POWER:WEIGHT !!!
Not bad for a NINJA...either one of them. Not to cause any ruffled feathers now, but get rid of the Heavy exhaust and centerstand on the NINJA 250R...usually a lighter rider...just KIDDING. I think that your numbers point out that for something half the size only in engine shows that Perhaps the Little NINJA is a fighting little machine WORTHY of being a NINJA. Personally, I would change the gearing on the NINJA 250R so that it would get to MAX 14,000RPM a little sooner and decrease the numbers for 1/4 mile and get a better top end. Now take it to the extremes and put a 1200 against the 250 in a extremely tight and twisty, no straights just curves...I'd say that the 1200 would stand an even chance IF you could keep it only on the rear tire alone...NOT!!! Most of us know that IF you don't use the top end you can get more usage of power by changing the gears. Do th changing of gears and lose all the nonessentials (steel exhaust and centerstand to start with) then you gain a slight advantage on the rest of the crowd. even if they are all NINJA 250R's stock you have the advantage... Thanks for running the numbers though. seems the Mighty NINJA by comparison may be 500R but given the motor is twice the size...hmmm.
