I originally went with “get bigger bike” idea. Wanted more power for my 320-lb new-gen track bike. However, doubling power with EX500 gets me 118-lb weight penalty! EX500 is monstrously heavy with poor frame/suspension combo. I should’ve looked at track lap-records first to see that 250 is actually faster than 500.

Even my CBR600RR with 4x power isn’t as much fun as ninjette at track even though it only weighs in at 380-lbs (less than EX500 or even Ninja 300). Extra weigh really hurts braking and cornering.
