Like the gpz500 ninja or an earlier one? Found the GPZ500 mini ninja felt like a small bike, but twitchy, good for about 125mph though, fast for a small twin. My NTV felt much better than my cb, handling was great with monocoque chassis and V twin mounted in a way it improved frame stiffness. CB is fun, power band is great, NTV was a smooth operator though.

Yeah - that's the one. I didn't like them much - thought the CB500 was much better handling and peppy. In fairness, the only ones I rode were high mileage, courier hacks. I liked the old GPZ500s too, though you had shitty tyre choice with the front 16" rim.
