Pros: Reliability, economy, bang for your buck, resale value Cons: Front nose dive under braking, sounds so tame!
This is my second motorcycle. I had bought a heavier, faster, louder motorcycle a few years ago and it met an untimely demise on account of my inexperience. Two years later I had the desire and the funds to get back into motorcycling, this time ...
Pros: Great price, excellent agility and brakes, smooth engine, the best buy in entry-level bikes-period. Cons: Comical suspension damping, seat is painful after 100-150 miles, realizing not all bikes are this much fun to ride
“You’ve been a bad, bad bike haven’t you? Well, what do you think we should do about that? Heh heh. Heh-umm…”
Oh. Hi there. Sorry about that, umm. Okay, look-I might not have all the french fries in my Happy Meal but I don’t spank motorcycles....
Pros: Great handling, light weight, lots of power for the size, great on gas Cons: It is a 250... 2 up is a little bogged down
I got this bike as a temporary beginner bike, but I can tell you now that it is going to be very hard to give this one up. This bike is an absolute blast to ride, and I know if I were to keep it the thrill would never go away.
Pros: cute, fun, and inexpensive Cons: engine too small for any real power
I bought this bike in my final year of college. Student parking on campus was too expensive for my Ramen Noodle budget, yet I noticed motorcycle lots alongside every building where students could park their bikes for free. Cha-ching! In doing a...
Pros: Light, Inexpensive, Nimble, Quick, Great Mileage. Cons: Bodywork could be expensive if crashed.
It is often said that the 250 Ninja is too small. It's
too small to commute on, too small to tour on, too small
to carry much, too slow, too everything people are missing
when they write off a light and nimble motorcycle.
Pros: Good for learning to ride, great handling Cons: No power whatsoever
If you want to teach your kid how to ride, and don't want them getting into trouble, then the Ninja 250R might be a good way to go. Let's face it, I know I drove Mom's car like a moron when I was 15 and she wasn't around, and I know I don't want MY kid...
Pros: easy to ride, responsive, light weight Cons: none
Back in the eighties, before I strapped my short legs to my VMax I learned how to handle a bike by riding a 250 Ninja. This particular bike belonged to a friend who had many after market adjustments done to it. Needless to say I had a blast.
Pros: Good styling. Nimble and manueverable. Adequate power. Cons: Wind buffets such a light bike. Gotta work the engine to get 100 mph.
This is a review of the CANADIAN Kawasaki Ninja 250R. Although I purchased a 2001 burgundy red model, the only differences between 2000-2003 are colors offered. There have bee NO other changes to the bike during this time. First off, I would like to ...
Pros: Reliability, Handling, Accel. Cons: LOW top end.
I can't praise this bike enough. I purchased my 1998 EX250R, with the hopes of low-maintainance, and my expectations were met, and then some. It was my first bike, and I had a great experience with it. Reliability, Reliability, Reliability. I can't say...
Pros: Light, fast, cheap. Easily to learn on. Upgradable and very fast in the twisties. More HP per cc than most bikes around. Cons: Riders of 600cc or larger bikes won't consider it a "real" motorcycle.
The Kawasaki Ninja 250R, or EX250, is the smallest in Kawi's rather large line of sportbikes, both in weight and displacement. First released as the E in 1986, then the F after a redesign in '88, it has remained largely unchanged to this day.
Pros: cheap, predictable, full fairing. Cons: cheap, cold natured, cheap
My girlfriend was bitten by the motorcycle bug big time. No longer was she content with the "2-up" scene. i was a little concerned with her riding,(I know, double standard) and wanted her to get something predictable. We looked through the...
Pros: Light, smaller engine but still very fun to ride Cons: Carburetted engine may be difficult to start in cold weather
My bike is a 1993 model. From a test ride of the new ones, there isn't much difference in the ride. As someone who just learned how to ride I was really looking for a good mix between a bike I could safely handle, performance and of course, looks. ...
Pros: Cheap, fast, reliable Cons: Those who know it's a 250 will make fun of you
For some reason, Kawasaki has decided to humiliate those of us who bought the 1999 Ninja 250R by putting nothing but women on it in the promo shots. I love this motorcycle... it can easily keep up (on the street, not the track) with my friend's Suzuki...
Pros: Great little engine, good looks, good brakes, the only 250 that actually performs. Cons: Too-soft front suspension, new price is too high for a 250
This bike is a hell of a lot of fun. You will quickly get used to the fact that you have to rev it well above 7000 RPM to get any power. However, that's the only way you can get expressway-grade power out of a 250. The bike is reliable, and good ...
Power Wheels Kawasaki KFX Ninja Power Wheels is hitting the road with its Kawasaki KFX Ninja 4-wheeler. Designed to look like the real thing, with big, rugged tires, realistic ATV st...
