For bending the legs, back GT250R looks very Racy at an angle 89.1 with the shortest distance of 44.5 cm. while the CBR and Ninja has the same seat-footpeg that is equal to 47.5cm, but the CBR is wider angle of 91.6 degrees.

If you see a dyno comparison of the results conducted by Motorcyclist, then we can know that the CBR 250r motors are the most torqi at the bottom and middle RPM. At three thousand RPM, torque has been above 10 lb.ft, while the GT250R is at number 10 lb.ft and Ninja are under 10 lb.ft. . . With this it was concluded that the CBR could dominate the drag on low-mid rpm to 400 meter than others. Dyno check below. . .

For top power, held by the Ninja 250R with a 24.6 figure bhp@10.250 rpm measured at the rear tire. And Ninja has other advantages with the lack of vibration at high RPM. According to Motorcyclist, the CBR engine 250 will begin to vibrate the rear view mirror and began to be felt in footpage at 10,500 rpm RPM start.

Japanese car manufacturers also have other models that occupy the top 10 selling U.S. car market, namely the Chevrolet Malibu (position 3), the Chevy Traverse (position 8), Tundra (9), GMC Acadia (10), and Honda is in two places top 10 .
