inferior??? I would like to see you take a corner at 90 with a knee down on that 250. I ride a gixxer 1000 and I would leave that little 250 in the twisties any day
This may be true over there, but here in the USA everyone finds themselves wanting more after a while. Glad my first bike is the 650 it still satisfies my needs :)
M13 im gunna get one of these as my second bike (I will be restricted to 33bhp here in england) Do you recommend I break it in first or just redline and have fun straight away?
@Kjetilaf While you're at it then look one up for a derestriced 250r :P
Also, the new ninja's have 2hp less than the previous models, but because they're upgraded how the engine works, they are still wildly faster than the old models. Horsepower isn't everything :3
@DismalDude straightline speed in the city is useless, too much going on around you especially in taiwan and that, no one gives a shit about motorcyclists on the road as it is, like earlier in the video, the woman running the red light, if your speeding like crazy and she pulls infront of you, say your prayers.
Straightline speed is a yawn anyway, corners is where the adreniline pumps :3
so... do you recommend this bike to a complete noob with zero experience? :-) ill probably pay for driving lessons on a 125cc but i would use this one everyday. Is there much difference in handling a 125 compared to a 250?
i love the ninja 250 and dont own one yet. one of the things i liked about this vlog is that the first superior bike that come to you mind was the gsxr, again another bike that i love...
the bigger they are the harder it is to weave thru traffic. Hayabusa yes is the most fastest bike but only on highway while in city roads they can't achieve the top speed. So you are right, smaller bikes are in a sense better than a bigger bike if ur comparing on a city road. A 150-250cc should be good on those roads, still good in pickup on slow moving traffic and good in cornering
My first bike was a 250cc and its great to learn on but stateside they are really terrible. I live in Georgia and the only way to get around is the highway and on something that has maybe a top speed of 80 mph it really does not help.
That's just fucked why do so many people run red lights in Taiwan? I know you've gone on about this many times before it's only just hit me how totally stupid those people are. You can just make out the look on that woman's face its just so casual.
Finally did it, got my A3 license, i practiced on a VF400. Four weeks ago was the first time i ever got on a big bike, did a few laps of a parking area, tried to do an uphill take off while cornering to the left and i fell like a brick(ask me how i skinned both my knees :D ). Proved M13's point tho, caus i was considering getting a '99 CBR 600f. Point is, yes now i can ride any bike i want but i'm only a mediocre rider on a tuned down practice 400 - am i going to improve on a 600 racebike ? :D
youre not supposed to rev your engine before you shut it off. It fills the cylinders with raw fuel that is unburnt because you shut it off. the fuel then washes the oil off your cylinders and the next time you start your bike, theres less oil on your cylinders which leads to more engine wear.
i hate stupid bitch drivers...i mean all respect to women not to be disrespectful its these dumb bimbos who r probably gonna be the death of a lotta ryderz
busas are tanks of course it will out corner it. busa, read drag bike. They are not a race replica type bike. I wouldnt say it handles better than any other bike I would say its more flickable. Ride a busa at 120 mph then ride that bike at 120 mph tell me which one handles that scenario better :) but I know exactly what your saying no need to explain you mean corners better, well by that same theory a 10 speed out corners a 250r but which would you rather ride?
