WSMC Ninja 250R Cup Race
It’s been a while since we had some Ninja Racing Porn on here… This is a video from the WSMC Ninja 250R Cup Race September 21, 2008 at Willow Springs Raceway in Rosemond California. This video was shot from from the bike of AMA racer Jeff Tigert Richard Barnett of www.racebikerentals.com.

That guy took a good one and I think the ground won. For me to race one of my personal bikes i’d have to have a real clunker or be fast enough to belong to a race team where they provided me with the bikes. If I crashed my bike like that I’d have a hard time getting past that even after waking up in a hospital bed. I’ve done that and my family can verify it. I’m of the frame of mind that your body will heal where your bike just takes it bent frame and all. I always worry about my bikes/cars more then myself. It’s crazy and I know it but what can you do.

Sweet, it looks like most of the front runners were running Area P exhausts the horse power king of exhausts. Seeing this video makes me want the green version. Looks like a blast but it has to be hard on the little Kawi motor. When I haul ass on it I feel like I’m going to break it where I’m not doing it for seven straight full out laps. I wonder how many miles you can get out of a race bike of this nature before you have to do serious internal maintenance?

I pretty sure there were some more vids at YouTube of this track and one guy had it where you could see the speedo and it was saying around 90 to 100 around around a large portion of the track.

Well, I have done 112, as verified by GPS. I sure didn’t enjoy it though.
My normal max speed is in the low 90’s. Anything more is a matter of faith in skinny tires and bending myself onto a tiny tank.
Great videos.
I wish I lived near a track….

skinny tyres doesnt kill you if you’re just going fast in a straight line… in fact there would be less friction with less contact patch so higher speeds… IMO
