Subject: pre '94 vs. post '94
In the same artical I grabbed the 0-60 times for, I kept looking at it
and noticed that the pre '94 EX is rated faster than the post '94 Ninja:
1/4 Mile Acceleration:
1987-1993 EX-500 12.65 seconds @103 mph
1994-1998 Ninja 500 12.98 seconds @99.0 mph
Top Speed:
1987-1993 EX-500 119 mph
1994-1998 Ninja 500 118 mph
Can anyone verify this from experience? or does anyone know what
changes they made that slowed the bike down from the previous model?
When I first began looking into the EX/Ninja 500 specs a few months ago,
I through what I found into a couple of MS Word 97 files, if anyone
would like a copy e-mailed to them, than e-mail me and I'll mail the
files to you.
Happy riding!
