        As for 'thinking' - stop and plunge in! Have had mine for 11 months and 12200kms and loved every minute on it!




        As an owner of one of the few blackies, I can tell you that you will NOT get any eyeballs with a blackie. It's not that the blackie doesn't look good - I still think that the black has a menace and sense of intrigue that the greenie will never achieve - but the greenie is just out and out eye-catching! Even superbikes have to compete for attention when the greenie is around!!

        Oh! .....and the Blackie is one cast iron bi#ch to keep clean and shiny!!

        Thanks Sir ,
        Lets hope your info bout the green is accurate ! And i suffer the same with my R15 which's black ! I saw a green ninja parked on the road last week and it just looked wow ! So i still dunno ! will be a last minute decision i guess
        Stock is boring , power is everything .

          A high side is something that occurs when you are trying to overtake another speeding rider on a turn and you see an open space and you lunge on the throttle. What happens next is your rear looses traction and it starts to wobble. You then try to correct it, but only try. Before you know anything the bike throws you off and you land on your head.

          Where can this occur?

          On a Race track.

          What saves your A$$?

          A nice set of leathers, gloves, boots and of course your helmet.

          To whom this has occurred recently?

          Me

          The good part is that I am fine and I was riding a R15 at the Yamaha Riding Clinic and not the Ninja, otherwise I would've had a big hole in my pocket.

          Same thing at the same place happended to me. Maybe something to do with the quality/grip of tyres.

          I too damaged my helmet (Arai ) beyond repair.

          I broke my collarbone too.

          edit: For some reason I feel that this would never have happened on my Ninja

            Any one? Need to be quick as it might get sold.

                Going by the previous posts, if you had your DL they would have charged you more.

                Whoa. Helmet can be replaced so no bother. Bummer about your collar bone though. Get well soon.

                Anything between 2L and 2.3L depending on the condition of the bike. Ask him to take it for a spin though.

                  Too Bad.

                  Can't blame the tyres, I use Pirellis, the fact is the Rider is generally to blame in such cases.

                  The difference is I was at a race track and fully geared. Any bike with decent power will do this if you suddenly open the throttle while leaning into a turn.

                  Aditya has summed it up nicely here

                  As for the helmet.. Arai/Shoei's provide the best protection for the price. And they are supposed to break completely to absorb all the energy.. Better the helmet than your head.

                  I was using an indian helmet and its full of scratches but didn't implode.. however in an accident you cannot quantify the force that your head may be subjected to... So be happy that your head is fine.. sorry about your collarbone though.

                    As mentioned, I was at the same event (Yamaha Riding Clinic) at Chennai.
                    However, I am still not sure the tyres they gave on the r15's were track worthy. Even the instructors from Japan told me that it was not top quality rubber and that had it been better quality, i could have avoided the initial slide (the one that typically leads to the highside.)

                    On the other hand, might be my fault completely.

                    In any case thanks for the concern guys.

                      good to see that u are fine.
                      I think the same type of crash happened on green day. U got r15 or it is provided by YAMAHA.



                      I think Stig is gonna be first rider from xbhp who have Ninja and going to get CBR250. Red is way better then black. congrats buddy.

                      According to delhi probike new Ninja is coming in June with Digital console.

                            So you mean , were their interceptors or normal police. i take that route when out on a spin at high speed... need to be careful next time.