@TheARMAProductions That's one thing I'm worried about. I'm doing my motorcycle training at the moment on a Honda CG125, and I went on a dual carriageway and hit about 65mph (in fairly strong winds and rain), and I was fighting just to stay in my lane. At points it felt like I was going to take off. It was bloody terrifying (but strangely great fun too.) I will be travelling from Exeter to Newcastle a lot on the motorways after I get my licence and bike, and I'd rather not experience that again.
@Harmonyww i can relate! though i didn't have the rain like you did, i did face fairly strong wind (well, it certainly felt like a strong wind since it was my first time on a bike on the open road) and it was a bit unsettling.
going for another run tomorrow on the VanVan and the forecast apparently is for rain. very very nervous! i hope there won't be much traffic out since it's Sunday.
@Agnelum1 How did it go? We've had heavy rain here almost all day. It's not the kind of weather I'd want to be riding in, especially on a dual carriageway!
@Harmonyww had a blast, mate!! it was really really good. the rain did come down but not in buckets like i'd thought. and it wasn't continuous; it would rain, bit of sun (and get really muggy so i was glad i didn't have the hoodie on under the leathers!), then get overcast and look like it'll be bad again, shower, clear up... etc the whole day.
but the ride was good, not too heavy traffic-wise.
The Ninja 250 is actually quite expensive (at least here in the UK.) I'm probably getting an SV650S for my first bike, as I can get it restricted and it costs around £1000 less than a Ninja 250.
@Harmonyww forgot to co-sign this comment too... the ninja is quite expensive here (brand new) and i don't know about the re-sale value... but it was cheaper for me to get a bandit 650 (2009) with 197 miles on it (practically mint condition) or even a gsx650f with 4000 miles on it, than to get a ninja250.
living on a rock in hawaii. top speed of 200mph gets you nowhere. haha. ninja 250 is great when riding in the back roads where there are tight turns and barely any traffic passing by. =]
I am planing on a 2009 250cc Ninja. I have to say its a great bike. I have also had past experience on a smaller bike 200cc Kawasaki dirt bike and I had a blast with it (I rode this bike for about a year I believe). Since I learned with a smaller one. I was able to jump on my friends 250 ninja and just take off with out a problem in the world and it is true its a cool bike.
Haha, Busa's are garbage, they'll go fast in a straight line, but not much else. A very experienced rider on a ZX-10R is much more impressive! :) I want a ninja 250 so bad :D
yea well, some people complain .. that they are too big for the bike.
well, buy a 600 ccm bike .. block it on 25 kW.(dunno 30hp or something) and that's it .. and when you think you're ready (after probaly 2 years of experience) you unblock it, and go easy in the beggining and then you find yourself pushing it to the limit and having fun .. that's all about riding a motorbike ;)
Dude this is a good bike ok and im gonne probably buy one ... but ... a ducati 848 evo for example is way better and its not just about power bro you know that...
"the more you spend on a motorcycle the worst is corners"?? what?? ok some of the stuff you said ill agree but some of the stuff you said is just nonsense......... I have 929 and it corners like a muther fucker ill smoke that 250 in any corner.....oh by the way i use to own the bike your riding in the video so i know what im talking about ......
i live in the suburbs where i'm not forced to drive by weaving in and out of traffic every two seconds. The roads are longer. This explains why i'd want a more powerful bike yes? and not care about handeling as much. Ninja in the city would be great. But don't call people dumb for getting fast bikes. It's a different sub culture bro. Why would anyone buy a touring bike if they used it too commute in the city? makes no sense. Different roads create different bikes.

