      Bugga, I could have put a set of motard wheels on the WR and give that a go.
      Might drive down for a look see,

      Thanks Kawasaki for an epic day at the strip!!

      Had a blast running the Ninja 250 down the straight, shame i'm slower than the missus...... She does have a weight advantage.... thats all it was i'm sure

      And the best part is I walked away with a free watch and new set of tyres!!!!

      Again thanks to all involved for an awesome day

      Thanks Kawasaki! This was a solid day. Great experience as well being my first attempt at drag racing. I sucked at launching but had loads of fun.
