good laugh i got out of this thread.

"i shift at 6k rpm like i'm supposed to, have poor throttle and clutch control, and can't pass people on the highway when we're both doing 100mph... i need a 600"

i've been riding the 250 as hard as i can just about every day for about 2 years and i am still nowhere close to being a better rider than it is capable of providing for. i have the predecessor to an FZ6R (fzr600) and yes, if you want to do 150 down the highway, the ninja isn't the bike for you. but the ninja has absolutely no issue passing cars on the highway at upwards of 90-100mph... just ask honey badger.

if you need a 600 because the ninja is "too slow" you're either:
a) doing it wrong
b) doing it way to fast (150 on the street is going to kill you eventually)
c) doing it wrong by trying to race 600s in a straight line.

if you feel your manhood has been hurt by option c, then take them to your local corners and show them what riding a bike actually requires: skill.
