Soon as I get it registered ill go ride around and tell you how fun it was [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] RD is pretty close but im thinking they weigh less?, no cat convertor and are short some HP. The RD takes 5.0 flat to get to 60 in the only review ive ever read, but the one in the review seemed to be down about 10hp less that normal for some reason. The RZ has around 60 hp, the RD had around 40 (50 on the pipe). Both can become fast as heck with porting and both would be suicide with a turbo (around 150-160hp weighing less than 300lbs). They both look cool though, but if you saw an RD going down the road you would think it was a minature cruiser and you would think the RZ was a Ninja 250 with some body work.
