We've got a local here in Tulsa who does long distance on his Ninja 250. He does 3-4 iron butts every year and he just finished up a 1,500 mile/24 hour ride last week.

0-60 in ~5.5sec, 1/4mi in ~14.5 @ 88mph is pretty slow for a bike, and they have nothing under 10-grand or so - but I think you're exaggerating just a wee bit, no?

If you really can't hit 50 in a couple of blocks, you need to learn to rev & shift it, Nancy.

(Granted, riding 'normally' around town in the (lack of) midrange & having to rev the snot out of it to get any motivation at all would get kinda old. )

Especially after having GSXR power!!! IA.m curious how they did a 0-100 test considering the bike won't do 100 mph...at least not with my fat ass on it!
