Ninja 250r long trips

Looking to drive from Adelaide to barmera next weekend on my bike. Just wondering will the bike be ok at a 400km round trip mainly sitting on 100? Or should I just take the car to be safer on the bike?

400km round trip on a Ninja 250 siting mainly on 100kph won't be a problem for it

go for it mate! ive done longer days on mine than that, and at well more than 100kph. it'll be fun

Barmera is an easy straight run, go for it.

I guess the only reason I was worried. Was sitting on 8k revs seems alot to me as I'm new to riding

Jesus I rode 700 klm's in one day on a 250, not even close to a problem...even for a 125!
Are you up for the ride tomorrow?

Unsure on the ride tomorrow. Haven't had a chance to ride the hills more than once. I'd rather get my confidence up before going on a group ride. So I'll be out n about tomorrow.

Like many others have said and done, a 250 can go anywhere big bikes can. Did Melbourne to Bathurst to Melbourne on a Suzuki GT250 back in the early '70's. Didn't miss a beat.
Even got the little bugger up to 105MPH down Conrod Straight....back in the days when they opened the track to the public after the racing had finished for the day. Just get on it and ride!!

Didn't I see something on the news in the last day or two about a guy riding a postie bike around the world??? They're only a 110cc I believe, the 250 will do big k's easiy

watch out for the popo on the stuart h-way around nuri/wakerie areas
use to ride me lill 2fiddy to renmark all the time.
take care if theres a big cross wind

I'd recommend buying a hemorrhoid donut, my ass got numb as on long trips on the 250.

regular breaks and ull be laughing

It wont be then Bike you'll be worried about after 400kays on your 250, hehehe! Their seats are not long-distance friendly!

How do you guys get over this "unfriendly seat" problem?

Commuting to work on my bike for just a little over an hour and it still gets uncomfortable!

What good ideas have you guys got....
