LOL.... well, perhaps I'm generous ! maybe down hill with the wind at your back eh ?
all I know about the Ninja 250R is that it acts like a 650cc of years gone by
and most... if not all of them struggled to reach 110mph ! so barely reaching 100mph is fine with me HAHAHAHA
I doubt my 1977 Triumph could do much more than 110mph to be quite honest.
I don't use the RPM near enough on the Ninja and that is where the HP is !
but I do know it is one powerful motorcycle despite it's size !
it's a unique machine !
a while back after I first got it I took it on the freeway and opened it up
and I was very surprised at how well it handled that ! I was cruising at 70 to 75mph and it had much more to give..... but that was with the stock gearing
with the stock gearing passing at 75mph shouldn't be a problem at all
but with the gearing I have on it now I don't know.... i don't think it will be a problem because I have so much RPM to spare.... I may have to shift down for acceleration but it will do it ! .....
funny . I just realized I haven't ridden the Ninja this summer ! I've been trying to get the RX4 working properly for my "shortness" !
and I still find it Ironic that the 1977 Triumph I haven't had to touch at all as I can flat foot it with ease.... but anything new and I have to modify it....
And that SUCKS !!!!!
LOL
