    CBR"s, Ninja's(unsure of the new one), Across' and ZZR's all have the same motors.
    The Across and ZZR just have de-tuned motors, and are ugly as sin.

    I'm riding this GSXR600 at the moment. It's not mine, I'm just running it in for a mate.



    I must say it good to be back on a bike after a few years not riding. Its a great bike too. But i gotta say there is no way I'm buying a pure sports bike for my next one, it gives me a sore arse lol.

    ^^^ Totally agree with number 2 Dom, when I was but a young teenager I got into bikes, rode like I was a motogp star, had a few smallish offs, nothing serious but enough to hurt myself each time,

    got out of it, but it's always in the blood, cars cannot compare to the acceleration of a big bore sports bike! and wheelies.....the coolest thing EVER to do!

    late twenties got back into it, much wiser.

    now late 30's still own a bike, love to ride but think alot about self preservation.

    Funny when riding with a group of young bucks.....ego city, I hope they make it!

    LOL. Sounds like were all the same.
    It was the acceleration and cornering for me, wheelies make me poo!
    The front would get a foot in the air and it felt like 12o'clock to me, then i'd change my dacks.lol.

    The old Ninja's (zx2r's) had a 250cc 4cyl motor and where alot like the cbrs. The new ones are a parrarell twin and i haven't ridden one so i can't really comment.

    The Yamaha FZR was another 250cc 4cyl that was fairly similar but was a bit doeyer at lower revs but just the same at the top end when properly tuned. They also have a longer reach to the bars. Also counter steering seems to come into play at higher speeds that anyother 250cc bike i have ever ridden.?

    The Suzuki Across is serverely mechanically detuned and more of a commuter than a sports 250.

    The ZZR's where a 2 cyl parrarell twin that were extremely doey all the way through the revs and more of a commuter.

    I'm glad I don't have a restricted license......250's are soooo slow....even the 2 strokes.

    Years ago I owned an RGV, had minor work, pipes etc best time 13.1 @ 107mph BUT it was substantially faster than a cbr250 I kept dragging that night, his best 15.1@88mph!
