First Ride! Is 250CC Enough? - 2012 Kawasaki Ninja 250R 

I'm getting one of these bikes tomorrow as my first bike. I gotta tell, ya I despised this bike in the beginning because it's carburator. But when I went to have a look at the very first Ninja, I fell inlove with it straight away. The looks of it has an emotional appeal. Then I watched a video of the history of Kawasaki motorcycles here in youtube and the Ninja was made purely for that emotional appeal. It's 150kg dry weight 170kg wet weight. Can't wait to get mine home. Great video and thanks.

Just got my kawasaki 2012 250cc yesterday. It is absolutely sensational to have for me as a new biker.

Heck yea dude I totally agree with you. I owned a cbr900rr and I felt like it was so dumb putting around 95% of the time here in Vegas. But now I have a Ryca CS-1 and it's fun to use all the power all the time!

Man you guys got lots of stop signs on the road, why can't they put a roundabout to replace those stop signs to keep traffic moving.

I split lanes with no problem on my 2010/250r Ninja

Are you still riding this bike. I just got a 2012 to fix up and sell. I used to riding Harley Dressers. This is tiny.

I didn't realize it was that small. It's roughly the same size as the SV650 and Ninja 650 I thought.

I don’t think it’s too small for you? Nice bike.

Hi, mate. Do you change the exhaust? I have a 250 too, but the exhaust is too noise.

Which exhaust does it have?

I'll see you out there on my red 2012 Ninja 250!

No one says hi to you on a 250! That's very funny!

Name of the exhaust pls.Beginner hir!

Hi, excuse me how tall are you?

Is $2500 a deal for 2012 with 12k miles?

it defiantly has enough power to switch lanes, if your not going 70 plus you can easily switch w decent power and take over cars. you must be used to 600cc plus

San Bruno mountain?

GREAT VIDEO !

Sunset!

You're shifting too soon. Max hp is at around 11,000 rpm.

is it weird that i want the 250 for the carb? I just love messing with carbs on cold starts, but evryone wants fuel injection. I dunno, im retro i guess

my 08 250 does 90 easy without having it wide open

Not popular yeah! So who cares? I have a 900cc but I also got ninja 300 for fun.

Sounds like a kids bike