im currently 15 and will be getting my permit in a couple months i am about 6 foot and way bout 200 should i get a 250 or a 600 no matter what its goin to be a ninja
@loserman2014 If you don't have any dirtbike experience then a 250. If you do get a 500 or 650. A 600 is a different animal. It is basically a race bike with turn signals and license plate bracket.
I'm 6'4" and 246lbs. I'm thinkin about getting the ninja 250 but not sure if it will handle the highway very well for my size. I do a lot of highway riding and need somethin that will allow meto keep up and pass cars easly..I've been told to get the ninja 650.. wat do u think?
So you complain about some idiot turning from your lane...Look at YOU...cross over a double yellow and in and out of traffic.....THE reason people hate bikes.
You're a brave man, M13. I went to Taiwan to visit some family a month back. People there drive like mad men! It's scary as hell, it's like there are no rules. I can't imagine driving a car there, let alone a motorcycle.
Anyways, I'm looking to buy my first bike, a 250r. Preferably a 08 model. Do you recommend to buy used or new?
I've been considering a 250 for my first bike, since they're $4,000 brand new here, but some people at work have told me to skip ahead to the 650 because of my size. I'm 6'3 and 240lbs, and several coworkers have told me that I should be able to handle it, while others have told me I'd be too big for the 250.
"good" that i live in germany and we have to restrict the bike to 25kw for 2 years after we get our drivers license so i can start a 600 cc with no problems...i hope ;D
i dont see anything wrong with the bike. the fuel economy is excellent. its pretty stylish compared to the past ones. its just as fun as any other bike. i mean how often are you gonna go over a hundred unless your just messin around just to see what it can do? its the best bang for buck especially if you're a beginner in my opinion.
@sk8er8920 nothing wrong with the bike at all except for the lack of aftermarket parts & lack of power.. Me personally would go with a zx-6r if i could do it all over again.. just so i have the power when i need it and i always would have a bigger market to choose from when buyin parts.. instead my dumb ass started out with a 94 katana 1100 gsx-f...
I love smaller, great handling bikes. Here in America so many new riders want to get a 1000cc bike like their buddies so they can be 'cool'. They are inexperienced as well as on a bike that they can't control in corners just straight lines...Squids. In that split second between life and death they don't know what to do and wind up road kill.
I agree with the fun 'flickable' aspect of smaller CC bikes. Here in America young riders are so hell bent on getting 1000cc bikes that there's a much smaller market for them. Darn squids. I love my old '75 RD350 2 stroke for power and handling.
What would be the recommended minimum height to be able to operate this bike safely? I'm contemplating on whether or not getting one. But my decision is pretty much based entirely on my height. Im 5'3" (63"). I'm fairly certain that's too short to drive one, but can anyone reinforce that? Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
lol "if you buy 600cc or 1000cc bike you cant use that power" wtf are you talking about? i bought my first bike gsxr 750 3 weeks ago and i already want bigger one.
and there is no way ur 250 can win even 1000cc bike in track.
LOL @ beginning.. "Its a woman!" .. that fucking bitch deserves to lose her license and car. You shoulda grabbed a shot of her license plate and reported her to teh police. DUmb bitch shouldnt b driving.. That sure dont look like a kitchen to me..
It does not look like you need more that a moped on those streets. That 250 is crazy fast for that, but at least it could help you get out of the way of a person running a red light in the oncoming lane.
@MeDmAnQcA Actually noob is a begginer gamer and yes newb is short for newbie which is a begginer at something like riding a motorbike, get it right geez.
I started with Honda Varadero 125CC, it's more expensive than any other 125cc bike as far I know but it's also the largest and heaviest with nearly 170kg. I found it an excellent starter bike since it's sort of a big small bike. When I went to ride a BMW GS650 where I got my license the only difference was obvious placements and generally more power. The size of bike was almost the same.
i dunno how the law is in other countrys but inj germany you have to ride bikes with 34 HP for the first 2 years after you got your license so you have to restrict your bike to that power, so you can go 600 cc for your first bik and get used to it and you can unrestrict it afterwards and have morepower. the ninja 250 r has the exact power that's allowed in germany so you don't have to restrict it, -> perfect bike for beginners that want instant fun! unfortuntley i don't have any money xD
You're right about the fun factor. I decided to trade in a 125 on a bigger bike so before taking it in, I decided to really run the hell out of the 125. Turns out it was so much fun to wind it out and corner, that after buying the bigger bike, I BOUGHT BACK my 125. It is still my favorite bike...light and manueverable.
you talk about driving if you were in america you would be arrested or killed for your driving. Darting in between cars and passing on double lanes. What the hell. You act like anything above your noob 250 suxs. That why pro's us 1liter and above. you have a point but take it out of context with to many opinions
@youfan2222 Firstly this isn't his bike. Secondly all the pros learned on bikes which were either 250cc or smaller because they are far better suited for developing the skills to handle a bigger bike, and that's the point he's making. Any idiot can go to the store and buy a 600 or a litre bike for their first bike, but good luck trying to beat someone around a corner who's riding a 150 2-stroke.
inferior??? I would like to see you take a corner at 90 with a knee down on that 250. I ride a gixxer 1000 and I would leave that little 250 in the twisties any day

