Frame sliders are always fitted on the frame, hence the name.

There are the no cut ones where you don't have to drill a hole in the fairing and there are the ones where you do have to drill a hole.

Congrats on the buy. I hope you've also picked up some decent riding gear, boots & gloves, jacket et al?
Ride safe!

Congrats on the Ninja 250R, balenopower. First the RX-Z and now the 250R. Wonder whats next!

Looking forward to a Long-Term ownership update.

Ok. Guess I framed my question wrongly.

Was just asking which one of the 2 is he opting for? I guess he will need to drill a hole in the fairing. Correct me if I am wrong.

Getting to the riding position, its more upright and comfortable than an R15 but compared to my earlier ZMA, it definitely puts more strain on the wrists. but hugging the tank a little tighter quicky rids of the excess weigh on the wrist.Just that it will take some tiem to get used to the new riding position. Overall id say the ergonomics are pretty good.

Hmm.. so the seating position is not great, is that correct? I also noticed a very thin cushion for the rider. Maybe that is also to blame?

The seating position is pretty comfortable its just that the seat is typical sports bike-ish so one has to get used to it.. I am sure BP's bum will get used to it before he finishes the run in.

So when are we going for the photo shoot Abhi?

saturday, the LB the 15 and the Ninjaa!!

[SpinWizard]

Hi balenopower, That's a very hot looking bike congrats
Could you please shed some light on the acceleration of the bike and also how easy/difficult it is to ride the baby within city limits ?

Thanks

Thanks for the clarification baleno. Is there any solution to the seat thingy. I mean can it be made more rider friendly. Am still waiting for some more pics

BTW, does the headlamp always stay on when you start the bike? I heard it has Daytime lights.

[balenopower]

@spinwizard - Coming from singles, the acceleration id pretty fierce but also very linear. No problem whatsoever riding it around town, apart from temperature needle rising in very hot and trafficky conditions.

@murtaza - The seat is pretty comfortable. Infact any litre or 600 cc sport bike will be even more uncomfortable thanks to the aggressive riding position coupled with the thin seat. its just a matter of getting used to in the Ninja.

congrats on your new ride abhi...ride safe
hope to see it soon
