</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">It
looks like a hypersport, but its seating position is as comfortable
as a standard’s. It’s named after a line of superfast bikes, but is
sedate enough for beginners. Its build quality is high, but its price
is about as low as it gets. </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">But
then, does Kawasaki’s Ninja 250R even need an introduction? Since
receiving a stylistic and functional makeover in 2008, which you can
read about here, the Ninja has <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD7">continued</span> its legacy as a top seller for Team Green.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">To
those of us who’ve known this little screamer for a while now, it’s
not a mystery. Perhaps the only mystery in our minds is why the other
Japanese OEMs have been content to let Kawasaki own this segment for
the past couple of decades or more, but we’ll save that for the
sidebar.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">For those of you who need a refresher, here goes:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><b><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">The Numbers</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">Motivated
by a smooth-running DOHC 249cc parallel-Twin pushing a peak of 25.4
hp to the rear wheel, this 374-lb machine offers enough power to stay
ahead of around-town and suburban traffic, and will top out around an
indicated 100 mph or so.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">Its
twin Keihin constant-velocity carburetors aren’t as sophisticated as
the fuel-injection on the Euro version, and the twin carbs are jetted
lean to pass emissions regs. This results in an engine that needs to
be warmed up before it’s able to be ridden away, and low-end throttle
response is a bit soggy. </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">“It’s
definitely on the lean side in the low end and midrange,” says Kerry
Bryant, who has tuned many Ninja 250s as owner of Area P, a
SoCal-based shop that also manufactures exhaust systems.
“Changing/adjusting the jetting can make a dramatic improvement in
throttle response, even with the OEM <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD8">exhaust system</span>.”</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">Once
warmed up after a few minutes, the machine will accelerate from a
standstill with the revs at around 3,000 rpm while slipping the clutch.
Carburetor tuning is not a pre-requisite, but to make it run the way
it could, it is something we would do.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgub3Q0cFGQJAVYC3p9zWR_zc_aJmpDCVMteSaS_W8mWGJzVnisIwznIl9Wez1vH4FvIRqbOGTAywpsqoSDbPTXFUMGVzrZoFPLJA7D6Q0HzOkcsUbVGueLJClgB88EtMN56PcWiBAGzAI/s1600/kawasaki-ninja-250r-hp-torque-dyno-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</a></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">The
Ninja’s lean low-end and midrange jetting results in soft response
below 5000 rpm when its torque production finally gets with the program.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">For
optimum performance, Bryant recommends a Dynojet kit. Short of this,
improvement could be had by simply adjusting the fuel mixture screws
to see how that works first. This tweak can be done by a qualified
technician, or competent do-it-yourselfers and can be discussed with a
dealer’s service department.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">“Adjustments
depend on elevation, temp and humidity (and of course other mods made
to the bike such as aftermarket exhaust, airbox, etc.),” Bryant
elaborates for those wanting to fully tune their Ninjas. “For our
particular location and <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD4">conditions</span>,
adjusting the fuel mixture screws out 2.5 - 3.0 turns (from bottom
out) improves the low-end. Replacing the needles with a different taper
and adjustable clips will improve the mid-range. Main jet size
normally ends up being #98 (Dynojet [brand] jet kit sizes/numbers and
