It will be significantly slower at higher speed. At high speed you want horsepower and a high revving engine (you can effectively have shorter gearing if you have a higher redline). You people thought the ninja 250R was "buzzy" at highway speed? This will be worst. However, this is just observation talking.. for highway use the Ninja 250R already looks better on paper. Another thing, this will sound like an ATV with an exhaust, alot less sexier than the already not so sexy 250R exhaust tone :/
