Ninja 250 -> RC51
After finishing my Motorcycle Safety Foundation riders course (to get my Nevada Class M Endorsement) this past weekend in which they supply a Ninja 250, it felt really awkward getting back on my RC51 today. heheh

The overall weight difference doesn't bother me, but the lil Ninja was much easier to steer and the handlebar/seat positioning was more relaxed. Maybe Satos would fix this. The RC definitely feels stiffer when turning, but I know this is comparing apples and oranges. You should have seen me on that 250 tho, 6'1 and 230 pounds! eeeeeeep!!!!

I feel your pain Creeper!

When I teach the MSF course, we do the demo's of the exercises on a Honda Rebel 250.

I usually get the "Bear on a bicycle" and "Hey Buddy, you know you've got a honda sticking outta yer ass" comments.

I'm 6'3" & 290#.

No way those jeans would be shredded. Not to mention the Ascot would let lose before that and is similar in setup.

Denim makes a great knee puck. (cough<bogus>cough)

Those bikes are a lot of fun though!

Re: Ninja 250 -> RC51
No way boys, thats a still shot. At that angle the shifter is pushed all the way up, the footpeg is against the case, and the frame is on the ground! You think the Cheng Shins could handle that? LOL! Now I can drag my knee on these things but I put the track suit on and hang off to do it
