I think the main hang-up with our motorcycles is the cam. Manufactures want high HP-weight ratios to sell bikes, but this also means inefficient engines with high top-ends. I shudder to think what a modestly geared up Ninja 250 with a more reasonable cam could do for mpg. Since this is the most commonly used bike for modding, is it possible we as a group could go in together to have a batch made? Personally I don’t have the knowledge or skill to design a better cam, I only know enough to know it could be done. That being said, with fuel injected bikes like the Honda 250 this option is less attractive because of tuning issues.
Does anyone else think this is viable?
