LOL people who don't know what I ride shouldn't make fools of themselves with assumptions. I own a 750 gixxer, so can I assume you only own a 600cc and then pretend because of that my argument is more valid? Now that we've establised that I own a ss can you logically refute what I said?lol
people who have never been on a 600 or 1000 have no idea how fast these bikes really are. you don't even try and leave everything behind.
Lol I think some of you are missing a very key aspect to spirited riding or riding in general. So we've covered high speeds...no problem, 250's will do 140kph plus so check mark there. Okay a capable rider can put them around a corner just as fast as an SS...so another check there. Braking not an issue.
So what happened to acceleration? Ahh right....that's what we forgot. Best way I can explain how a 250 falls behind is take and SS or quick bike and accelerate. I'm not taking WOT or high speeds, no that'll result in wheelies or a huge ticket. Just moderate to brisk acceleration.
Count the number of times you twist the throttle and that's the number of times 250's fall behind, now translate that to riding with a 250 and you should get my point...if that fails...I don't know what to say.
LOL(I'm noticing a trend with people who start a response like this) I've been on a few spirited rides with people on this forum and 250s have no issue accelerating in the corners and keeping up. Sure on straights they may lag a little behind, but skilled riders could care less about blasting it in the straights. I would suggest some people here read the sticky about pushing it on the street and why it's unnecessary to have to go hot into corners.
