A look at the Kawasaki Ninja 250R 2010 Special Edition

[BadenM]

I had a sit on the black one of these, and I am over 6ft, and it felt really comfortable. did not take it for a ride though as I do not have my license for one yet.

[marksixteensixteen]

Heap Sweet

[2cool0]

do they use dollars in austrailia? or is it aussie money?

[innie721]

@2cool0 Australian dollars..

[GoingBrushless4X4]

Im 5'7 would this fit me ???

[DontTreadOnMe894]

@GoingBrushless4X4 i would say so its only a 250 so you should fit nicely on it.

[giosuesugar]

Cool vids mate....seriously considering getting one of these as a beginner......especially as you said that you can drive it hard without it throwing you off! as easily

[sombie0]

Is it slow? ???? 0

[dylanblakebrown]

im 14 next year im getting one

[ylism]

The multi colors is what makes them a " Special Edithion " over being just one. Your right it is a markting ploy, Anything to charge more money.. BTW Nice bike. Whats your MPG / LT per tank. Ride safe, yl

[TheSilarpast]

hey blinky, love your vids man

question...are u ever gonna put a different exhaust on the bike and if u are, when is the best time to do it.

like after a certain amount of km's?

[Dodalalal91]

is there black one =D? I love the black color one ^^

This is My dream Motorbike

[aznnigg]

how much would this cost? I WANT IT NOW

[konidarrylreload]

you aren't wearing a shirt :P 1:24

[Traniapfel]

hehe, you say that its a Kawasaki Ninja 250r 2010 mod..

But this video is uploaded in 2009 xDDD

haha! xD

But nice bike btw ;D

[AusShinDig]

@Traniapfel Vehicle manufacturers release the next year model at the end of the current year. This was filmed in November 2009 so the 2010 model would have already been out for like two months. Weird how they do that.

[EarlyPhreshYo]

haha crazy cat....

[wefwerferf]

I'm thinking of getting this bike

[GsxR750Speedemon]

I have the exact same bike :) it's my 2nd bike and I love it...

[danorambo]

whats difference between 2008 and 2010?

[denoot888]

nice bike, got the same one, but in black, never regretted it as my first bike

[SlowDaddie]

LOL ca'ts like, "wtf is this human saying?" anyway, cool bike. i like the green too. I'm thinking of getting a Ninja 250 (it'll be my first bike)

[kofirice41]

hey im trying to get this bke do you no where i can find one like a website or store please help i love this bike

[psw1994]

lol go buy one GO BUY ONE!!

[416Gamer]

my dick is really big...is this bike for me?

[texlyon]

@416Gamer Yes! Its not like a hummer "I has small wiener, so im hiding it with this big as shit!"

[TheJeffWing]

Australian, or New Zealand-er?

[animalsgod]

you have an awesome cat dude

[gsxaznboi]

MSRP is at 3,999 NEW. Of course not adding dealing fees etc.

Beginner's I would highly recommend this bike or a lower CC bike. I have seen wayyy too many accident's with big toys. Start of small and then climb up.

If you do decide to get a bike, IF you are totally new, get a used one. You will most likely drop a bike or nip somthing. Thus you won't have to worry about a BRAND NEW bike.

Good review on the bike and training, Blinkycab I appreciate your vidz.

Also heard 2008 KN is lightest.

[renzolobrown]

was wit da cat

[Rkooner]

HAHA LOL AT THE END. NICE.

[ovariesniper]

quick question, i am debating on buying a ninja like this one new or finding a 600cc yamaha r6 (my dream bike). Main thing im concern is about the speed factor, and ofcourse since i am a beginner would it make sense to buy a new ninja and than later on sell it for a 600cc bike or just get one right out of the bag?

[SERVER1992]

how much does it cost now ? and not the special edition

[deadcell1]

I only need to save up $1,200 and I can buy one.. can't wait

[axedude]

I like your bike, i would like to have one for

myself

[Johnp1212]

i checked out the price for this bike its like 4,000

[BahenaLeo]

The real problem with this light bike's, is when u rocks on the freeway [especially in California] is scarring when a big, big truck pass 65 MPH on your side... wow u gotta feeling... that's why I prefer a heavy bike, well mine is a CBR 1000, more heavy, but my first bike I bought was a 2004 Ninja 250, actually I learn to drive in that one... pretty cool bike, nice, enjoy it guy, nothing happen, just enjoy the ride.

