what color was the bike? dual exhaust? did it have a square looking head light? In any words, was it this bike: http://images.google.com/imgres?img...rev=/images?q=ninja+250&gbv=2&svnum=10&hl=en?
Supra vs. Kawasaki!!

I also had a 2000 Ninja EX-500 for the wife and it was still very quick. But, I could see his supra beating that especially with that Holset turbo. There is a huge difference between the EX-500 and the ZX6R. I now ride a 2006 CBR 600RR and that thing hauls some ass. I think like 109HP and dry weight is like 370.
So, if it was a 500, good kill.

Hey Roy (aka tte)
Don't mean to hijack but....Got any pics of the NSR 250? Do you still have it? I'd love to see that. I miss my last ZX-6.
It does take skill to ride a bike to its full potential. I know for a fact i could not push my r6 around the track as well as a pro rider. I also do know, i am average to above average rider, and it does take skill to know how to ride. For instance, rev range, powerband, launching etc. My r6 with a pro rider on it ran a 10 sec 1/4. My best i could muster was a 11.2. Also, bikes arent exactly quick off the line, you have to worry about wheelying, or bogging out. Im looking at my time slip now, and my best was a 2.0 sec 60 foot with a .536 reaction time.
it wasnt brand new at all.. it looked clean, but who knows.. he could have LET me win for all i know.. but as far as im concerned, i win! woot!
If you raced and you won, then yeah you win fair and square without grey area of course. Definately not trying to take that away from you.SupraDupra500 said:
We're all just speculating about what could have/might have/should have happened.
I've beaten cars I don't think I should have before too. There's way too many variables to accurately bench race any race. Anything can happen.

I dont have my NSR250 anymore.
That was my first bike...the one I learnt on...My friends thought I was crazy buying a fast bike to learn. Because of this bike I felt in love with bikes.
All aluminum...light weight and very fast.
I dont have any pics of it with me here but here is a link

I am thinking of getting one imported from Australia or New Zealand.
Cheers,
Roy

it was quite similar to that, but there wasnt as much body on it.. you could see a lot of frame. black painted frame, with dark red fuel tank. single exhaust.. ummm thats all i can remember.. the rear tire wasnt too wide either.
any 2-stroke sportbike is insane. even a 125 can get you into WAY more trouble than you'd ever think possible.
NSR500 was never offered for sale as far as I know, but ya, an NSR500 can hit 200mph on race fuel without issue, and spin the wheel thru 5 gears, wheely in all 6 without any clutch action... complete insanity.
