A broad, blanket statement of one man's opinion that is, in MY opinion, only partially true.

The Kaw Ninja 250 goes fast enough to get you in trouble....with the law and gravity and handles good too.

Other current 250's won't quite do that but they are more than adequate for lots of things "realistic". Interstate riding is NOT one of those things, in most cases.

My 250 will exceed the speed limit on any non-interstate highway and it is fun to ride........even on 1200 mile road trips. To each his own.
