The solution to your problem is simple. Get the 2009 "big bang" Yamaha R1.

You are correct, the Ninja is a bit gutless under 8000rpm.... then again it is a 250. Maybe cos your bf is beating you thats why you have only really noticed now. If you want to push the bike always ride above 8500rpm and give it heaps.

BTW 4th gear tops out at 110kmph at 13000rpm to give you a mark to go by.
The bike is happiest in the higher rev range, it can do it so use it!

Your engine was broken in after 20kms, then finished at about the 1000km mark so go nuts!

how/why it took them this long is beyond me - probably something to do with the honda being (alledgedly) better without any of the variable intake tracts etc etc so they thought they'd pull out an old project they'd been keeping for some time to release as a marketing ploy; "crosswank technology" or something like that... either that or they've only just figured out how to do it without snapping the crank.....

kinda like how food/drink companies come out with NEW chocolate/banana/strawberry/bananaberry flavour!!!11!! not exactly a breakthrough but they'd like you to think it is, and it's nice nonetheless
