About 150 miles total so far, weather here has been lousy for just about the whole month. Sold another bike today, $1200, $1850, and $2100 (3 bikes) so now I have 3 bikes left and more money than I spent on the Ninja 300 to say nothing about the insurance savings or plates and registration.
My only complaint is the final drive ratio. 6K RPM at 54 MPH should be 6K at 60. I can get most of it with another tooth on the front sprocket, just under 4 MPH would make it 58 MPH at 6k. I might do this soon, but will wait some time to see what my average mileage is before the change.
This bike is awfully quick for 18.1 cubic inches. 35 HP is about the same as my 71 CB350, but the 6 speed makes it faster. I think even the weight is close to the same. Amazingly close when you compare 2013 to 1971 but when it comes to brakes there is no comparison of cable operated drums to hydraulic discs. Of course the old CB redlined at 9200 while the Ninja is 13000.
