    I think that would be a neat race to watch. My bet is on the Blast. Let us know.

    Well you got 250 more cc's so my bet is on you, even before the Vance & Hines. That exhaust really opens that single. I do love how the little Ninja handles the twisties where I live. A guy I know has an 09 and he flogs it like a bmx bike. Fun to watch for sure. We don't have a Blast in our group for comparison but it would be nice to see a side to side.

    Depends what kinda racing we're talking about. My bike has 385cc more than 600cc sportbikes and they can still outrun me depending on the kind of race.

    The Ninja doesn't have much of a top end, just around 95-105. They take a while to get there too. Whenever our friend rides with us on the freeway we have to send someone back to make sure he's still with us. If we don't leave him in the dust he can cruise around 80 no real issues.

    My bet is on the Blast aswell... I think the blast puts out around 34 horses 30 ft-lb and the ninja about 26.1 and 18 ft-lbs...The blast may be heavier, but that single cylinder puts out more torque that the 2 cyl ninja.

    Dragtimes has a Blast running 13.7@95, and an old 250 doing 16.7@76. Even if the new 250s got twice as strong, even a 500r ran 13.4@97, so I think you've got him
