the opportunity to buy another bike, it will be another Ninja 650.

Now you are telling me you are 6' 1" or was you post correct at 6"1?

with me at 6'5" and about 220lbs, I have sat in a Prius and without some sort of modification, I could not drive it... kind of like during our accident in 2004 and we were getting a rental, they said they were out of SUVs that day so they'd get us into a "mid-size" car... turns out to be a Chevy metro or something tiny, they said that is their midsize (hate to see their compact line), he said "oh yeah you will fit".... moved the seat all the way back and couldn't even get my legs or head inside. Tried a 04 Prius which they said is a bit larger.... yeah but not big enough for me to drive without my knees next to the steering wheel... no thanks did that in high school with a Chevy Luv pickup...
So we got a small minivan that I barely fit into (a backup 03 Montana) and they called us next morning with a GMC Envoy which was great...
The only smaller car I know I can fit into is a honda Accord which was an 06.







Thanks HL and Corsair!
