I would guess you 18,000 rpm gsxr would be a little quicker than the new ninjas. They are pretty slow.

Thanks for all your help...... any R6 riders out there?

All of sudden your wanting an r6 now??
Theres a huuuge difference between the new ninja 250 and an R6! You were saying in ur posts b4 that u didnt want a bigger bike and now you do.
Another thing a r6 isnt really a commuter which what you said is most of the riding you do.
My advice is look for a 600 thats more suited to the sort of riding you do, which a r6 is definitely not
is never afraid...
Commuting on an R6 is fine as long as hes aware how fast he'll chew through tyres etc
Plenty of people commute on sprotsbikes, besides, commuting down here is a little different to up in Auckland

Food for thought: I get about 400km per tank.... approx $37 by the same measure.

Have to agree - You should consider an FZR400/600 instead. Similar bikes.......but not as lethal.
Friend went from a FZR250 to K3 600........he gave me a new definition of "high slide".
Would hate the same to happen to you man.
FYI - FZR400 will still get to 200kph quick enough (bit more if its good)...even the bucket of bolts I have does that.

Hyosung 250 >.>
17L tank so you can easily get 350+km on a fill. Better fuel efficiency than the ninja too... Only problem is the depreciation on the bike (i.e. pick one up 2nd hand for cheap)
Hmm.
Want to bet?

Get a proper ninja at least. zxr250c 4 cylinder beast. will eat any other 250.. (minus the beastly aprillia)
looks modern enough. but to be honest if you're gonna have to compensate a huge price difference its not worth it and you should stick to what you have.

You forgot about the RGV250. And the NSR250. And the TZR250. And don't forget that a lot of the 250cc 2 smoker dirt bikes are pushing in excess of 60bhp.

That's exactly the same economy as my CBR. Except I've got about 1/4 of the power that you've got.

The 90's jap 4 cylinder screamers in good nick look far, far better than the new 250 barbie dolls. The only good thing about having one of those is guaranteed parts availability and for some people a warranty.

I was so surprised but confirmed it with other Busa riders. It only works if in cruise mode on the open roads though. Giving it stick blows any hint of economy right out the exhaust pipe!

Good luck with the next bike. Let us know if/when you're selling the GSXR. Just about to buy my first bike, and I live pretty close to where you are.Ok well I took one for a test today and the verdict.... Im holding out now for a yamaha R6....
