[EQRoycerranMF]

Sweet, nice run

[EQRoycerranMF]

Did u have the bike re jet or re mapped?

[endeavor635650]

@EQRoycerranMF no, still had stock jets

[CWSDevon]

no shame lol

[bringdnoiz]

it didnt show the time becase the clocks dont do minutes haha

[endeavor635650]

@bringdnoiz

yeah yeah, haha

[kens97sto171]

@bringdnoiz Runs it in about 14 sec.

[bringdnoiz]

@bringdnoiz well folks the minutes comments was a joke, if you dont get my midwestern american humor then im sorry. i have an 02 sv650 which ive been able to get down to a 12.55@103mph on my third pass down the strip so id have to say the inja 250 is a good running bike just not what id buy.

[bringdnoiz]

@MAZ1N00 it was a fucking joke douchebag, i believe i clearly stated that besides i aint a bit scared of your fucking r6.

[FinalExtinction]

well done mate, ninja pride!

[istacc]

Then again, wtf do I know?  Never met any of your girls!

[istacc]

endeavor-

No offense meant, seriously. But I really doubt you went a buck 75 on a busa with a passenger. I mean it's hard to find a road where you can safely do much over 100 unless you're in Montana. But if so, congrats. I'm not your grandma. But think about this: at that speed, if you see something you need to avoid, you're going to go 150 feet before you even realize you need to hit the brake or steer. Add on another 1/4 mile to stop. Think about it. Riding like, you'll be a statistic.

[endeavor635650]

Right, well I live in south Ga. There's quite a few long strait roads around here. Check some of my other videos and you'll see how nice our roads are. And besides, it's a Hayabusa. It doesn't take long to get up to speed, even with a passenger. lol And I understand it's risky to go fast. It's not something I do often, but I like the rush every now and then.

[istacc]

Plus, you don't wanna go 95mph with your girl on the back. She won't want to ride anymore and you're automatically a dick. Take it easy and let her enjoy the ride. Then you'll get laid and get to go on more rides with her. It's your job to be a man and make her feel safe. That means ride smooth and don't go too far over the speed limit.

[endeavor635650]

lol not always true. Some ladies crave speed. The one in this video does anyway. She was the one that went 95mph with me on the 250. And I've taken a different girl to 175mph on a Busa and its all she could talk about for months. lol

[istacc]

HiKneeMan-

I'm 6' 145lbs, my girlfriend is 5-7, 145lbs. We've been riding my 2004 Ninja 250 together for a couple years. And this is my 6th motorcycle. I've had a cb900 custom and a 750 Virago that I rode across the country on. Yeah, the 250 is slower, but even with two people, it's faster than an Accord in accelleration. And wil easily go faster than is legal with two people. Don't cave into the peer-pressure conspiracy. Get a 250.

[krybolt]

Dude.. gain some weight! Your girl weighs as much as you!

[Seth6Strummer]

I like your logic man. I still really want one after all the years, and even after all the racing I've done in the past. Its just a good little bike. Hows she do at a sustained 80mph on the highway though? Thats usually my normal speed on my nightly trips to the girlfriends house, was wondering how it would handle it.

[kens97sto171]

@Seth6Strummer

Should be fine.. there are guys that do cross country on these. Only trouble on the highway with a 250 is your gonna have to go down a gear to get any "decent" acceleration. On a bigger cc bike it would have the power in top gear.

[bbfreak101]

Im 6'2" 170. Do you think it would fit me?

[endeavor635650]

It will carry you fine. I know of a few 300 lb. people riding them.

[bbfreak101]

Thanks.

[FishBoneSkeleton]

that chicks pretty hott

[endeavor635650]

so I'm told. haha

[HiKneeMan]

as a first bike, should i just get like a 250r? i weigh 150 and im 5''10 or 5'11. and also can a 250 handle my wieght and a female whos lighter and still get some speed?

[endeavor635650]

It makes a great first bike. Easy to learn on and lots of fun! I weigh 145 and was able to get up to 95mph with a 125 pound female on the back.

[HiKneeMan]

oh wow, thats pretty sweet then. looks like im aiming for a 250 then. thanks for the help

[RuggerPip]

Next time make a video with her on the bike, naked preferably.

[endeavor635650]

Already done. Youtube frowns on that stuff though. lol

[RuggerPip]

Damn, did you really just take what I said, and went with it and laughed? Jesus. I must be lost, I thought this was youtube, usually comments like the one I made would result in a death threat and a gay/fag/retard comment in reply. I am shocked :D.

[endeavor635650]

Ah yes....I know what you mean. There's a lot of haters here on youtube. And I'm not one of them. Plus, I showed her your comment and she thought it was funny cause a video truly has already been made. ;)

[RuggerPip]

:O (Shock face)

[skatergmail]

Most the specs you will find for this bike says this:

1/4 Mile 14.6 sec @ 88 mph

But how much does the rider weigh?because that will make a big difference when your only pushing a 250.

[ruckfules24]

oh nvm...i looked on the second page of comments and found my answer...thanks for answering in advance :D

[ruckfules24]

whats the bike that you where running against?

[t4todd]

Thx for the info man.

[t4todd]

How much did your bike change with the two bros?

[endeavor635650]

It's a noticeable change. It was about a 10% increase in power.

[EarthScapesByJason]

10% right! This bike only has 25HP to begin with. Gaining 2.5HP is alot on this bike!

[maximus10463]

Actually 27HP its a 2008 ;-)

[shinesinpines]

whos the girl?

[endeavor635650]

my girlfriend

[shinesinpines]

i noticed you didn't say ex. cool cool, i'll check back in a few months

[HomemadeChicken]

lol!

[VollgasHero]

haha

[Xramadalasan]

Well done ;)

Still ?

[endeavor635650]

They are supposed to run mid 14's. Speed would probably be around 90mph.

[skyline44512]

at least you didn't bring the front end up on the start. it's hard to find the right position and throttle to get a great launch while keeping the front wheel down. your reaction time and launch were the only reason you ran a 16 you can get her under 15 with a little practice if you want. keep riding!

[endeavor635650]

Thanks! That was my first time ever riding a bike down a dragstrip. I have been practicing my launches and I can do them pretty good now. I just need to work on my reaction time now. After that run I had a better launch but, it still wasn't a good one because there was a lot of wheel spin. Even with the spin the bike ran a little faster time.

[ManOfMeans]

Wow, she's cute

[endeavor635650]

yep. lol

[benplayplay]

lol is too dark i cant even see which one is the ninja250R all i saw was just some headlamps moving

[endeavor635650]

Read the video info....it should help. lol

[guitarsrme13]

what bikes were your friends riding?

[endeavor635650]

Far lane: Honda CBR 1000. Near lane: Yamaha R6. These weren't races, just test and tune runs.

[canguiano77]

Buy a real bike those 250 bikes are just as bad as a vespa, but i must say that girl is a cutie.

[endeavor635650]

I didn't buy it to race it. I was just curious and wanted to see what it would do. It is good enough to pick up girls like her though. lol

[kirbienstien]

should run a 14.6 I hear...

[endeavor635650]

I've heard the same thing. This was my first time ever running on a drag strip, so I know that there's room for improvement.

[SRR229]

do you live near valdosta?

[endeavor635650]

I live in Moultrie. About 45 minutes from Valdosta. But I go to VSU so I'm in Valdosta 5 days a week.

[BluntRider182]

was this at the huntsville speedway??

[endeavor635650]

It was at South Georgia Motorsports Park (SGMP) in Cecil, Ga.

[BluntRider182]

o it looks just like the huntsville speedway in huntsville Alabama
