Re the get up and go. That's the torque I was referring to. The Ninjette has a high-revving small motor that doesn't make a lot of torque. So drop down a gear or two and GO!!!!

It'll do fine. Wind it up and fly. The bike really does feel different at high rpm.

Since you're near Chris Smith, go introduce yourself. Go to a track day with him, even if all you do is watch. He (and his daughter) are GREAT company and he makes a mean fajita. You'll learn TONS.
