Only watched it for a minute. I knew a guy who used to ride like this, Gary Jahne. He rode a Ninja 250 and he was faster than anyone in the mountains around here. He's dead now, bled internally in a ravine next to Pescadero Road.

I was debating upgrading to a 600 this year. After watching this, I’ve found that my 400 does the job just fine
@ShortGuyMoto
@ShortGuyMoto 2 жыл бұрын
600's are great. The only thing I would do is raise the handlebars for street comfort. The seating position is way more aggressive than a stock N400. However, the 400 is a great platform and I like how balanced the bike is.

Impressive. I enjoyed cycling this climb for many years but gave it up. The ninja bikes have spoiled Hiway 9 by using it as a race course with no regard for anyone else on the road. By the way….the side of this road is littered with busted plastic bike shreds left behind by your bros who couldn’t handle it.

I don't wear my suit tho on 9.. bruh i feel like bigger bike than mine is overkill on 9 i feel like you don't wana throw around a heavy ass bike.. I think 600ish is perfect weight to power ratio for hot laps.. I'll get up to 145 on the straights and where your doing turns at like 90 is I'm at 120 ish.. but the downhill I think the 400 might be neck and neck or possibly even faster.. idk I ride downhill mountain bikes a lot so l like a bike I can throw around and get zesty with haha hopefully my bike is out the shop soon id be down to ride bro
