Welcome fellow so. Cal. Rider!
I have a 15 tooth sprocket up front and I use my pregen 250 on a 45 mile round trip freeway ride once a week at least. Not to mention everywhere else I go (the ninja is my primary vehicle) and I just rode through Santiago canyon on it last Sunday
although my buddy on his r6 could walk away from me like I was parked, bigger bikes can't match the maneuvering of a ninjette
