Wow talk about sharing lanes and having a turn signal as an option. This might sound like a stupid question but i noticed that there is nothing pushing down on the throttle unless it's located somewhere's else than the handlebar or does he have cruise?

And what is a throttle lock? This would come in handy as my hands are always falling asleep after only 10 min of riding. I've had carpal tunnel for years now in both hands. I first thought that i was gripping the throttle too tight but i know now that i am not. Maybe if i start wearing my braces again it might help but can't wear them while i'm riding.

Google it, there may be some options for the 250.

Did a quick search on Google and didn't find much on throttle locks for the Ninjette. Went to EBay and everything listed for the Kawasaki was all cruiser bikes. However, it looks like some throttle locks might actually be geared towards handle bar size so you may be able to find one that's compatible.

Wish I could do that, but instead of texting I'd rather sleep on my commute to work.

Locks the throttle in place, wherever you want. It isn't a true cruise control mechanism though, so if you drive in hilly areas its something to consider.

CRAZY video!

Yes that would be an Indian accent. Also Apu's accent. And that of about 1 billion other (real and fictional) people in the world. :)

It also looks like he is letting his bike drift to the left of the road without looking of anything. How are people getting this lucky, if I tried anything like I see on the internet I would be dead with in a few days.:rip:

i think he is probably steering with slight body movement. i swear i can turn the ninja using my butt, though it probably translates down the leg to weigthing the peg. guy is an idiot though.

should be able to find universal throttle locks.

This video gave me and my fiancee a good laugh, because it seems that at least 5x a day we run into someone not paying attention to the road due to the fact they are texting/talking on the phone. Its quite amusing that of all people, a motorcycle rider is caught doing the same thing! hehehe. As dangerous and careless as it is, it is still amusing and thankfully he hasn't (or we hope not) caused injury to anybody by doing this.

Yeah, that is a video from India. But there are more than 1B real people itself.

Sharing lanes like that and talking on phone while riding is common, but texting!!
This is a very cool video. I don't know if you guys have seen it. Not related to ninjette... Watch out for the guy crossing the street at 0:38 :)
