A few weeks ago while riding the 300 Ninja on a test ride, i kept thinking to myself, man, this feels so much like my old 2000 model VFR800 its not funny.

so i went a hunting today to see if i can find anything in the specs of the bike to prove/disprove my theory

ninja 300 specs

VFR800 2000 model specs

now look at wheelbase and rake/trail, and seat height.

the ninja 300 certainly is a recipe for much fun riding and you can easily step off one of these to a VFR800 no problems. the vfr800 2000 model will have you leaning over more, but handle bar risers will fix that.

well done kawasaki

I think the dimensions of the bike have nothing to do with the handling, its got to do with sexy factor. The higher it is, the better the bike handles. Duh!

hahahahahahahahahaaaaaa crack me up

of course the wheel base and rake would have nothing to do it either

I credit the low gyroscopic mass. It isn't light, or especially flickably by its geometry. Thin tires and a small crank and cams are easier to persuade to change direction.

Ride a 450 MX bike against a 250 4t MX bike, or a 125cc 2t.

I agree! With both these theories! Sexiness and the geometry thing lol