[hondaaccourd5]

I sat on this bike at a motorcycle dealer today, and MAN! is it light

[M3TALFLY]

@hondaaccourd5 IKR

[DjRainOfficial]

help please im about to buy this bike but im not sure if its good for me, im 6'4 240lbs ? Thanks !!!

[bmxnbamafan]

i'm 6'2'' at 170lbs and it handles me fine. i have a 6'5" uncle that rides on 07' and it's not that big a deal really.

[Adrian14045]

aaaaawwww

[Adrian14045]

i wish i have that ninja 250r in this january 2011...

GOD...

that's cool man!!!!

[InFrameProduction]

Ha ha like the Cat he's cool..lol

[lisacherie85]

Love the color. Got one for my wife, but all they had was red.

[CrazyIProductions]

ok i can't figure it out what is that box thingy on the right handlebar it's on like every bike what is it

[Maxim0W0lf]

@CrazyIProductions its the brake fluid reservoir for the front brake caliper :) think its standard for all bikes unless they have a cable operated front brake (very unlikely)

[CrazyIProductions]

@Maxim0W0lf thank you sooooo much it was driving me crazy :)

[berserk0015]

It's a great bike. Congrats!!!.

[driftworld86]

i've been thinking on and off about getting a Ninja 250R, and thanks to your entertaining vlogs, it's getting me pumped up for it...but i'm always discouraged to be reminded that here in Toronto, ontario, CANADA....

the insurance is very high for motorbikes, and also the fact that winter season is very long.

i know australia does have it's winter-y seasons, i'm wondering how do you transport with bike in garage for hibernation?

thanks blinky~!

[blinkycabsucksbanana]

cool bike !

[Erny25]

This is the exact bike I want but I am 6'4" and I weigh 220LBS do you think this bike would be suitable.

[messos]

@Erny25 no, you should get a 1000cc.

[Erny25]

@messos alright cool, thanks man.

[messos]

@Erny25 lol, I was just joking, 1000cc is too much for any new rider, the 250R is good, it doesn't look small either, if it is for you, then try get a ER-6F?

[kj7687]

@Erny25 Yea dude the Ninja 250 will do 110 mph. A lot of people will tell you it is weak and underpowered and you'll get bored and it's a girly bike etc etc. But don't listen to them they are full of shit. I promise you will be more than satisfied with a Ninja 250 as your first bike (assuming it would be your first bike). And if you do end up wanting more power in six months or a year, it's easy to sell it and buy something a bit bigger.

[MESSER8989]

Its a special edition because of the extra paint job (i.e. white checkers at the bottom, etc). They have plain lime green for the same price as the black, etc

[seber99]

nice cat

[MultiMartialArtist]

Hey Blinky! Thanks for these great videos!! I just purchased a 2011 Green Ninja 250r! I'm 15 and this is my first bike, i'm picking it up tomorrow and I'm gonna make a video for you saying thankx!! :]

[MarkAndersen91]

love the bike,, and the cat.

[Luwinkle]

I'm wondering what a 6ft tall large american dude will look like on one of these things.

[blinkycab]

@Luwinkle Probably not much different from a 6ft australian dude. Some say I look a little too big for it but comfortability wise I'm fine :)

[Luwinkle]

@blinkycab Well that works, considering we're the same age too. Now I Just need to lose about a quarter of my weight so I wouldn't look like a stereotypical biker on the wrong kinda bike. :D

[spartanturtle333]

@Luwinkle bro I got the same one and I am 6ft 3 and let me tell you it will fit you better than the bigger cc bikes , I promise , listen to blinky look at me on mine too please.

[rudeEMOboi]

how old yre you buddy?

i am thinking of buying one becaause it really really seems funny to drive it... even if i only have 600 ccr usually

and how would it look, when youre 27 and ride a childrenbike?

