Ninja e1 too slow for real roads

[cheesyDog]

Heard the buzz about the new Ninja e1 but that 65 mph top speed just ain't cutting it for me. I mean even my little KLX230 hits 70 and those highway stretches are still a drag. How are you supposed to get anywhere on the highway with that kind of speed? I'm wondering if it's just meant for city cruising or if there's some secret trick to getting more out of it. Anyone actually ridden one of these things on a longer road?

Yeah, 65 mph feels pretty limiting for highway use, it seems more like a city commuter than a true all-rounder.

Yeah, the Ninja e-1 is definitely more of a city bike, that 65 mph limit makes highways tough. Have you considered mods, or just not interested?
