Hardrock Motorsports Released their HR1 exhaust for the Ninja 250R this past week. This is an interesting lil’ (literally) Exhaust, and finally brings something new to the mix vs your standard stainless / titanium / carbon fiber offerings…

The HR1 is small.. But, with it’s small size, it does give you the benefit of weight savings. The slip on canister weighs in at only 3.5 Lbs. In addition the HR1 has an interesting bit of technology built into it… Hardrock Motorsports calls it it “Variable Back Pressure Adjuster” — Which allows the user to adjust the back pressure of the exhaust to maximize mods.. Very Interesting.. Sorta grow as you go..

I haven’t found any sound clips or vids yet. But as soon as I do, I’ll make sure and get them up.

UPDATE: Video after the jump. Thanks for the link Michal!

Reader Chris sent me in this picture of his Homemade Shortie exhaust, and I just had to put it up. This is such a great little example of how crafty the 250R Community is getting.

Even better — When I asked Chris, he was nice enough to throw us together a lil step by step — AND — Add in some videos… Woot! So, if you’ve been looking for a shortie exhaust on the cheap… Here’s your chance..

Last week there was a post about painting your heatshield… This week, one of our readers Chris submitted some great step by step info on hwo to do this, but also doing the end cap on the exhaust as well… This adds a super rad touch…

[The following was Submitted by Chirs. Thanks!]

So, one of our readers sent us in some pictures of his proof of concept exhaust hanger that he is thinking about creating for our beloved Ninja 250R’s… But he is looking to Gauge interest on wther or not it is worth creating these bad boys..

Well… Ummm.. HELL YEAH! It’s worth it… But he’s not just looking for my word, he’s looking for our readers word as well.. So tell him what you think… He says He’s going to try and get them to be around $60/each… Which I think is a fair price to slap some billet on my bike and get rid of those rear pegs…

So, If you want these — Comment here and tell him to start cranking these bad boys out — And Make sure you tell All your friends to do so as well.. Because all I have to say is DIBS!!! — I get #1…

This is a real nice trick to spruce up your Black (Possibly red?) Ninja’s. Poster MurderedOut over at KawiForums posted up a few pics of his bike — and the first thing that caught my eye was the painted exhaust heat shield. To me, adding the paint really helps the blacks on the bike flow, instead of having this vomit of chrome brake side…

The How-To on this is pretty easy:

1. Remove 2 Bolts for heat shield.
2. Clean heat shield.
3. Lightly sand heat shield.
4. Shake Can.
5. Point and Spray.
6. Let Dry.
7. Re attach with 2 screws.

MurderedOut said he used a flat black.. And after thinking about it, I think I agree that the Flat black will look better than a high gloss black here. Either way — Make sure you get a high temp paint made for engine blocks, bbq grills, or other high temp applications. (Dupli-color makes a ceramic paint good up to 1200° which I highly recommend)

This is the first exhaust I have seen coming out of England for the 2008+ Ninja 250R. This is a nice looking Slipon (Or as they call it “End Can”)… Not details if it is just for the Fuel Injected models. (Do we know if that even makes a difference in exhaust choices yet? ) Colors Available are Stainless and Titanium, and the look to me is sorta a mix between Yoshi and Two Bros. Overall a really nice looking piece.. And if you’re worried about it being too loud, there is an additional silencer available for £50 (About 100$ USD)

Details:

DELTA Sport An evolution of Micron’s hugely popular Delta+ range, our new Delta Sport endcans feature the same, sleek oval design but boast revised inlet and outlet technology. And with more technology for the same price, it’s also astonishing value.

Microns site has a link to a video — but it doesn’t look like it’s online yet. I’ll update this post as soon as they get something up.

I give you… 2008 Ninja 250R… With cherry bomb exhuast…

Umm… I’m speechless… But, if you wanted to know if it could be done… then now you know the answer is yes…

Hands down I have to say that the Area-P might be the most popular exhaust for the Ninja 250R. And it makes sense, it has a great mix of price / performance, and sounds pretty damn good.

Following on the coat tails of their original exhaust the Quiet Core tames out the sound and switches out the shortie canister for a longer full canister with the same great looks.
Pricing stays the same starting at $450 (Stainless) to $495 (Carbon fiber).

A dyno chart for the Quiet Core is not available yet, but Area-P states that power delivery is pretty much the same for the quiet core as it is for their standard exhaust. Also, a jet kit is is not needed for this exhaust, but is recommended.

“After testing several other production bikes, we recommend Dynojet kit # 2193 or Factory Pro kit (or similar) to help optimize the fuel curve and further increase power, as the production bikes do have a tendency to run lean in the low/mid range especially.”

Last week, I posted about some of the goodies from Japan from K-Factory. Their slip-on exhaust was received with mixed reviews on it’s blued titanium look.. But now we have some sound clippage to go with the look…

Personally, I don’t think it sounds unique enough to stop everything and run out and buy it. But then again, I guarantee you’ll be the only cat in town with one of these guys on your Ninja 250 if you were able to pick one up..

Opinions? Thought?

Thanks to dnaLOR for tipping us off one some of these sexy bolt ons for the Ninja 250R. Again, Much like the K-Factory parts these currently seem to only be available in the Japanese Market. On a plus note, I did find a few importers for Beet parts in the US.. So we might get lucky and see some of this hotness stateside.

In the picture above you can clearly see the front rotor and exhaust (which come in race, full or slip on systems) - but they also have some really nice rear sets and some billet bolt ons. So for more information, breakout your favorite Japanese translator and head over to Beets Site to check out all the options.

And don’t expect this Hotness to come cheap.. *gulp* These are “You gotta Pay to Play” type parts */gulp* — But if you wanna have the most unique bike in Town.. or hell even the State.. This should be the one of the first places you look.
