I'm a big fan of Kawasaki's entry-level sport bikes. Often, people who ride a Kawasaki Ninja 250R or 500R will hold on to that bike for their spouse or children, as it provides such a stable and reliable way to enter the sport bike world with minimal investment and maximum enjoyment.
If you've never ridden a Kawasaki Ninja 250R before I recommend that, immediately after reading this review, you get out there with your helmet in your hand and find one to ride! The Kawasaki Ninja 250R's Greatest Shortcoming..
..
The Ninja 250R is limited by virtue of what it was built to be. For those seeking mind-boggling acceleration and near-flight top speeds, the Ninja 250R isn't your bike (neither is the Ninja 500R or even 650R, either). For those seeking a bike that can pop wheelies at will, the Ninja 250R is definitely not your bike.
The "Starter Bike" That Isn't a Starter Bike
If you are still unsure if the Ninja is the motorcycle for you, take one out for a spin! Fun is the number one reason people ride, and this Ninja is an absolute blast.
Bajaj India has launched the much awaited Kawasaki Ninja 250R in Indian market and deliveries are going to start immediately.
Major Announcements Made By Bajaj At The Launch Of Ninja 250R:
- All New Bajaj Pulsar by 2011
- KTM Bikes To Be Launched in the January/February 2010
- Big Bikes From Kawasaki Stable To Fight Yamaha & Suzuki
- Bajaj Pro-Biking showrooms will offer complete three S’s – Sales, Service and Spares
- Ninja 250R spares will be imported directly from Japan and Thailand
Ninja 250R is the best looking 250cc sports bike in its segment. Ninja 250R features a very aggressive look when viewed head-on, as it features dual-lamp headlamp. Step-up seat is another attracting feature of the bike.
Instrument Cluster & Features
The cluster features some warning lights such as low oil, low fuel, choked air filter, high oil temperature and low battery indicators.
Engine & Trasmission
Bajaj has launched the European Spec Kawasaki Ninja 250R in Indian market. Though Ninja is in league of its own and a proper 250cc sports bike - it is not fair to compare it with Karizma ZMR, Pulsar 220 & Yamaha R15.