not to be confused with the OEM Keihin sizes/numbers).”</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"> With a jet kit installed, Bryant says, “The primary difference a <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD11">street</span>
rider will notice is throttle response more than anything else. It
will now feel like your right hand actually controls and modulates the
power input like it should be.”</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">In
stock trim, the liquid-cooled mill is reliable and quick. Although
the power delivery is soft off the bottom and requires some clutch
slipping, it responds with enthusiasm once past 8,000 rpm until 11,500
rpm when power begins tapering off before hitting the 13,000-rpm rev
limit. A brisk pace requires gear changes to its six-speed transmission
at short intervals.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">The
powerplant rolls within a steel diamond-style frame, utilizing
Kawasaki’s Uni-Trak rear suspension with five-position preload, in
conjunction with a 37mm telescopic fork canted at a stable yet nimble
26 degrees rake, and 3.2 inches trail.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">Slowing
it all down are brakes that are reliable and drama-free. A single
290mm front rotor clamped by a twin-piston caliper does most of the
work, with the 220mm rear and twin-piston caliper rear there for
backup.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">Its Purpose</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">The
Ninja 250R’s aerodynamic bodywork and styling looks remarkably
similar to the ZX-6R and ZX-10R, and that is purely not coincidental.
There’s no “250” emblem on this big little 250, and that’s no mistake
either.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">But
before we start talking about the Ninja’s sporting capability, let’s
be clear about its mission. It is an entry-level sportbike, to be
sure, but its upright handlebars and low 30.5-inch seat height make it
a user-friendly all-rounder, not unlike Kawasaki’s larger
parallel-Twin Ninjas.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">As
such, this bike is quite suitable for commuting, and we saw upwards
of 50 mpg sipped from its comparatively large 4.8-gallon fuel tank,
even while testing redline on a regular basis.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">Its
fairing and windshield offer suitable protection from wind buffeting,
and if we can be utterly biased for a moment, we think commuters also
looking for a bit of weekend fun might be more satisfied with this
250 over, say, a comparable displacement scooter.</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">An aftermarket <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD12">undertail</span> kit would show off the slimmer design Kawasaki gave it a couple years back.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">A trip to the aftermarket for luggage options would also be advisable to add to this bike’s utility, or just strapping on a <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3">duffel bag</span> to the rear seat could do the trick.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></b></div>
<div align="justify">
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">As a Sportbike</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">The
Ninja 250R is sane fun for the street. We won’t pretend to say it’s as
adrenaline-inducing as a ZX-6R, but it didn't exactly put us to sleep
either.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">Acceleration
is brisk, and gear changes come fast and crisply. If determined, a
rider can twist its tail into the indicated red zone. Whether this is
good policy or needed is another issue. As the dyno chart indicates,
power progressively drops off past 11,000 rpm, so there’s not much point
to flogging it. </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">When
the road gets twisty, cornering is predictable. Its suspension, with
4.7-inches front and 5.1-inches rear travel is reasonably compliant
for riders up to 220 lbs or so. Much heavier riders, or those
intending to trounce down rough roads, may wish for more
adjustability.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />

