It was like an old shoe ,very comfy,relaxing,just a great bike all round.
Mick, I think I'm gonna buy a Ninja 250r next year. Are there many available mods for the ninja? Exhaust...carb...etc.?
I'm sure there are,the exhaust being the major one,it's so bloody quiet. I like a little rasp.
Once you get this little bike in it's hot rev area 5 to 6 thousand RPM, it is a flying machine, and it was the best handling bike I ever rode.
Midnightrider got one just after me he loves it too,and he has made quite a few mods,mostly about comfort, he makes 3 to 4 hundred mile runs weekly ,he just loves to ride.
I'm just a little guy 138 pounds so a 100 Miles an hour came fairly easy
and steady as a rock, I laughed all the way home. Don't get caught.
insurance is very reasonable as long as you don't get caught doing the above. This bike is also used at track races in the 250cc event it's about the only one out there..You will love it.
