advantages of Vetter faring and use in the IBR

[Joshua Farmer]

I am looking at installing a Vetter or Vetter stile faring on my 250 ninja and entering in the 2019 as a hopeless class. Has anyone road one of these LD ? The advantage is that it makes the little ninja get 100 MPG.

Looks interesting and would certainly be cool at the start. What year 250? It seems modern 250's while not particularly comfortable; are not really hopeless from a mechanical standpoint any longer.

I don't think a Ninja 250 would qualify for the hopeless class. Check out the following listing extracted from

Note that smaller bikes have finished, but wanted to highlight the Ninja 250 in particular.