[PRoDMN8]

@rudeEMOboi listen, he dont care if its a 1cc bike or a 1700cc bike, he just likes it, and by the way no point in showing off by saying "even if i have a 600ccr" because there are some people who will ride a yamaha 1.7k cc and still enjoy riding a 125.

[rudeEMOboi]

@PRoDMN8 yeah. in the time that passed from my last writing i have made a test drive. its really a funny bike

probably if i would not be to tall for it, it would be my choice.

[blinkycab]

@PRoDMN8 You're right. Thanks heaps for looking out for me :)

[blinkycab]

@rudeEMOboi I'm 23. It's cool

[rudeEMOboi]

@blinkycab ^yeah but i am 28 ^^ that was my usual problem

but the test drive really was fun

[Xz313]

@rudeEMOboi

50ccm are childrenbikes 

[cliffcox66]

@rudeEMOboi s WOW! What a dummy. It's obviously NOT a "childrenbike". Your spelling is obviously child like indeed. This is a motorcycle. The cc's do not matter to anyone in the world, but you.

[rudeEMOboi]

@cliffcox66 lol! are you gay??

i mean...obviously im not a natural speaker and also im better then you? you try to compensate something? :D

get lost

[cliffcox66]

@rudeEMOboi Rude, your name says it all. Im sorry that being molested has caused you to be so aggressive and attacking.

[Kennethstef]

@rudeEMOboi cause bigger bike means more skill n bigger d!ck right buddy??

[OfficerSheepDog]

@rudeEMOboi

Yea but your emo, says in your name right? So you have a children's mindset, and you have proved it with your comment. Also, you spell like a fucking moron. How do you feel spelling like a moron?

[calkiot538]

i love gran too, i love gran a lot. gran is awsome. kawasaki graaannn

[wiktorkramer]

come on! the tacho looks so old... Like it where biuld in 1990.... it's 2010!! electronic is now in the yamaha tzr 50 ccm.. ninja 250r is amazing but the tacho sucks..

[mrbunnyfufuu]

Nice bike, ugly cat

[mediummedia1]

"Pull over now~!" Epic. XD

[squarecnix]

could u do a video on how to secure your motorcycle and keep it from being stolen? I know maybe Australia has better crime rating but here in Los Angeles, or other US cities like NYC we have to worry about that shit CONSTANTLY

[zuhear619]

wow..

u bought a new kawasaki and get a free cat..

[kgmurray]

best colour

[Chimenko89]

Lol...

[ddewolf1]

nice videos dude 

[ddewolf1]

love your video's dude pleasure to watch and learn from even if the info isn't spot on ahah

[stiffarmman13]

i was thinking about getting a bike but im a big gun like 6"1 265 do u think a 250 could do the job

[TheBadapel]

@stiffarmman13 well yea but it would be better get a 600 and both are good starter bikes

[Yaklich]

Ughh I want a 250r so bad.

[evikpain88]

Cool bid bro! I actually just got my license and I am buying a 250R next spring! Getting some tax money back + vacation money! Buying it used doh, norwegian taxes are insane :D

Enjoy you're bike ;)

[63falcondude]

how tall are you? thanks

[MultiMartialArtist]

The Ninja 250r 2008+ is so beautiful and felt so comfortable when I sat on it at the dealer,gets great gas,agile,low on insurance, but, I don't think I can afford it so I think I'm gonna buy a used Cbr 600 as my first bike, blah, i wish i could have both

[Sm00thCriminaal]

good review. get some vids up of u riding her

[filbragabr]

It's a beautiful bike, but Hyosung 250 is better!

[kgmurray]

gorgeous i must get one.

[xxcrimxx]

So I take it the 250 is still not fuel injection?

[darkside97]

ninja cat lol

[920xSubaruWRX]

[ptmcl99]

$3,500 U.S dollars new... good deal

[JJOSH5]

@ptmcl99 you know what REALLY PISSES me off? in canada a USED ninja250 is slightly over the price, of what a NEW one would cost you in the u.s >:@ there goes my dream of buying a brand new bike :(

[ptmcl99]

@JJOSH5 tha sucks sorry to hear man im16 but im saving now for one, i got by drivers and motercycles licence and im almost there to getting a 250r. do u have a bike?

