    I guess it also depends on the rider. Just like in the case of the R15. But the N250 has twice the number of horses.

    Nb; I am not convinced that the 2.8L tag is justified, just like I am not convinced by the 14L tag of the SBks!

The next step would be to figure out how to get more low end torque out the thing, it is hard to squeeze out all that power from the 250cc mill at higher gears and low revs in the hills.

      A very special paint scheme on the Ninja coming up in 2 weeks.

      Congrats Sunny for your green kwacker.......
      And eagerly looking forward to what will it turn into(with the new paint job just around the corner ).

          Over some discussions in this forum I've learned that the Ninja is almost at the same price level as it is in the UK market!! So, not sure if it's the pricing in this country or the pricing that has been set for the Ninja Globaly

          But yeah as you put it rightly and so did Sunny, it's more about the rider and depends on the rider!! I've been riding my P200 for 2.5 years now and I still feel that I not even juiced out 50% of her potential when some of my other friends who have rode my P200 a couple of times have said loads and loads about my own bike which were news to me

          I remember in one of the G2G Old Fox said that like in the R15 he also needs to downshift a lot on the Ninja 250R when the Ninja 250R is a different architecture than the R15. So, it again boils down to the fact that how the rider decides to operate the bike.
          Twist your wrist and feel the shift!!

            Congratulations Sunny on your Ninja! I will be hoping to see more trip logs and photos in the tourer section from your side!!

            OT: Why are saying good-bye to R1?? Is this because that you cannot utilize all the 180 horses on Indian roads?

            Bang on! I guessed this one the moment I read your first post in the thread!! So, it was a love-story between you and the Ninja in Hatu at 11150 feet indeed!
            BTW, I was under the impression that you owned a first generation Karizma!

                    So finally you picked that last scale model of P220 , i hope you got some discount on this at least.

                      A racing blue would be even better.

                        I don't know what is the tax structure for 250R, but we all sure do know that of SuperBikes

                            Man, the whole thing looks so inviting (and potentially addictive)! I have never been on the track, and I can only imagine how riding on that surface feels!

                            I want to get my Ninja too August, you said? Count me in!

                                Its like crack mate ! If you hit the track once you aint gonna die without hitting it again and again and again. You will dig yourself out the grave just to be at the track again.

                                I think I will be with yall in August !
