I've been doing some research on different bikes and have narrowed it down to 2 bikes. I am a small person so my max weight would be a 300cc. I like the look of the df but my mechanic says that parts and finding a place to work on them is not easy. However, the price is right. The ninja has been around forever but to get one at a decent cost it has to be older and anything older than an 09 or so is just ugly. Has anyone noticed that the DF needs more maintenance? I don't want to spend the money on when and then realize I should have just went with the more expensive bike.
