250 ninja work's well for me

My 4 week average is 108 MPG after changing to 16/33 sprockets and a non-oring chain. Typically may ride to work is mixed city driving with a 7 miles at 55 . Coming up to lights and down hills I P&G and the new non-oring chain glides at least twice as far. I have calculated top speed at about 93 MPH in 3rd gear but haven't tried it yet. My point being is that I have no problem keeping up with traffic you just have to pick the right gear. In slow traffic I am typically in sixth gear at 33 MPH. If I were to start again I would probably go with the new ninja 300 but it isn't exactly cheap. If I ever get into serious aero mods I would gear the 250 higher yet.
