Default 2008 ninja 250 update

I now have over 500 miles on the bike. So last night I was doing 60mph down the freeway and drop it in to 4th. I took it up to 13,000 hit 5th and took it up to 13,000. That is about 90 mph. It revvs nice and clean all the way up to 13,000. It keeps pulling all the way up to 90mph. Not like a 600 but it sure is a blast to ride.

I've had my 250R just over 100 mph before. They will move if you want them to.

i've got my 07 250 up to 105mph on a freshly paved interstate and i think it still had more room to push.

Im pretty sure the 250 redlines @ 13,500 or 13,800. Atleast I know my 04 does. And I have had it to 90 with no problems a few times.

Everything up through 2007 has a rev limiter @ 14,200 rpm, and top speeds run between 105-115 mph depending on rider weight. I don't know what the 2008 does, but it was my understanding it trades a few rpm for better low-speed grunt. I'm sure the single pipe has a lot to do with that.
