Paid $4,100 for mine with 516 miles and over $1500 of accessories jet kit,pipe ect..was a demo bike but hasn't givin me any problems it's the love of my life p's. Girlfriend gets really jealous of it lol
@nipkonx crazy thing is that it'll be worth $3000 2 years from now when you're ready for a 650R or ZX6. Dealerships love getting used Ninja 250's and will give you fair market value instead of ripping you off.
its a bit smaller but to be honest there isnt much of a difference..im soon getting the 250r so i went to a dealer the other day to check them out and they had a 250 and a 650 a few feet away from each other.
i had been looking at the 650 for about 30 secs before i noticed it wasnt the 250 hahaha!!
@Supracharged66 Theres not much of a difference, I have a Ninja 250R and it looks great, when i went into the dealership and purchased the Ninja 250R the ZX-6R was sitting right beside it and you could hardly tell a difference in height / length at all.
@cwhitti1 If you had read my previous comment clearly, you would have noticed that I said that "I went into the dealership and purchased the Ninja 250R and the ZX-6R was sitting right beside it and you could hardly tell a difference in height or length, other than the back tyre difference (which I might point out isn't as thin as you think) you might as well be saying that the ZX-6R is small too? Yet the ZX-6R is no smaller than any other 600 sportsbike around. Talk sense!
nice bike, should of made one for a more sport feel with further handlebars, thicker tire and frame, just for riders who want the look of a zx6r or an R6.
this bike was decent when i rode it. It was fun and had good acceleration. 1st gear is kind of slow though... unless you take it to 12k rpms your shifting right away when turning in intersections
I just got a custom 89 zx6 doesnt even look like an 89...but the first gear is so tricky and hard...i throtteld a little bit and I almost flew but i had breaks lol...should I keep it and learn or trade for 250?
I am just learning to ride and I love this bike. It's all about the ride, the comfort and the feeling of freedom is what experienced serious riders have told me. As I progress, I will probably want more cc's but for now it's great - and if this biked sucked, there wouldn't be so many of them in the professional racing world. Totally glad I bought it.
Actually, I'm looking to get one of these, I've heard it's pretty much perfect for beginers in every aspect except tires, I heard the stock tires aren't that good and that I should change them as soon as I can, can you say if that's really true or not from what you've experienced?
How come everything small cheap and fun Is automatically considered to be for beginners and very young people? In cubic fixated Sweden that´s the case and now I notice also In us
man if you were actually serious.... you'd need to go to a mental hospital or something! i just watched a video of a hayabusa that maxed out at 400 km/h!!!! it was insane! it went so fast that the front end picked up.
well it really depends on alot of things.. your weight, how u rode that 250 , speed, and especially how much balls u got. lol i fround it really easy switching from 125-650 all is basically the same ecxcept the 650 is heavier, faster and more agile, but it differs from person to person i suppose i already knew how a bigger bike felt cuz i learned to ride on my dads 800. but you will get used to the 650 way faster than u did the 250 because u already know the basics.. gl and drive safe :)
they say(people with them) that ninja 250 is coll, but is you are a big person, your conduction can be a bit dificult, because of the driving position...but my advice is, you go to a kawasaki stand, and sit in one, and see... it is better for you ;)
i REALLY NEED ADVICE PEOPLE...ok im planning on buying this bike in the spring of 09...but! i am 5' 10" and 180 ibs. perfect size for a beginner bike...my bro on the other hand is 5'10" 250 ibs. do u think this bike would be ideal for the both of us? were both beginners only taken the motorcycle class offered where i live that teaches u the basics but other than that new to this. FEEDBACK would be awesome! appreiate it!!
I am 6'0 225 lbs. and its my first bike, i've had it about four months and it is a great learner bike and commuter i average about 55 mpg at 2500 miles the only downside is power but if i bought a bigger bike first i'm sure i would have had layed it down already. This ninja has really helped me learn to ride with keeping both wheels on the ground i highly recomend as long as you can afford to upgrade in a year or so i plan on getting an 04^ gsxr600 in dec. its a bike best in the turns!
hyosung does have a lot of power, i agree with that, but haven't rid a kx road bike/sports bike, just rid the dirt ones so couldn't compare them. My uncles got the hyosung 250 an 650 naked bike. Rids so smooth and is built of power.
hyosung gt250r is a nice beginer bike and a little cheaper than the kawasaki ninja,id take the ninja, better made, handles better, i rode both bikes it felt like the hyosung had more power.
Ive heard that bike is built like crap. Its supposed to be a good bike, but its not durable and begins to break down after a year, things that the Ninja wont do, like body rusting.
and your best bet is probably to check out a dealer, that or maybe get the 500 to learn on instead, Its a bit bigger of a bike, not as sexy as the 250 though. Maybe even the 650 if the 500 dosn't work.
I am also 6ft4ins and i owned an FZR250R for a good many years when i was starting out. it was a bit of a squeeze but what a fine handling bike. Fact is it looked tiny on me but hey - so does a 750 anyway. i am not so sure about the new Kwak 250 but it may not be so bad, just after a few years i guess you will be craving more power. However while owning my 250 i had gone round the outside of 748's and used to keep up in the twisties with the bigger bikes fine Back in the day. what about 400cc?