<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">Riders
accustomed to bikes with four times the power will feel underwhelmed
on sweepers because this bike doesn’t go into warp drive when
requested like a literbike can, but newer riders, or those just not
looking for a ten-tenths experience ought to enjoy the ride. On
tighter roads, the Ninja 250R leaves little to be desired. Assuming
the rider has the skills, its lighter weight, quick and neutral
steering can give larger and faster bikes a run for their money.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">Stock
tires for our California bike were IRC RX-01 front and rear specific,
although Kawasaki may spec equivalent Bridgestones and Dunlops in
other regions. Sized at 110/70-17 front, and 130/70-17 rear, the IRC
rubber is plenty adequate for most uses. Aggressive riders may want to
experiment with premium sport-compound tires when the originals
eventually wear out.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">To
complete its role as an entry-level sportbike, there’s another
benefit potentially available. While wearing race leathers during
parking lot cornering practice, we discovered that compared to some
larger sportbikes, the Ninja’s low saddle and confident handling makes
scuffing knee pucks somewhat easier</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />

<div align="justify">
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">In a Class by Itself</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">One
compelling reason to consider a bike like the Ninja 250R is, if you
live in the U.S., you can use all the power this bike has on the street
legally. Novel concept, isn’t it?</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">Anyone
who’s ridden a fast 600 or literbike knows what I’m talking about.
Scream it through four gears, and you’re doing a buck-fifty in about
12-15 seconds.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">Kids,
don’t try that at home. But if you do, you could get a prize. Yep,
your local government will be more than happy to give you a free ride
in a police car!</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">In
all seriousness, the big mystery to us is why have all the other
Japanese OEMs allowed Kawasaki Motor Corporation to have an almost
exclusive market segment all to itself for so long?</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">Requests
for info from Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki, while slightly illuminating,
really gave no further clarity on this question for us to report, so
we’ll just tell you what we think.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">Way
back in 1988, the introduction of the then-new Ninja 250 was credited
with momentarily spiking KMC to the top of the U.S. sales charts –
even above mighty Honda. Since then, the Ninja 250R has been
established into a perennial best seller.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">As
a quintessential beginner’s bike, we think there might be more room
in the wading pool for the other OEMs to jump in with 250 sportbikes
of their own. Of course, the over-documented recession looming above
the North American market is ample opportunity for plausible
deniability at the moment, but this has been going on for decades.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">We’ve
already documented in a previous sidebar, we do not think 600cc
sportbikes are necessarily good “entry level” bikes, but sales to
newbies of large and fast bikes have been the trend here in the good ol’
US of A, where bigger is too often touted as better.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">Actually,
since there’s no tiered licensing here, there’s less incentive for
OEMs to import smaller sportbikes already being sold elsewhere in the
world. And it’s a ripe opportunity for marketers and dealers to play
into Americans’ natural sensibility, and up-sell bigger bikes, which of
course, earn larger profits.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">Please
indulge us for a moment here, while we adamantly repeat: We think
it’s usually safer and better for novices to learn on a competent bike
that doesn’t have overwhelming power until skills are developed.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">Yes,
the 250R is slow compared to its bigger brothers, but that’s not a
bad thing. If you opt for bigger, we respect that, but advise that you
also be sure to self-evaluate that you have the inherent talents to
grow into it quickly.</span></div>
<div align="justify">

<div align="justify">
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">As an All-Rounder</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">The
Ninja 250R runs at high rpm – as high as 8-12,000 rpm or more on the
highway – but it’s built for it with features like reinforced pistons
and direct valve actuation. The powerband is healthy throughout this
range, and begins to taper below redline so riders are less tempted to
excessively hammer it. This is a deliberately engineered safeguard
meant to discourage over-revving, thereby increasing longevity.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">At
374 lbs, the quarter-liter Ninja is kind of porky considering the
lightest literbikes weigh only 65 lbs more. On the plus side, this
weight makes it more stable when holding your space among large vehicles
on open roadways, and in staving off the affects of strong
crosswinds. </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">A
big center-mounted speedometer dominates the functional instrument
cluster, and a smaller tachometer on the left matches the right-side
fuel gauge. Switchgear is likewise functional, and of typical good
Japanese quality.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">Around
town, the gearbox still gets used a lot. Running up a suburban side
street can require two or three gear changes. Handling and braking are
confidence inspiring here, as they are everywhere else.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />

</span><b><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">Conclusion</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">The
Ninja 250R has a suggested price of $3,999 ($4,299 for the Special
Edition tested). It has the capability to be the only bike some riders
ever need, and is particularly suited as an entry-level motorcycle to
add to the list of choices compiled by veteran MO staffer, Pete
Brissette, in his excellent primer on the subject.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">We
glossed over some of the 250R’s details, but Kawasaki’s engineers
didn’t. A quick look at KMC’s spec sheet shows they have thought about
every aspect of this machine’s design and construction, and we have no
reason to doubt it.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;">The
250R has a known-good reliability record and is built to last. There
are a couple other Asian 250s in the sportbike class, but as the only
Japanese 250 imported to the U.S., the Ninja 250R is a class act
that’s in a class by itself.</span></div>

