ZXR250's weren't designed with lean angles in mind.
I always thought they had reasonably good ground clearance??? Maybe yours is a little saggy or sumfink????
But hey 1'29"s is none too shabby on a 2 fiddie!
Mallala 1'14" on an standard FZR600 in 1994.

Nah it's not saggy, only done 6900km from new and preload front and rear is at the limits. I'm 80kg though, and easily 85+ when I'm geared up, no doubt a little more than the suspension was designed for.
They do have relatively good clearance, but will still scrape at turns 2, 3 and 7 where you need lots of lean, and my tyres can be ridden all the way to the edge with lots of grip in reserve, and with lots of confidence in the tyres, it's easy to get the bike cranked over too far and have things hit the ground. I'm working on it though, only been to 2 track days so I'm still a n00b.

Aussie ninja and 7thsin you must both ride 250's is that right
cause i looked at the 10R today and if i scraped the peg i'd be rubbing the belly i would be guessing
i'd be more impressed if you could rub the bar end without dropping it
hehehehehehehhe
