250 vs the "big bikes" at Laguna Seca

I have to admit 10 minute videos often feel like death by Youtube, however in this case it was thrilling to watch from start to finish. The Ninja rider was really on it only having a poor lap in the fourth minute when the bike in front was passing another bike and pushed him off line, this made the subsequent corner a bit of a "Sphincter pincher".
It also sounded like the bike was a stoker which makes it even more impressive.

I've seen a Ninja 250 with bigger bikes whippin it on Montezuma Valley Rd. Love hearing that parallel twin preaching in the turns! Very impressive!
Yeah very good to watch indeed. Is this a case of superior skills or quick turning bike? Would the rider be as good at carrying all that corner speed on a bigger bike? Probably.

God.... I love this.
I wonder what they could do with a Ninja 300

+1! I rarely make it through 10 minute youtube vids, but this one was awesome all the way through. He was shockingly faster through the turns and carried way more speed into them than anyone else. Great stuff :thumbup:

Was this a Track Day, and was that an instructor on the Ninja 250? He (or she) sure made it look easy especially through the corkscrew. What was the rider signaling to the Ninja at 4:10, pass, don't pass, or "kid just stay back your bothering me". I also enjoy having the inset of the rear view camera.:thumbup:

I knew a guy from the R125 forum who took his R125 to a track day at Donington Park in England. Mixing it up with the R1s and GSXR750s was pretty much the same story. The bike was so light he could just nail it all the way around the circuit and out corner almost everyone.
