Sorry, I spelled tyre wrong. forgiven. I also forgive you in advance for dropping the "u" in colour.
(responded inside your quote)

My thought is:
* the ninja 250R is already biased towards weight on the rear (I think)
* the throttle is far less able to transfer weight the rear
* ...
* uh
* oh yeah
* those two things kinda cancel each other out



OK, I'm wondering now whether the clever folks at Kawasaki created the weight imbalance on purpose.
