Ninja Wins Shootout

Hmmm, this magazine says the 4 year old ninjette beats the new Honda. You'd think Honda would have had an advantage over an older bike.

"There’s no question the Honda runs better off the bottom, especially when cold,” says Waheed, “but once you get the Kawasaki going and under power it quickly pulls ahead. There’s no question it’s quicker everywhere throughout the rev range with the exception of the first eighth turn of throttle. Besides that there’s no doubt the Kawasaki has the Honda’s number when it comes to the engine department."
Hey, here's an idea. How about I go over to your CBR forum and start posting quotes like this? Though in fairness, I wouldn't, because an honest appraisal says that the bikes are really closely matched. And to go over to someone else's forum and imply that one bike is seriously better because of one article, or a single racer, would be kind of a douche thing to do.
