And the Ninja 250R gives you that feeling of riding a big bike. I have ridden a couple of 600/1000 cc Japanese Super Sports bikes before. In spite of its simple chassis, the Ninja 250R is so well balanced and stable that it feels a notch above the R15 in terms of handling.!!. The Ninja 250R does not employ any exotic chassis/frame like a trellis or perimeter frame. Armed with India's first perimeter frame and link type monoshock suspension, the R15 showed how a race/track bike should handle. When the Yamaha R15 was launched in India in 2008, it set new standards in terms of handling among Indian motorcycles. Handling, Stability: " Awesome.!! Simply the best handling motorcycle in India" The riding stance is sporty yet comfortable enough for everyday riding and also for long rides. Having said that, the riding stance on the Ninja 250R is as NOT as aggressive and cramped as a 600/1000 cc Super Sports motorcycle. The rider is invited to reach for the clip on handlebars and coupled with the rear set footpegs, the riding stance definitely mimics its bigger Super Sports siblings. The riding stance is on the sporty side for an Indian bike. The photographs show how comfortable I was on the baby Ninja with both feet flat on the ground. This means that short guys and petite ladies can easily put both their feet firmly on the ground. The result is a low seat height with a seat which narrows towards the front. The Ninja 250R has been designed keeping in mind the beginners ( in developed nations like the USA) to the world of motorcycling which also includes ladies. But swinging a leg over the baby Ninja will put a huge grin on the faces of vertically challenged guys.!! At first glance the Ninja 250R looks big and a bit intimidating for a 5 ft 5 inch guy like me. My friend to whom the Ninja 250R belongs is a 6 ft tall guy and finds the Ninja roomy enough to ride. Strangers on the road remind you that the headlight is "ON" ( irritating) The low beam remains permanently "ON" ( mandatory by law in foreign markets) The twin bulb, 55 watt headlight dazzles the darkest of nights Riding stance, ergonomics: " A boon from heaven for short guys + roomy enough for tall guys.!!" My wife was in fact quite amused with the kind of attention the bike generated wherever we went.Īnd yes, "Lime Green" is the color for me on the baby Ninja.!! The stance of the bike is aggressive and like a big cat about to pounce on its hapless victim. The lines of the baby Ninja is sinuous, seductive and a treat for sore eyes. Unlike the Yamaha R15 the Ninja 250R doesn't look small or out of proportion in parts. The Kawasaki Ninja 250R looks like a genuine and honest slightly scaled down replica of the 600 cc Kawasaki Super Sports, the Ninja ZX-6R. Sexy.!! That's how I would like to rate the looks of the Kawasaki Ninja 250R. The location of the photo shoot is around the hills of Lonavala ( near Pune). The photographs posted have been clicked by him. Accordingly I also got in touch with another biker friend of mine Gourab Das ( MG_Biker1806 from xBhp.Com) who also has an interest in photography.
BABY NINJA MOTORCYCLE FULL
I persuaded him to give his year old Ninja 250R to me for a full day. But since I did not have any photographs of that ride, I never posted about it on my blog ( I make it a point to support whatever I ride with photographs).Ī couple of days back, me and my wife paid a visit to a friend who lived in Pune and also owned a Ninja 250R.
How did it all start: I had ridden the Kawasaki Ninja 250R just a couple of months after it was launched in India. Hoped it was priced twice the Yamaha R15 as well. Twice better than the Yamaha R15 in every aspect Pleasant surprise: The Ninja 250R is the first motorcycle which has impressed my wife.!! Lasting impression: Without any doubt, " The Best Motorcycle ( till 250 cc) that I have ever ridden"ĥ. Ridden in: City Traffic/Open highway, Daylight/Night, Single/with PillionĤ. Duration over which I had the bike with me: 24 Hrsģ. A comprehensive review of the Kawasaki Ninja 250R after spending a full day on it.ġ.
