It's very freeway capable with a top end of around 120mph and just a tad lower mpg than the GZ. This one has an aftermarket exhaust and a jetted carb, so it'll probably only look at mid-50s for mileage.

After just a few minutes riding it, I can tell it's a lot "torque'ier" on the low end than the GZ, but doesn't have as much in mid-range powerband than my GZ. Overall, if I'm going to be riding to the store and back to pick stuff up, I'll take the GZ. It (the GZ) is easier to carry stuff on (bags/net etc) and has (believe it or not) about 6x the space under the seat than the Ninja.

Also...here's an added bonus. I didn't originally like this on it, but after being around it more and more, it's starting to grow on me.
