      Upswept exhaust makes all the difference.

      Edit : The wave created was 2.5ft high and not the water level. How I know that it was 2.5 ft high? My backside aka posterior was drenched by the wave

      Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

        I have a small doubt,you mentioned that you stopped revving once you remembered that you have an upswept exhaust, does that mean that revving in that water level with an upswept exhaust is bad.... or is it just unnecessary?

              Tis not the you can ride all way 88 kms long in that 4 litres man. You must top up as soon as the light lits up to be on safer side. The 4 litres must be only used in emergency cases. If you keep on riding nearing the last 2 litres of fuel left in the tank, you'll prone to fuel pump heating issue & may burn a big hole in your pocket!

              Glad that you had done it safer dude. Even though if you are sure about the absence on potholes on that road, tis wise to take the safer & clear route as there may be chances of recently created potholes due to the strong flood flowing water. We can't predict & take chances as the potholes may also be created within a hour or two.

                  true. but it's quite possible that the bike is from a country that has restrictive licenses.

                  in places like Oz etc. "newbie" riders are stuck with leaner bikes for 3 years or so.

                  so the owner may well have thot to himself...
                  hey... if i'm stuck with it for 3 years.. might as well make it my own.

                  if you think the red ninja is tricked out... have a look at this.


                  this is by far the most tricked out N250R i've seen.

                  that rear tyre looks like a 180 easy... might even be a 200.

                            whew.... so ninja for boating, touring,racing true all rounder. more than the exhaust angle, it is the height of your air filter. (about 1 and a half feet ) water should not reach there, else ninja stops.

                            current issue of bike mag had a ninja Vs cbr compare. and cbr beats ninja hands down... you know in what .... the price. rest of the article some fancy writing in favour of cbr, all the test results are for the ninja. now will have to wait for the yamaha 250 to try and dent the ninja Armour.

                              • With the supposedly 4.5l ex.sw price of ninja 650r as reported by zig wheels, will there be any price reduction on the 250r anytime soon.
