![]() 60-65 mpg is still well above my FR-S at 22-26 mpg. ![]() But at least on the 250, the mpg loss is negligible for me. I used the difference to pick up the lowest cost dfc I could find.įrom my experience with cars, piggy back units/tuning typically smooth out power delivery (mostly by way of adding fuel), while decreasing fuel economy. I dont really care for the stock exhaust note, and managed to find a used akrapovic for about half of what it retails for. The hand grips were too small and I felt more vibration than I cared for, so I added foam grip covers. Im not staying stock (obviously if you have read my jbp thread), but its more for the fact that I like to tinker with stuff than anything. Its light, fun, easy to learn (hard to master! lol), and, its a Honda! ![]() Right when it came time to purchase the Ninja 300 was released, so I hemmed and hawed some more. I knew going in that I wasnt getting a "fast" bike. I for one wanted a bike to learn on, and to commute with. Not the answer you want but its the best answer there is.Ĭlick to expand.I think it really centers on the individuals expectations. Ill say it again MSF course and track days will get you more out of the bike then any amount of aftermarket parts you can put on it <- trust me on this. The bike has only been out a few years let the aftermarket guys catch up with the bike. I know you are wanting more HP Look at my avatar thats my 250 I have put everything on it that you can imagine, spent more money on it then I needed to and it still only does 155 KPH 96 MPH down hill with me and my wife on it. Learn the bike and your capabilities on it, then when you go ride with your buddies and hit the twisties you can amaze your friends with how you can keep up with and even pass a 600cc bike in the turns. Like I mentioned above your better off getting some GOOD tires, take an MSF course, and going to the track. Like grynchmeister pointed out you can spend over $1000 however you might only gain 2 - 3 more HP stock you have maybe 24HP so if you dont mind spending a lot for minimum HP gain then buy what your heart desires. Unfortunately for us modders/customisers Honda did the bike right the first time. It gets great fuel mileage, gives plenty of grins under your helmet. Thats just it your not going to get any head snapping pull the front wheel off the ground 200 MPH out of this bike, its a great commuter/learning bike. Im asking for answers to that degree, Angel My first choice was a cbr600rr but opted for this because of price and a new over used/dogged bike!! But i feel this will be a bike to keep because of ease of use, gas milage, and fun factor. Now if i hit the limits of her performance and still want more i will consider a bigger bike. Im sure after getting a use to her in the coming months i would like to increase the powerband a bit more. While selling the bike for bigger, this bike in its current form and settings i love, the feel and finish. But as an owner you can tweak and enhance this to your liking. We all know that manufacturers have a range of legal limits to keep within to sell the bikes. I do know that my 250r is running at its peak stock, but would like to increase this as far as i can go with bolt on parts. All without shortening life of the motor or reliability. Increased throttle response and acceleration. What i was asking was what performance parts are the best in terms of the numbers. While you all have valid points, those are all in place, and of course i know you can always keep improving your riding. I have a friend that can out run me on a raider 150 in the twisties, not on the straights as I have more power, but he has many years of practice. Learn counter steering, roll on the throttle, find the apex in corners, always look where you want to go in a turn. I guess what I am trying to say is its your bike do what you want with it, the mods that you mentioned for the bike would probably be the best, but learning to ride it to the fullest can beat any mods or after market parts you put on the bike. After a year or 2 and many miles later upgrade to a bigger bike if you still enjoy riding, and start all over again. Go take an advanced course in motorcycle training, watch the films mentioned above or read the books, get a few track days or get a lot of track days. It really doesnt matter what you put on the bike as for performance mods, the bike is a single pumper thats almost right at the max of its HP, you can put an aftermarket exhaust and save a few pounds, you can purchase a set of Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa tires and ride it until there is no more thread left on the tire, but like a few have said and many will I am sure, get to know you and the bike what you can and cant do with it.
