was bright green and said ninja on the side. had black wheels too, but don't know anymore as i'm not very good with bikes 
thought it would be really quick and pull away from me but it wasn't exactly the fastest thing on earth. driver didn't look very comfortable on it though (was about 18 stone)

I'd hazard a guess at a Kawasaki Ninja 
What plate was it? Or rough age?

Hmmm, sounds like an old shape 600, I was thinking it might be a ZXR400, but that's too new to be one

You sure on that reg?
I can't think of any old bright-green Ninja's with black wheels. You saying it's 'slow' makes me think of the brand-new 250.

Could be anything really. The word 'Ninja' refers so so many different models.. It could be absolutely anything, including a bloody Honda with a 'Ninja' sticker on it.

Thinking about it, it's silly even guessing! Could be absolutely anything... Even a 12R but seeing as that's close to 200mph, I wouldn't class it as 'slow'
Still, a bike is only as fast as you rotate the throttle.
I think even shitty ZZR600's put the word 'Ninja' on them... Sorry mate, far too vague!

A 250 wouldn't be able to keep up with you, and a ZX6R or above would be toying with you at that speed

Put it this way, when I screamed past you that time after that CS meet and I had Luke on the back, you said I was flying, so if it was a 600 he wasn't going for it

I've had some fun duels with bikers. They were probably just playing but they seem quite appreciative of the performance of the car. When they fly off and i'm still not far behind them.
Mutual appreciation. 
Better than the tw*ts in saxo's wanting to race and driving like cocks.

All down to the rider really.. I've nailed a blade on my DRZ400 on off road tyres for gods sake lol! The Blade owner had owned the bike about 2 months and had his license for less than a year so he was proper n00b and just didnt have the confidence to use the bikes breaking and handling capabilities.
