Am i the only person who thinks this engine sounds a bit funny? Maybe the camera mike is not very good?

[cirebamf]

@snetsov It does sound funny. Not like a regular 600cc bike. Plus the muffler is huge lol

do these sit 2 people?

[cirebamf]

@CaptainProtonEIC I was able to fit my girlfriend on it...but she is like 5' 2" 105lbs... I think it would be hard with a bigger person riding on the back. But the bike does come with the rear passenger pegs :)

I also had to stiffen up the suspension whenever she would ride with me. That's something else to think about :P

[David20931]

do you HAVE to use clutch when changing gears (up and down) and will it damage anything if you dont clutch ?

[cirebamf]

@David20931 Some people don't clutch while shifting up, but that's mostly in racing. I think clutching is always good practice. Not doing so could wear out your transmission really fast...but I am not positive how detrimental not clutching is.

The only thing that pisses me off about the 250.. it's wheel size(s). >.<

So thin.. and tiny..

fatter wheels would make it badass.. and a nice slip-on.. o.o

Other than that, epic bike.

this guy doesn't learn to ride a Ninja 250 ...he is learning to ride a motobike! that's a different :-)

@David20931 as long as there is no load on the tranny, not using the clutch is harmless. I actually tap the clutch shifting up, and don't use it at all shifting down, but i also ride mx, but it can be done on the road. You don't have to use it at all, except for starting and stopping, but until skills develop, use the clutch.