[JJOSH5]

@ptmcl99 actually i just turned 16...i have enough money to buy a ninja250.....in the u.s :P but over here its much more...it's about $5200* but you still have to pay a bunch of fees which will end up being about $5600+ >:@

+ the insurance over here is CRAZYYYY for new riders like me nd u :( damn it. damn canadians!!! why??!! WHY?!!! >:(

[ptmcl99]

@JJOSH5 ya insurence does suck its 100 for riders and like 250 for new riders pluse collision insurence then reg. im close to getting one i have b out 2500.

[DerivedSu]

1:26

Am I the only one that noticed the bare chest?

Australia must have been baking at the time.

[Sexytime0mad]

[morley668]

[plus16hrs]

[blinkycab]

@plus16hrs Something like 7500. Just call your local Kawasaki Dealer :)

[kamiGTR]

really clear video, what camera did you use bro? nice bike and cat btw :D

[blinkycab]

@kamiGTR Thanks. Yeah it's a ContourHD

[blinkycab]

@kamiGTR Whoops - for my vlogging it's a ContourHD but for THIS video I used my Sony Handycam :) HDR-XR520

[jacquesth2]

[1100HondaCB]

[TrjnHrnt54]

[Mike75489]

[gladiatorpritam]

great bike, but liked d cat at d end !

[Nihadkeso]

nice bike

[Ve1cro]

......pull ova NAOW! EMERGENCYY! :D excellent :P

[Jrdec]

congrats on getting more than 20 thousand views :)

[Pr0Auzzii]

Im getting this exact bike for $7690 + all new gear with it

cant wait

[warhorseforever]

@Pr0Auzzii That's too much the motorcycle , around here at least, is 4g at the most. And all the dealers I've talked to will give me a good deal on full gear, like $500(us), for helmet jacket pants boots and gloves for buying a new bike plus cut out a lot of paperwork fees and a bunch of other bs stuff like it esp. considering that the recession is still hitting us down here

[Pr0Auzzii]

@warhorseforever Hmmmm, where are you from man?

[warhorseforever]

@Pr0Auzzii South Carolin, United States of America

[Pr0Auzzii]

@warhorseforever Well im all the way down in Australia, so the price is about the same

[warhorseforever]

@Pr0Auzzii That's $4,000 USD for everything

[supernovae79]

haha wat was with the cat?

[JVIavrick]

do the helmets come with the motorcycle or would i hav to buy one??

[KoreanRobot]

@JVIavrick You have to buy one separately, but im sure the kawasaki store you buy it from (if you do) will have helmets

[TheCruiser93]

I love your Bike, im 17 and i want that for 18/19 or maybe 20 Years old.

But then maybe i buy the 2011/2012 Model.

But Special Edition is much better then only green, but green must it be, like you say in the Video.

OK, maybe in 2 years i am cruising whit this bike.

[totz321]

The Black colour of these models are much better.

[HansRoht]

Do you recommend your Lime color or Red tatoo one?

[JAKEY878]

It's a bit crowded if the driver is about 6 feet and over; crowded for the backrider that is. Very quick bike.

[exe16]

Are those new graphics on the 2010 special edition Ninja 250R vinyl or painted? I'd love to buy them.

[briancampillo]

quick question, the headlamp, when on low.. are both sides on? or when its on low is only one side on?

[wildicepick]

ahahahahahah PULL OVER NOW

nice

another good vid that mean subscribe time :)

[jaymzthaman]

About how much does it cost for a new set of tires?

[phr3ek]

just bought mine today

special edition ebony red(candy red/black)

MSRP for mine was $4500 usd

came out to be $9500 usd with fees, taxes, LoJack, and +4 year warranty

.....sexy!

[superjosue2012]

hey, i've been wanting to buy a sportbike for a while but i cant dicide between the ninja 650r, or a ninja 250r,,,, ,anyway,,,,i wanted to know if two persons can ride this motorcycle???

[blinkycab]

@superjosue2012 Yeah it's a two-seater. If you want a bike because you are going to ride with another person on the back alot then I would suggest the 650R. The 250R can handle 2 people but the weight slows it down a bit.

