How was it possible to equip a 150 rear tire??? Did they change the swingarm???

[tneper]

Q: about those 150 rear tires, are they on a stock rim or a 4.5 inch aftermarket rim?

[TheAcceleration]

Wow, great race! I think something you could improve on is where you enter some turns though. That what was slowing you down the most in the first three minutes, but great race over all :)

[SqueekyD]

I had fun just watching that video. Awesome racing, especially the finish. Maybe I need to sit out a Trackday and put the coin towards a weekend with RaceBikeRentals.

damn wish i take turns like that on my ninja!

Maximum speed for me was ~105mph at 12000rpm. I weigh 165lbs and is 5'6, 0-60 in 5.2s warmed up.

I don't understand where the specs are coming from, where it takes 8.6s 0-60 and max is 94mph... thats crap and im running stock.

9:51 Fight or compliance? hahahaha

Hey do u guys use the same handlebars as standard?

i'm just wondering cuz i think standard is a little high.. racing handlebars are usually a little more down..and i feel more confortable riding it like that... cuz as i can see, the standard fairings don't allow us to set the handlebars a little under the standard position...

also, what kind of exhausts are u guys using?

how many HP can you reach with everything set up? do u guys use power commanders? thanks

[Sunnysnaffi]

maximum speed is near about 180+ km/h

[ncolovic]

What is the maximum speed of this ninja???

[oninoken]

It should be noted that they're running race rear sets. They move the footpeg, generally speaking, up an inch and back 2 inches, giving more ground clearance. They've also got better suspension meaning they're not sagging as much in the corners.

i read about this in sport rider magazine... awesome idea to start this race.

[ENRIQUEGOITIA]

nice ride

[panzermatt]

that looks like so much fun! i used to race a kr1s and that was fun but those bikes on that track= fun!

[ninja6kid]

thats actually what the feelers are there for, to give you a warning that your pushing your lean limit.

[Oteimoto]

Fantastic vid, brought back great memories of racing there in Dec 2006. Mega track, super fast...awesome!

[MonoRacer]

what are the mods on these ninja's?

[NinjRider]

what are the types of tire ? 130/70/17 Brigestone ...BT ?

[motion999]

Bridgestone BT016 110 front, 150 rear

[666inquisition666]

Do you have to modify the basculant for the rear tyre (150)?

[HeyLookItsFranco]

@motion999 did the larger rear tire affect how quickly you got the bike over?

[NitroRoo]

What an awesome video! First 250 race vid I've seen, good job! Hope to take my 01 to the track someday!

[CL0WNS3R]

Did the guy on the right flip off the person on the left...at the very end of the video?

[motion999]

def not... it was fist pump

[CL0WNS3R]

oh just wondering..lol

[despachojurasico]

Emocionante carrera. Agiles esas 250 y esos pilotos. Porque no hay una mujer en moto gp? Sería interesante.

[itr835]

This was a very exciting race to watch!

Melissa sure dukes it out out there with the boys! It was good to see Josh running around on an R1 out there as well.

[motion999]

I was skeptical she could pick up the pace so fast... dayum! She did awesome.
