The Kawasaki Ninja 250R offers a rare combination of compact size, low purchase price and excellent performance.  It continues to be among those motorcycles at the top of the sales chart. Actually, there are several reasons why consumers flock to the sporty styling of this particular motorcycle.  The Ninja 250R provides easy-handling agility, a lightweight presence, and ownership costs that make this model a force to be reckoned with when shopping for a motorcycle in the entry-level sportbike category.


Power for the Ninja 250R comes from a high-revving, liquid-cooled, in-line twin-cylinder four-stroke engine featuring dual overhead cams and four valves per cylinder.  It delivers smooth, predictable power that’s perfect for new motorcyclists, yet its 13,000-rpm redline and six-speed transmission will put a smile on the face of the most experienced sportbike rider. As if the Ninja’s excellent engine performance wasn’t enough, its rider will also be amazed by the nearly 70 mpg  average fuel economy. 


Like its larger siblings, the Ninja 250R sportbike features an aerodynamic full-fairing, Kawasaki’s UNI-TRAK progressive rear suspension and high-performance disc brakes.  It also has a low seat height for added confidence when stopped.  Other features include an easy-to-read instrument panel, positive neutral finder, centerstand and pop-up bungee hooks.
