ReplyDeletei think ninja is the best on street fighter...hehehehe.....
I bought one in March '08 - $3911 out the door.
ReplyDeleteTop speed is NOT 96 mph - try 110 mph (but it takes a bit!)
Fuel consumption AT WORST: 59mpg
At best: 77mpg
Avg around 64-68 the way I ride.
People WILL think it's a 600 - unless they're knowledgeable enough to glance at the narrow rear tire.
The only thing about it is the 'banana hammock' back fender - which can be dealt with.
Nice, upright riding position with a ever-so-slight forward position but NOWHERE as pronounced as a true crotch rocket.
I've heard Corbin makes a seat for it so that'll probably be my first upgrade since I want to turn this into an interstate commuter (no, big trucks don't 'blow you away')
Don't get a scooter - a guy I met got the RADICAL Sachs MadAss 50cc and was PROUD to get "about 60mpg"!?!
Get a Ninja 250 and you'll get BETTER and have more power when you need it. I promise you won't be disappointed!
the european model has 32.5 hp
