Yep, both of you get into an MSF course as soon as possible. They fill up fast.
Edit: Ghoastgirl I was talking to one of my sales guys the other day so I asked him what you should expect as differences between the Blast and the Ninja 250 as highway speeds (as I've never taken one out). Basically, he confirmed my suspicion, you won't have more power with the Ninja at high speeds but you also won't get the vibration that the Blast's engine puts out. Personally, I like vibration...but maybe that's just me.
