Started out with a cruise downtown (Indianapolis) where my wife was participating in a Zumba class outdoors. I went down and met up with her and there happened to be 4-5 other bikes there. We got to talking, and that asked if I wanted to go for an evening/night ride. I was hesitant as I said, I dont know that this 250 can keep up...but they assured me all would be fine. They were in awe of how the lil ninja was realtively close to their bikes as far as dimensions and etc...especially when I mentioned gas mileage.
The bikes were: 250R (me) R6, R1, GSXR 750, and Buell Firebolt.
We started out just cruising around the city, as being a friday night there were people everywhere, after that we headed south on some back roads, and this was where it got fun...We all were having a good time, and I love how the ninja handles in the curves and etc. I never lost sight of them even when they would hammer the throttle, and I hit 90MPH a few times on some straights.
We stopped and ate at this mexican place, and a couple of the guys went for a ride on the ninja, one of the guys said "with the weight of the bike, even being a 250, good throttle response, and man thats a fun bike to corner and ride"
After some B/S ing around, we headed back toward the city, it was dark at this point, and we were a little more careful...yet still having a great time. I reset the trip at the start of the ride, and at night end I had 88.4 miles traveled.
This was my first real ride on the bike, and I had a blast...this ninjette does everything I need it to, and still with great gas mileage. When I go to move up, I'll be giving this to my wife and buying a buell firebolt.
Great time, and ride...I only snapped 2 pics before we headed out with my droid. Sorry for the quality.
