alright everyone, I've rallied up some specifications on the 250 and 500 Ninjas. Now before I get started I know theres going to be some stipulation in these #'s. They arent bang on, for obvious reasons, lets just take them for face value.

Yah like I was saying, these are stock #'s. There is so much you could do to improve these #'s dramatically, just by having a different exhaust alone. Coming off of the assembly line, thats what they are. Imagine a cabon Fibre everything..... *drool*

I got the 55-75mpg fig from a random website. All of the other stats on the bike i.e. brakes, engine, weight etc, were correct. I could only think of one way its so high and that is it might have been run on a Dyno. We're talking about a variance of 20mpg, which seems a little high.

You know Im REALLY stuck between getting a 250 or a 500 (I know its off topic) I saw a 250 in MINT condition @ my local bike shop for $1300. But Im 6'1'' and 215lbs so Im afraid it would be a bit wee small for a chap like me. But the price is really nice...... Im all shook up about this.... Freakinout and Triplesecman both suggested the 500, but Im still stuck...
