Yes, I'm still riding. I commute to work pretty much every day that I can on my little Ninja 250. It gets almost as good gas mileage as the Suzuki GS250 but it's a lot faster and quicker handling in traffic. And yes, I'm still saving up my pennies nickles and dimes for a big boy bike, though the ninja is as good of a commuter as I could want it's not so great for long trips.
