Default Lol on the "step down"! I actually agree...

...about the flames. They're somewhat cheesy, but you really have to get close to the bike to appreciate the Pearl Crystal White. I actually made the comment to a few of the guys that I loved the paint but the graphics were "meh". Good choice, though ; ) Definitely better than a freakin' Concours!

Oh, and definitely be careful...there's about 150hp seperating the ZX-14 and that Ninja 250 ; ) One of the techs out back had the rear tire spinning on the ZX-14 at 115mph in 3rd!

Yeah, I'm scared to death of it - but some would consider that to be a good thing.

Default Don't be scared - be smart! You'll have fun with right attitude. Besides...

...it IS definitely fun to know that for $10k you can embarass everything on the highway short of a Ferrari Enzo ; )

Default Low enough

It was around 45% with the 788cc injectors, I took them out and am running 630cc's now so it'll be higher, but i still have plenty of room to play with for the E85, and those numbers are with a 3 bar FPR so I could raise that too.

The car doesn't really make much power, and I haven't tried to get more out of it yet, it's a big learning experiment.

Default doesnt e85 give less mpg?

so a calculation between mpg on e85 and gas to get a cost per mile/per fuel would be interesting.

parents bought a flex fuel impala some weeks ago (at first i thought its a malibu and posted it as such) but here in va we only have 3 e85 gas stations.. granted parents can get onto base and get some fuel there but even the base is super far away to make it even worth driving.

how many e85 stations are in your area?