customers. </span><span style="background-color: white;" title="Selain itu revisi dipastikan untuk membuat motor sport ini kembali bisa kompetitif di arena balap.">In addition, certain revisions to make it back motor sport can be competitive on the racecourse. <br />
</span><span style="background-color: white;" title="Menyedihkan memang bila melihat nasib kedua motor balap Suzuki ini, Gixxer 600 yang punah dari ajang WSS menunjukkan, kalau doi memang kurang kompetitif, apalagi dengan tidak turunnya pabrikan!">Sadly,
this is when you see the fate of the two motor racing Suzuki, Gixxer
600 species of WSS arena shows, if your vacation is less competitive,
especially with no decrease in the manufacturer! </span><span style="background-color: white;" title="Yang namanya pembalap dan tim, pasti mencari senjata yang paling menjanjikan, bukan yang angin-anginan.">Whose name drivers and teams, certainly looking the most promising weapon, not that fickle. </span><span style="background-color: white;" title="Sebenarnya Gixxer 600 bukan motor jelek, doi bisa mengimbangi perlawanan rival senegaranya, hanya saja, bukan yang terbaik!">Gixxer 600 motor actually not bad, doi could offset the opposition rival compatriot, only, not the best! </span><span style="background-color: white;" title="Dalam keadaan standard, doi sepadan dengan CBR 600 RR yang sama-sama diasapi ZX-6R dan R6.">In standard circumstances, doi commensurate with the CBR 600 RR equally smoked ZX-6R and R6. </span><span style="background-color: white;" title="Masalahnya, CBR 600 RR sudah terbukti kompetitif dan banyak part racingnya.">The problem, CBR 600 RR has proven competitive and many parts racingnya. </span><span style="background-color: white;" title="Pabrikannya pun turun di WSS, sedangkan Suzuki tidak.">The manufacturer was down in WSS, while the Suzuki no. </span><span style="background-color: white;" title="Mana ada tim yang mau maju perang dengan persenjataan minim??!!!">Where there are teams that want to go to war with minimal weaponry ??!!! <br />
</span><span style="background-color: white;" title="Bagaimana dengan Gixxer 750?">What about the Gixxer 750? </span><span style="background-color: white;" title="Seperti kita ketahui, motor mantan penjelajah di WSBK saat berkapasitas 750 cc ini merupakan satu-satunya motor balap 750 cc yang masih dipertahankan Suzuki.">As
we know, the motor current of former explorers in WSBK capacity of
750 cc of this is the only motor racing that still retained 750 cc

</span><span style="background-color: white;" title="Gixxer 750 sebelumnya yang bermesin bertenaga 150 PS tampaknya akan direvisi lumayan banyak.">Gixxer 750 before the engine-powered 150 PS is likely to be revised quite a lot. </span><span style="background-color: white;" title="Sketsa yang disebarkan Paul Rowney dari Suzuki International Europe memperlihatkan desain akhir Gixxer dan GSR 750 (foto yg. bawah).">Paul Rowney Sketch spread of Suzuki International Europe shows the final design Gixxer and GSR 750 (image.

to mention the new Gixxer look that looks more simple and sharp, even
love applaus ane ... From 4 funnel air in front of the fairing can we
expect, how the growing importance of the role of air entering the
airbox and air needed for cooling the engine. </span><span style="background-color: white;" title="Kalau Gixxer 750 saat ini bertenaga 150 PS, kemungkinan besar tahun 2011 nanti tentunya ada peningkatan power lagi, 3 PS saja juga sudah cukup baik, dengan syarat motor bisa lebih powerful di putaran menengah.">If
Gixxer 750 is currently powered 150 PS, chances are that by 2011
there will certainly increase in power again, 3 PS it also is good
enough, provided that the motor can be more powerful in the middle
rounds.</span></span><br />

is instead similar to the joint in front of the Yamaha FZ1 and R6
Ninja ZX-10R plus gress in the stern, a design that can be ascertained
"safe" with a proven appeal. </span><span style="background-color: white;" title="Di satu sisi bagus untuk menarik minat konsumen, tetapi di sisi lain Suzuki jadi tidak punya ciri khas.">On one side is good for the consumer interest, but on the other hand Suzuki have had no characteristic. <br />

Et cette fois, ce sont les pneus pour motos sportives qui seront à l'honneur, puisque deux manufacturiers ont déjà annoncé deux premières mondiales. Pirelli présentera le Diablo Rosso 2, la relève attendue du modèle actuel, un pneu "monogomme" polyvalent et stratégique pour le fabricant italien puisque couvrant une large gamme de motos, allant des hypersportives aux roadsters musclés. Le Pirelli Diablo Rosso 2 adoptera-t-il un composé multi gomme comme la plupart de ses concurrents ? Réponse à venir sur Moto-Station.com.<br />
Concernant Bridgestone, la nouveauté présentée à Milan sera davantage orientée haut de gamme sport, voire sport racing. Le Bridgestone Battlax R10 est conçu pour la piste mais aussi homologué pour la route. Il sera disponible en trois dimensions - 120/70 ZR 17 (58W) - 180/55 ZR 17 (73 W) - 190/55 ZR 17 (75W) - couvrant donc la plupart des sportives hautes performances actuelles.</span></div></div>mytopmotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02393288006215893843noreply@blogger.com0
