I did my first SS1000 on my Ninja 250. It's really a good LD bike, very comfortable. I do have only a 29" inseam, so I had that going for me.+1Dude on the Ninjette gets mad props from me. I mean - look at him. He ain't no 5 foot 2. No tank bag. No aux fuel tank. No majical top box that opens up into a 3 bedroom 1500 square foot house. **** - the windscreen looks stock to me. You know that bike has been running at 10,000 rpm for 5,000 miles now. Friggin incredible.
That dude's got gumption. Ride on, brother!
I had a Ninja 2-fitty for a while. It's revving around 7 grand at 65mph with stock gearing. Those bikes amazingly smooth at hwy speeds., very little vibration, (at least mine was after I got it dialed in the carbs synced). The seat though... 20 minutes and I'd be riding directly to the hospital to get the bike removed from my ***.
I did wear out the cam chain tensioner during that run, that's a kind of weak link in that otherwise excellent motor.
