[2fiddy.com] - Kawasaki Ninja 250R T-T-T-TURBO

[Ninjette Newsbot]

So one nice thing about having the fuel injected version of a Ninja 250R is how much easier it is to add (and tune) a turbo to our lil 250cc thumpers. Now, many people would wonder why you would even bother going through all of this trouble when you can get a 600/900/Eleventy Billion cc bike for a few bucks more… And some of the reasons are simple, For Instance:

1. Because you can.
2. Because Turbos are freaking awesome.
3. There is no replacement for displacement… Except PSI…

But, in addition to the above mentioned there is one other reason that I was un aware of,* as user ‘PoopALarge‘ points out in a comment on the video:

“Here in Indonesia we mod our 250’s because there’s a tax on bikes with a larger than 250cc capacity, big bikes cost, on average, 2.5-3 times more than they would abroad. They’re not even on regular sale here, you’d have to order one through grey import or through the Harley Davidson dealer, which is the only big bike sold regularly here (of which the cheap ones cost you $60.000.- In short, if we can tune our 250’s, we do it”

Huh! Well, That makes tons of sense… Good job guys! Keep up the good work!
