Kawasaki Ninja 250R Zero Gravity Double Bubble Comparison
Kawasaki Ninja 250R Zero Gravity Double Bubble Comparison
A direct comparison between the Zero Gravity Double Bubble (left) and the stock (right) windscreens on a Ninja 250 (photo courtesy of Zero Gravity Racing).
The Zero Gravity Double Bubble windscreen offers better protection than the stock. The Duke and Mike windscreens are a bit too much like the clear “barn door” style I have seen on most cruisers for my tastes. I have no doubt that the Duke and Mike windscreens would provide very good wind protection, likely better than the Zero Gravity Double Bubble and vastly superior to the stock windscreen. The Double Bubble does provide a nice air capsule but not a “Wing” or “Connie” sized capsule.
The top of the "air capsule" seems to hit about the shoulders/upper chest at highway speeds on my 5' 10" frame. It is comfortable to me but then I am an avid road cyclist and during cycling season I ride a road bicycle about 15 to 25 miles a day, much of that in a tuck. I do not have an aversion to tucking on the Ninjette because that position is not alien to me. I tend to do a partial tuck at or close to 70 MPH to give the bike as little frontal area as possible in order to help fuel mileage.
The Zero Gravity Double Bubble offers me what I feel is a good compromise. I can tuck to increase fuel mileage and effectively punch though the stiff Texas winds. Additionally, I can also sit in a more upright and relaxed position and have enough wind protection that I do not feel as if I am going to be blown off the motorcycle. The Zero Gravity Double Bubble smoothes the air flow around the rider but still allows you to feel as if you are on a sport bike.
