I dont understand why anyone buys this bike...you get a few years old 600cc with the same price as this is. My first bike was Honda CBR 600rr and I did fine, even though I was a beginner. Just take it easy the first miles. This bike is way too expensive for a 250, I would understand much better if this would be real cheap! But it isnt, just add a few more bucks and get a real bike instead of this toy.
yea u right u wouldent no it if it dident say it cuz ask me is it a 650......... mine is the 2010 250r i dont really no the difference be it a great bike and Fast!
a lot of you talking shit honestly probably couldn't even ride the 250 to its full potential. and i know a guy that can, and has out run a gsxr 600 on a ninja 250 on a curvey road. its all about the rider not the bike
@TH3xSHR3DD3R i hate when people say shit like a 600 is too small when i know they couldnt even ride the damn thing in a straight line without getting scared
hey jadepill, nice bike, how big of a difference is there when you change the back tire an front tire? do you see the bike riding better, does it slow down? let me no thanks?
HELLO I AM OF BRAZIL, great, incredible sound of the exhaust, the exhaust TRS has the same development of the TRC, which application, FULL SYSTEM, you can buy a three full system?
why do people come on youtube search ninja 250 exhaust then talk trash about it? Ive riden 600 and ive riden the 08 250, 250 is a fun little bike i think of it as a beefed up dirtbike and i plan on getting the 250 as a frist bike b/c 1. its cheap for a brand spankin new bike, and the innsurance is a little cheaper
after having this bike since July 18th of 2008; I can say that this is the best bike for a beginner by far...yeah I suppose I went overboard with the yoshi slip but I am a girl, I like asthetic and sound beauty...everyone that i ride with knows it is me when riding down the street. i have finally put on front galfer steel brake line and replaced my tires with bridgestone battleax BT090, went from 110 in front to 120 and a 140 rear...let me tell you...HUGE*** difference to change the tires..
@jadedpill I've known so many people including myself that have experience in 600's and 1000's that end up going to a ninja 250, it's a really good bike.
@jadedpill i wanna buy a bike like this now i like it from the vids if i buy it i want to customise it a bit. I wanna put digital gauges wider tires better brakes and exaust from akrapovic ... i like this bike and i belive it is fun to ride :D
dude that bike will do 115 120 it got alot more power then the honda reble...so u shoud shut the bike up kawi did a good job re makeing the ninja 250r the only reson u proble new it was a 250 was cuz it says 250.nice sound.but i think 2 brothers is a lil bit louder and its shoter so wights less so i went with 2bros.but nice..where u live mayb we can get up an go ridin sometime?
ive gotten it to 115ish, but that was on a downhill and happen to look down and i was killing the motor at 13k rpms ha...redline is 12 for anyone who cares...
yoshi is expensive but i like the way it sounds and looks, so shoot me hahah
@jadedpill even though it migh be expensive, when you decide to upgrade you can easily put the stock back on the 250 and put the yoshi on your new bike. Definately NOT a waste of money. You get what you pay for - the best exhaust for a 250cc motorbike.
@jamiebridges123 Stock will never do 120mph but with a few mods it is possible but your pushing the engine past its limits, you could be doing engine damage which is why i don't spend much time at that speed.
barely go on the highway? are you kidding me?...I own a bike, highway no thanks and only when i need to, but ill take back roads anyday and probably beat up on you hahah
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
jealous??? haha, no...i got a bike..06 gsxr 600, the best bike ever(a 750 is good 2)...no highway?? are you scared cuz cars can get up to the speed limit faster than you?? dont talk about back roads until you've been to the track and you wont ever go to a track with that piece of shit 250 unless you wanna get destroyed...have fun on ur lawnmower..
Well if you dont like the bike why are you watching a video on it? and if you are like me in the UK at 17 you can't go on the highway anyway untill you are 2 years in. How about searching for things you like?
spoken like a true squid, go have fun on your gsxr little squiddy, while the OP has fun riding what they ride you can go to your little gixxer meets and talk about how cool your bikes are and how fast they are in a straight line
What are you talking about? Most highway speeds are 60 mph, with some reaching 70 on interstates. That's plenty for a bike like this, and can be attained with little effort. Even pushing the bike you will get upwards of 100+ mph, which is fast enough for a lot of people.
250's are good beginner bikes, and they have excellent fuel economy. Not everyone wants to go 165 mph and act like a moron, jacking up insurance rates for everyone else in the process.
Maybe in America mate. Over here the legal limit is 70mph, and even so 60% of people are going 80mph or more. I find myself cruising at 80-85mph which is just above the vibes on my Z750.
Talking of fuel economy, i can get 60mpg from my bike and it'll only do about 140mph! on top of that, i'm 17 years old and my insurance is only £545, which is about $700 I'd guess, for a year. Guess I am not a moron ? :D :D :D
Well you have to consider what I am saying in response to that troll "Whatsagixer". He probably rides around in a tanktop and flip-flops on weekends, and then hops on youtube to troll videos to show what a badass he is.
Regardless of the circumstances of your post, you have to admit that what I say is true about the bike itself. Even if most people go 80-90, you can still keep up on a 250, even if you might be pushing the engine a bit far.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you can keep up when you get up to speed...dont forget the fact that a 600 will be cruising at highway speeds while a 250 is in 4th gear at 50mph...WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you Fucking kidding? what insurance company are you using cause i fuckin need it. Me (at 17 in the UK) to insure a 250 ninja is £1000. Where'd you get ures from?
@TheReapersSon not only just for begginers . lol i still smoke all my friends on there 600's and 1000's when it comes to the twisties . thats why i would give up my zx6r before my 250r . anyone can ride a big bike fast when going straight .
Pretty much. It's the rider, not the bike. While outright performance will be greater on a larger bike with more displacement, the actual ability of the rider to take advantage of all that power is questionable in most cases.
I ride a 650R, but I still have respect for the new 250R's. The only real downside to the 250R's is the stock suspension, but you can say the same thing about an SV650. Thankfully fork swaps are commonplace, and relatively inexpensive to perform.
sounds badass. this is def one of the better sounding 250s i heard. could you do a vid on that fender cut off you did. you did a great job making it look clean. i'd like to mount my plate there too but afraid ill fuck it up. thanks man
appreciate the props... i just drilled 2 holes into the plastic, just shy of hitting the battery, the only thing that doesn't exactly fit is the plate hits the brake line reservoir but not drastically enough to be annoying
it will run fine if u dont rejet it u only need to rejet it if u go to pull pipe..its not a good but just for a heads up people told me not to rejet with slip on becuase there is a catlict conver in the stock pipe by the V where the 2 comes together.you can burn it up for riching it up.i woold live it stock jetting unless u go full pipe.just a thought so u dont burn it up and need pipe from the heads of the motor to the slip
I changed tire size; 120 in front and 140 rear about 8 months into Riding it.. Made HUGE improvement in riding; bridgestone bt090's