im 17, 5-11 and 195, so should i get this bike? i plan on lifting weights more and getting up 2 220 in the next couple of years so i think this would be a good begginner bike and in a couple of years i will upgrade 2 a 5 or 600.
i kno im big enough but this will be my first bike. so i was wonderin if i should learn 2 control and ride with a smaller bike or just head 2 a 500 like you said.
"At 5-foot-1, the new 30.5-inch seat height had me on my tippy-toes, but the bike is so light (reported 333 lbs. dry, up nearly 30 lbs) this was hardly a concern. The narrow seat certainly helps those of us who belong to the inseam-challenged group or the new rider who feels most comfortable with both feet down." - Review from Motorcycle (dot) com.
hi all, dont know much about bikes, im going for my exam soon cant wait, the thing is im 6'4 245lbs and wanted to know if im to tall for this bike, any bike acually, what would be a good started for a tall mofo?
yea sadly yes this is a great beginner bike but im 6'0 175 and it felt ....mmhhee...u should prob look into a 500 maybe 600 if u dont like the look of 500 but be careful 250 to 600 is a huge diff and u will prob get really hurt
I've had a 2006 ninja 250 for 2 weeks now. I'm bored with the power, but I'm also 200lbs and 6'1". As far as cornering and clutch control... best bike I've ever ridden. I highly recommend it. Use it for 2-3 months, then move on to the big boys.
I was thinking...The benefits of owning this bike are greater than the benefits of owning a 600 or 1000. It's not that I don't like bigger bikes, and yes I do plan own owning one someday, but I'm pretty pleased with my 2008 250. Bigger Bikes are nice, im not bashing them, lets get the cleared up. If anyone has any input please comment.
im selling my 08 250r i live in michigan if anyone is interested let me know mail me add my on myspace the bike has under 1000 miles on it right now and looking to sell it fast make offer
I drive a ninja zx 1000 cc but I started on the Ninja 250 a year 2003. The new Ninja 250 is a totally new bike, everything on it is better. Excellent bike for the moola! Click on my name for helmet cam vids guys..I ride a ninja also.
The acceleration of the Ninja 250r is not bad at all. 0-100km/hr in 5.75sec and 170km/hr top speed!! That was for the old model. I hope the new one is even better. Keep up the good work KAWASAKI.
0-60 in about 5 sec,and 1/4 mile in 14 sec.. .So about as fast as a new Mustang.. So NO its not slow.. just not as fast as some. Plus it only weighs 330 lbs, so in the twisties it will often EAT the bigger bikes.
i guess the number one selling bike for kawasaki makes everyone who bought one a fag... stupid people shouldn't be aloud to comment on things. go kill yourself
I'm only 13 and I can't wait untill I get enough for a Kawasaki Ninja 250R but by the time I'll be able to get one I'm sure the price would have lowered, then also it might be preety bad comparied to the 2015 Kawasakis. Dammm beter think of another way of inpresing the ladies, Haha.
Ohhhh, Haha! Sorry I couldn't understand what your where trying to say, so I just assuemed You were taking the piss out of me :/ my bad, Oh and no need for sugery ;)
only a couple of dealers in my area (central Illinois) are willing to let these go for a small profit. $3650 was best price i was quoted, but unable to get one for me. couple dealers at $3850 and im waiting for a blue one from one of these. my local dealer (Bloomington)has a blue one but i'm not going to give him 4200. i can wait for awhile. place in peoria wants 4300 and isnt dealing. i understand they want all the profit they can get BUT these two places will never see me again!
Bear in mind that the price difference between the euro/US versions is because the euro versions are fuel injected, and the US versions are carburated. US version is retailing for around $3499+
For a beginner get a used 250 they are cheap now. Don't pay more than $2000 unless it has less than 1000 miles on it though. I picked one up with 4300 miles for $1300! Average buy would be $1900 for one. The new ones are nice but don't have a temp gauge anymore and repairs on the fairing are ungodly expensive since they are new. Get a year in or at least 1000 miles with a used 250 and decide whether you want a new one or a bigger bike.
The fuel efficiency can range from 55-70 mpg, depending on your most frequented RPMs. The bike uses 93+ octane, which is the premiuim fuel. The tank holds 4.8 gallons, so a fill up will probably cost around 16-18 dollars, depending on the price of gas in your area.
the bike doesn't use "93+ octane" lol I have had one for years your can put the lower grade in which is 87 I get in the 60s gas mileage city riding you have to really keep your speed down around 65mph in thehighway to get over 70mpg but it's possible. Most gas stations have 87, 89 and 93 octane gas. Some have 92 instead of 93, and some have 94 in addition to 93. Just run the cheapest stuff because the bike runs the same and gets the same gas mileage either way.
i finally got to sit on a 2008! Its awesome! I love it.
My 2006 is still running strong, and maintaining it is super cheap. I made a video of how to change the oil in my profile. So if you have one, change the oil yourself and save some cash.
Paid $4,100 for mine with 516 miles and over $1500 of accessories jet kit,pipe ect..was a demo bike but hasn't givin me any problems it's the love of my life p's. Girlfriend gets really jealous of it lol

