The dyno chart speaks for itself, that is for sure. Glad that you had a well tuned carb going into the project as well. Knowing that your carbs were in tune before and the fact that you feel and see ~3hp difference says a lot for the pods/jetting/exhaust setup. 3 horses and torque will certainly add a little bit of response to that throttle.
Looking forward to having this exhaust on by end of summer Just got back from a nice sunny day ride myself, I really love these bikes. |

Thank you! We'll schedule it into production later this month after all the tooling & fixtures are completed. All the info should also be up on our website within the next week or so. Should be available in late May.

Here are a few pictures of the exhaust! I shot a closup of the carbon fiber for a bit of detail.
Notice the clean profile of the Ninja 250r with the Area-P exhaust? More pictures and videos to come...

I agree, the shorty carbon looks awesome! I'm still getting a long quiet core one though. I want my bike louder than stock, but still relatively quiet. Definitely carbon though. I'm still hoping to be the 1st flat-cap pregen. Nobody steal that from me please!
Oh, another question really fast: The connection between the exhaust hanger and the exhaust itself is different in your pic from the stock bolt. Is that part included in the setup? Also, is it still possible to have passenger pegs? I don't have mine on either, but I might end up putting them back on. That can still be done right? Thanks!

What is this 'flat-cap' you keep referencing? I'm getting the quiet core carbon myself, not too interested in being loud but I want the improved performance and the deeper tone.

I happened to remove the rear pegs and left-side bracket to remove a bit of weight and clean up the looks. However, the exhaust fully allows you to use your stock rear pegs, if you so choose. There are no clearance or other issues and I actually received the bike back with the rear pegs and removed the myself after the fact. The beauty about this system is that all stock components still work perfectly. But, if you wish, you can remove stock components to save weight or for aesthetics. Let me know if you have any other questions.

The flat cap looks cool, but I like the standard outlet better myself.

Glad you asked, Kkim.
The Area-P exhaust is the part the Kawasaki forgot. Area-P has transformed the bike and made riding much, much more pleasurable. The weight and revs is really what you feel on a daily basis. The bike is so much lighter (on an already light platform) and the revs come so quick that the package as a whole flies like angry hornet. And the sound doesn't pretend about anything. The sound simply reflects the capability of the bike. The sound is serious and incredibly good. Going back to a stock system would mean me selling this bike. The difference is so significant that without the exhaust, I would have a tough time keeping the bike. The weight, performance drop and sound of the stock exhaust is not a part of my reality (thanks Area-P!). Regarding availability, Area-P is standing by for confirmed orders before tooling up for production. Production can be launched fairly quickly, so if you are interested in this exhaust, then contact Area-P and let them know. I usually would not write this, but with this product I am comfortable stating that you will not be dissappointed. In fact, you will extremely impressed by the craftsmanship, design and performance. Pictures don't do this product justice. This exhaust system is beautiful. The price is incredible. Life is good.

We're excited about putting this system into production. As noted, we've simply been awaiting further interest prior to scheduling production to begin.

Same prices as noted on our website www.areapnolimits.com for the '08-09 models (4 different combinations).
We are also considering an intro offer - if you purchase the Dynojet kit at the same time as the system, we will include the set of Air Filter Pods, Crankcase Breather, and Aluminum Battery Box at no charge. We'll have the website page up shortly on the '88 - 07 model particulars. |

Hi Kerry,
How about an initial intro offer for ninjette forum members only? It would highlight the close association we have shared throughout this development stage, plus possibly up membership here. I'm sure that would at first limit the number of production units from your end, but at least you would have confirmed orders if you structured it to make the discount available to a confirmed number of people before you started production, much like group buy. |

Absolutely! Once we get closer to production, we'll make it "officially" a Ninjette deal.

That way, a legitimate list of customers could be presented to Kerry without the usual hassles this type of special deals inevitably incurs to the vendor. Last thing I would want to jeopardize is the loss of support Kerry has graciously lent to ninjette to date. Any volunteers? |

I took off my lower fairings today and spent a fair amount of time staring at the Area-P exhaust. All I can say is wow. The craftsmanship is simply in a class of its own.
What would the world of motorcycles be like if all aftermarket parts were this good?
