What do you mean by "flickable?" If you like fast sweepers, "flickable" is not generally a good thing. My Ducati isn't terribly flickable, but it corners like it's on rails and I much prefer that. But it's a touring bike, so that's what it's designed toward.

Have you tried any of the bikes in the "multi" genre, like the Suzuki Vstrom (or, speaking of Ducati, the Multistrada)? That would be more "flickable" than the Ninja and it has a little cowl fairing. If the vibration was low (and that's one thing you can't delete from the littler Ninja) that might suit your needs. Might at least be worth a test ride or two.

That said, the people that have them seem to love them, so there aren't a lot in the used market, particularly near Carson City.