The 2011 250r weighs 152kg and has 23.5hp max. The power to weight ratio is quite mean really, plus some mods you can bump up the hp a lot.
It needs a bit more torque than what it's got really and the gear ratio's are silly.
But yeah, so easy to ride, gives you a lot of control compared to bigger bikes.
It is a fun bike.

Haha, Busa's are garbage, they'll go fast in a straight line, but not much else. A very experienced rider on a ZX-10R is much more impressive! :) I want a ninja 250 so bad :D

yea well, some people complain .. that they are too big for the bike.
well, buy a 600 ccm bike .. block it on 25 kW.(dunno 30hp or something) and that's it .. and when you think you're ready (after probaly 2 years of experience) you unblock it, and go easy in the beggining and then you find yourself pushing it to the limit and having fun .. that's all about riding a motorbike ;)

i live in the suburbs where i'm not forced to drive by weaving in and out of traffic every two seconds. The roads are longer. This explains why i'd want a more powerful bike yes? and not care about handeling as much. Ninja in the city would be great. But don't call people dumb for getting fast bikes. It's a different sub culture bro. Why would anyone buy a touring bike if they used it too commute in the city? makes no sense. Different roads create different bikes.

@loserman2014 If you don't have any dirtbike experience then a 250. If you do get a 500 or 650. A 600 is a different animal. It is basically a race bike with turn signals and license plate bracket.

You're a brave man, M13. I went to Taiwan to visit some family a month back. People there drive like mad men! It's scary as hell, it's like there are no rules. I can't imagine driving a car there, let alone a motorcycle.
Anyways, I'm looking to buy my first bike, a 250r. Preferably a 08 model. Do you recommend to buy used or new?

I've been considering a 250 for my first bike, since they're $4,000 brand new here, but some people at work have told me to skip ahead to the 650 because of my size. I'm 6'3 and 240lbs, and several coworkers have told me that I should be able to handle it, while others have told me I'd be too big for the 250.

i dont see anything wrong with the bike. the fuel economy is excellent. its pretty stylish compared to the past ones. its just as fun as any other bike. i mean how often are you gonna go over a hundred unless your just messin around just to see what it can do? its the best bang for buck especially if you're a beginner in my opinion.
sk8er8920 8 months ago 32
@sk8er8920 nothing wrong with the bike at all except for the lack of aftermarket parts & lack of power.. Me personally would go with a zx-6r if i could do it all over again.. just so i have the power when i need it and i always would have a bigger market to choose from when buyin parts.. instead my dumb ass started out with a 94 katana 1100 gsx-f...

I love smaller, great handling bikes. Here in America so many new riders want to get a 1000cc bike like their buddies so they can be 'cool'. They are inexperienced as well as on a bike that they can't control in corners just straight lines...Squids. In that split second between life and death they don't know what to do and wind up road kill.
Quipstiley 8 months ago
I agree with the fun 'flickable' aspect of smaller CC bikes. Here in America young riders are so hell bent on getting 1000cc bikes that there's a much smaller market for them. Darn squids. I love my old '75 RD350 2 stroke for power and handling.

What would be the recommended minimum height to be able to operate this bike safely? I'm contemplating on whether or not getting one. But my decision is pretty much based entirely on my height. Im 5'3" (63"). I'm fairly certain that's too short to drive one, but can anyone reinforce that? Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

It does not look like you need more that a moped on those streets. That 250 is crazy fast for that, but at least it could help you get out of the way of a person running a red light in the oncoming lane.

I started with Honda Varadero 125CC, it's more expensive than any other 125cc bike as far I know but it's also the largest and heaviest with nearly 170kg. I found it an excellent starter bike since it's sort of a big small bike. When I went to ride a BMW GS650 where I got my license the only difference was obvious placements and generally more power. The size of bike was almost the same.

hitman748 9 months ago
i dunno how the law is in other countrys but inj germany you have to ride bikes with 34 HP for the first 2 years after you got your license so you have to restrict your bike to that power, so you can go 600 cc for your first bik and get used to it and you can unrestrict it afterwards and have morepower. the ninja 250 r has the exact power that's allowed in germany so you don't have to restrict it, -> perfect bike for beginners that want instant fun! unfortuntley i don't have any money xD
FraeschD 9 months ago
You're right about the fun factor. I decided to trade in a 125 on a bigger bike so before taking it in, I decided to really run the hell out of the 125. Turns out it was so much fun to wind it out and corner, that after buying the bigger bike, I BOUGHT BACK my 125. It is still my favorite bike...light and manueverable.

@youfan2222 Firstly this isn't his bike. Secondly all the pros learned on bikes which were either 250cc or smaller because they are far better suited for developing the skills to handle a bigger bike, and that's the point he's making. Any idiot can go to the store and buy a 600 or a litre bike for their first bike, but good luck trying to beat someone around a corner who's riding a 150 2-stroke.