[ramonet27101993]

@blinkycab whats the diference of the special edition and the normal edition

[soulcalibur22]

@superjosue2012 600 is all the power u need and a little u want and obviously the 250 is lower just what you need to move. So if your just on transportation kick there is a diff between fun and just going. Its cut and dry dont get me wrong u still get joy of riding. i could see if u were trying to decide ... 1000 600 so many factors scary weight speed ect. but it should be easy for u

[Norksy]

Emergency!! :P haha nice vid man. im looking to get this as my first geared bike. I've been riding a moped/scooter for 2/3 years and its coming up to my 19th birthday im thinking of getting this bike ! Is it a good bike to learn on with fun? i have ridden a geared bike before a few times, (aprilia rs125) but i want to go one better than my friend and get a ninja 250 ;D what do you reckon? thanks.

[blinkycab]

@Norksy Yeah the Ninja 250r is perfect!

[chan8330]

you sound like a tool.

[blinkycab]

@chan8330 Thanks bud

[Ratfuzz18]

@blinkycab More specifically, probably something badass like a wrench.

[blinkycab]

@Ratfuzz18 A wrench is good, that could work for me. I can see it now "blinkycab - the badass wrench"

[killbillkrishna]

@blinkycab that sound gay..... dude show some respect for your ride... if you were in my country(INdia) you'd have to pay $6500+ for getting it...... and it also takes 180days after booking... In my case ive got 45days left... Damn!!!

[Dastrayne]

First off man, you are SO cool.

I love your accent ;) it's so hot!

Sweet bike, I'm thinking of getting one... not sure yet!

p.s you say the corniest things, I LOVE IT<3

p.s.s, i love your cat.

[Cheuny]

I believe only the special edition has the fuel gage

[paulomachado3]

dam cant wait to get mine in the middle of the year... i think the same kawasaki = lime green no other .

is it carb or fuel injection?

in brazil we have fuel injection but no fuel gauge =(

anyway i love the bike man.. i've almost bought a car, but motorcycles are awesome! freedom it self! so im gonna start with a 250 so i can get the moves.

thanks for the lookout!

[Keita1792]

@blinkycap yeah, that's what I actually meant. New bikes with carburetors aren't allowed in Germany anymore as far as I know. I guess it's because of pollution. And the FI makes them way more expensive....)-:

[cmonutube]

LOL THE CAT

[cmonutube]

wow its really more expensive to get their trademark green? fucking retarded

[Keita1792]

In Germany the Ninja 250r still has a temperature gage instead of the fuel gage...and it's fuel injected, that's the second difference to the US version.

[blinkycab]

@Keita1792 I'm pretty sure it goes - Fuel Injection = Temp Gauge / Carburettor = Fuel Gauge. Something like that

[BosNianBaLLer12]

I just picked mine up yesterday, the camera can't show its full beauty! Beautiful bike

[emperor2017]

Cool bike.I just bought a brand new 2010 ninja 250r myself and i love it.I got the black 1.I don't think there is any difference between the so called "special edition" & the normal 1 apart from the checkered paint job and special edition decals.You can still get green or blue on the normal bike 2 without the extra cost...

[rednut18]

good vid ive got a zzr 250 and as far as i can work out from looking at the work shop manuals there the same bike with a few cosmetic changes mine red lines at 14 but will rev out to 15 and its been clocked at 210kmph its got a full race exhaust system on it and its been race tuned and i think the whole fuel thing is for new riders who havent got used to working out how much fuels left from the k's they've done

[CreditValleyWolvess]

i am deciding what bike to buy im 6;3 220 pouds will this ike be alright for me??

[blinkycab]

@CreditValleyWolvess You will destroy this little bike. Nah you would probably be alright...go and sit on one and see how it feels and if it's uncomfortable then yeah just go a bigger one.

[CreditValleyWolvess]

@blinkycab first sentance scared me! Thanks for the help

[ujayyy]

@CreditValleyWolvess Ive seen a post on a forum about a guy around your size, he was saying that he was surprised how the bike was still so sharp even for him =) Go get one !

[Dan9271]

is that one seater and how much it cost you ? thx

[blinkycab]

@Dan9271 It's a 2 seater and in AU it was about $7500

[Andirwan]

panen still sucks
