Great video! Love the writing, the editing and the delivery.

The bit about fuel economy made me LOL. My 06 R6 track bike is incredibly thirsty (like, "do I have a leak somewhere?" thirsty). But then, I've got it twisted up to about 12k most of the time....

Like the Ninjette, the R6 gets into a kind of ethereal smoothness when it's revved. The engine is happier. The bike is more alive. The fun is there in abundance.

The difference is that on an R6, when you get up there you're going at very high speeds indeed. On the Ninjette, you're at least within spitting distance of legality.

Which, in a nutshell, is why the Ninjette makes a GREAT street bike.
