is there something for this 250 .. that makes it faster ??? i mean not exhaust

You could spend $3000 and get 5 more horsepower: porting, blue-printing, knife-edging, all the usual tuning tricks. But why would you do that?

looks like a nice ride. how much practicedo you think one needs before upgrading to a CBR600 or ZX-6? I'm asking because eventhough the new look is a definate improvement, the CBR and ZX looks very sexy and honestly that is the main reason i don't want a ninja 250...looks.

[getshokin]

If you're riding motorcycles primarily because of how they look, my opinion is you should stick to cars...seriously.

That said, I can't begin to answer your question because you don't give me much info about what you're practicing on or how much experience you've had. 600cc sportbikes are designed to win races at very high levels of competition. They are not beginner friendly. The Ninja 250 is. Ask yourself: are you an expert rider? If you can't say "yes" without hesitation, you'r e not ready.

great video mate... I am really looking forward to get one of this preety soon and this kind of video is awesome in the decision process... ths!

PS: U absolutely destroyed the user "ten8goa"...fucking bastard, knows nothing about streetbike's culture and this particular model... no wonder this is the Kawa's best seller bike around the world...PEACE!

Thanks! It's a fun bike.

I'm amazed at how retarded some of these kids are that post here. It makes me fear for the future of the world.

This Ninja bike is different to what i've got, probably one of modifications. I've got engine temperature gauge instead of fuel one and fuel injection system that wreck my head. After first wash computer started to make noise and was problems with start until it dry out. I wander if there is difference in power delivery

only 13 more 40 hour weeks until i can afford it. sigh

I think you should try re-jetting, and also, when was the last time you checked valve clearance? If you ride that bike hard, you should do it ever 3000 miles.