id say if u've had any experience with bikes/dirtbikes ud be fine with a 600 but 600s are meant for the track so respect the throttle response.

i kno im big enough but this will be my first bike. so i was wonderin if i should learn 2 control and ride with a smaller bike or just head 2 a 500 like you said.
scginda803 3 years ago
If this is your first bike then you shouldn't buy one more than 250cc. My opinion of course. A 500 might be too powerful for you.

"At 5-foot-1, the new 30.5-inch seat height had me on my tippy-toes, but the bike is so light (reported 333 lbs. dry, up nearly 30 lbs) this was hardly a concern. The narrow seat certainly helps those of us who belong to the inseam-challenged group or the new rider who feels most comfortable with both feet down." - Review from Motorcycle (dot) com.

joemac28 3 years ago

I've had a 2006 ninja 250 for 2 weeks now. I'm bored with the power, but I'm also 200lbs and 6'1". As far as cornering and clutch control... best bike I've ever ridden. I highly recommend it. Use it for 2-3 months, then move on to the big boys.
lifeisgood070 3 years ago
I was thinking...The benefits of owning this bike are greater than the benefits of owning a 600 or 1000. It's not that I don't like bigger bikes, and yes I do plan own owning one someday, but I'm pretty pleased with my 2008 250. Bigger Bikes are nice, im not bashing them, lets get the cleared up. If anyone has any input please comment.

U CANT FIND HARDLY 1 VIDEO OF A 250 RACING!!! which makes me think their acceleration is worse than a car
DSNCB919 3 years ago
no the acceleration is not worse than a car they dont have a high top speed but they get up and go pretty good
remz88kr 3 years ago
The acceleration of the Ninja 250r is not bad at all. 0-100km/hr in 5.75sec and 170km/hr top speed!! That was for the old model. I hope the new one is even better. Keep up the good work KAWASAKI.
arryanpath 3 years ago
0-60 in about 5 sec,and 1/4 mile in 14 sec.. .So about as fast as a new Mustang.. So NO its not slow.. just not as fast as some. Plus it only weighs 330 lbs, so in the twisties it will often EAT the bigger bikes.

I'm only 13 and I can't wait untill I get enough for a Kawasaki Ninja 250R but by the time I'll be able to get one I'm sure the price would have lowered, then also it might be preety bad comparied to the 2015 Kawasakis. Dammm beter think of another way of inpresing the ladies, Haha.

only a couple of dealers in my area (central Illinois) are willing to let these go for a small profit. $3650 was best price i was quoted, but unable to get one for me. couple dealers at $3850 and im waiting for a blue one from one of these. my local dealer (Bloomington)has a blue one but i'm not going to give him 4200. i can wait for awhile. place in peoria wants 4300 and isnt dealing. i understand they want all the profit they can get BUT these two places will never see me again!

Bear in mind that the price difference between the euro/US versions is because the euro versions are fuel injected, and the US versions are carburated. US version is retailing for around $3499+

For a beginner get a used 250 they are cheap now. Don't pay more than $2000 unless it has less than 1000 miles on it though. I picked one up with 4300 miles for $1300! Average buy would be $1900 for one. The new ones are nice but don't have a temp gauge anymore and repairs on the fairing are ungodly expensive since they are new. Get a year in or at least 1000 miles with a used 250 and decide whether you want a new one or a bigger bike.

how the fuel efficiency on the bike? how much to fill up and how fast do you use it up?
harohanz333 3 years ago
It's about 65-70mpg I think. I don't know the size of the tank.
kjhaglfjhgfasd 3 years ago
The fuel efficiency can range from 55-70 mpg, depending on your most frequented RPMs. The bike uses 93+ octane, which is the premiuim fuel. The tank holds 4.8 gallons, so a fill up will probably cost around 16-18 dollars, depending on the price of gas in your area.
Aviationeer 3 years ago
oh ok cool...can you get 93+ octane at most gas stations? How many miles can you travel on a full tank? thanks for the info!
harohanz333 3 years ago
the bike doesn't use "93+ octane" lol I have had one for years your can put the lower grade in which is 87 I get in the 60s gas mileage city riding you have to really keep your speed down around 65mph in thehighway to get over 70mpg but it's possible. Most gas stations have 87, 89 and 93 octane gas. Some have 92 instead of 93, and some have 94 in addition to 93. Just run the cheapest stuff because the bike runs the same and gets the same gas mileage either way.
