I'm guessing this was posted twice since I posted in the other thread about my 08 250 Ninja experiences.

And EJ is right, saying a 250 is weak is pretty stupid. Just in the Sept. issue of RoadRacingWorld they have an article about a new Ninja 250 race series and how the guy who started it used to run a 1000 I think. Go to a race and watch the 250's or even 125's run, I saw KIDS on 125's in the RedBull series at the past Superbike Showdown passing 600's coming out of five on Thursdays practice.

Do some research
