Next person that comments about price will be blocked. Just kidding. How about some conversations about the bike itself? hahahaha.

i absolutely love my ninja 250. my friends told me to start on a 600 or a 500, but i found it an amazing choice to buy a 250. not only is it very very quick, it gets AMAZING mileage, almost as though the gas is free. if you're considering a starting bike or just one to get you around town, get this, please.

@freespadersuggs my last comment was joke -_-

[freespadersuggs]

@freespadersuggs but the fun is running this bike at higher rpms. it is a ton of fun

@gatorsrule850

so you are saying that it's necessary to go 180+ mph? really a zx6 is fine for both track and street in which it goes 140mph+. why would you need a 10 for the street unless you find the 6 unbearable in terms of comfort? yes 10r can help in cutting seconds off lap times on track, but honesstly for 8K over the 250r and 3K over the 6r, it is not worth it. i dont' care who you are or how you finance it, 3 grand is 3 grand

@freespadersuggs nope to small you need a barrett .50cal you'll out grow that AK-47 to soon and want a more powerfull gun

if you want to buy this bike,, buy it,, don't care about another people said,, btw,, this bike so Sporty,, it make me want to buy 1,, ha3,,

@mpp101 @freespadersuggs It always amuses me when people talk about sport bikes and how people compare liter and 600 cc bikes for out on the "street".  A 250 is FINE oout on the street, and really saying that a 600cc supersport bike isn't enough is like saying you want to go rabbit hunting with a AK 47.

[freespadersuggs]

@mpp101 A muzzy exhaust will give a bit more low end torque and make it sound better, but in most cases, cars are slow out on the street. so i generally shift out of first gear rather quickly, then once you're in second it should be ok. really, it gets loud and screamy at higher rpms but honestly for people in their cars, listening to their radios, they don't even notice. i actually like pushing the bike to higher revs b/c then u can enjoy the other cylinder in this parallel twin engine

[freespadersuggs]

the only thing i don't like about my ninja 250 is that people mistake it for a bigger bike and i'm the type of person who doesnt' like to try and be somethin i aint. (i guess it's the reverse logic as to why most folks buy this bike in the first place). Also I feel like i'm disrespectin riders of supersports by lookin cool when reality is that its a 250. but i love this thing. it's so comfortable cruisin around both on highway and city, i just put cargo net and saddlbgs, ultimte commuter bik

[mpp101]

@Sigrafix Yep. It is so true. It's sad but what are you gonna do? The sound really kills it, i think ill take the risk and spend $4999 on a used ZX6R.

@mpp101

I make that same argument about the Ninja 650.. in theory and on paper it seems like an awesome all around bike.. but the sound is so awful that it absolutely kills it.
