Well the time is coming I'll be selling my Ninja 250 within the next month or two and I'll be upgrading to my new Bike. But I have to say one of things I'll probably miss about my Ninja 250 is being able to really twist that throttle. Is there anyway to lower the sensitivity of a motorcycle to keep that feeling?

LOL,
Funny you mention that. Several times when I first started riding my brain would go "Oh crap I don't have my seat belt on" then I'd remind myself "There are no seatbelts "

Yes sir, you cannot fit a restricter plate on a new bike. Nope. Not at all.
Then again, why would you?
Yeah- well none of our answers actually make the throttle of his new bike less sensitive... wait... don't buy sissy handgrips!
If we define sensitivity as the increase of power to the wheels, mine are fine. If we define sensitivity as amount the butterfly valves are open, we're both off.

I learned to ride on a Honda Reflex (250cc scooter) -- you had to wring the heck out of the throttle to get it going. My Triumph Bonneville was a huge improvement. My V-Strom is even more sensitive - a deflection of a few millimeters either way produces major differences in engine speed. I'm used to it, and I like it. It taught me to keep my throttle arm and wrist loose and relaxed - otherwise you yank the engine speed around whenever you go over a bump.
