A Mini '08 Kawasaki Ninja 250R - This Little Ninja Went To Maxton

How To Make A Record-Setting '08 Kawasaki Ninja 250RNormally when you think of motorcycle land speed racing you think about turbocharged, nitrous-injected, or big-bore engines. But since that's been done to death, it was decided that a risky new angle was in order: Build an `08 Ninja 250R. The stock mini-Ninja makes a monstrous 25.6 horsepower and pumps out a stump-pulling 13 ft-lbs of torque on the dyno in stock form, and can do about 98 mph flat-out with a tailwind. Getting one into the record books was going to take a lot more power and some changes to the chassis to get it over the 108 mph land speed record that we had as our goal.

Thought this was a good article about a ninjette tuned for speed. I think we've discussed this bike before on the site, but I'm not sure if we linked to this full article. They got it up to a measured 111 mph.
