It is all right that the Kawasaki Ninja 250R is a stylish bike, has modern looks and probably is the best in the sports motorcycles. However, it is a bit too costly. The price tag just does not suit an average Indian biker. If you compare the other sports motorcycles like Bajaj Pulsar 220, Karizma ZMR and Yamaha R15, you will realize that the price of these bikes is two and a half times lesser than the Kawasaki Ninja 250R.
However, the reason for the bike to be so costly is that, it offers 32.5 bhp at 11000 rpm. On the other hand Karizma ZMR, Pulsar 220 and Yamaha R15 offer only about 21 bhp at 8500 rpm (c.a. for all). The fuel tank seems to protrude upwards a little bit more than the usual bikes. It is designed to provide a saddled back seating position. Moreover, there is a big gap between the pillion seat and the rear tyre. Well, you cannot argue. After all, it is a sports bike.
A first look might give you an impression that the pillion seat would crook down if anyone happens to sit on it. However, it is strong enough to carry a pillion rider. The side panels and the area near the legroom are totally covered with plastic and steel material. This gives the bike a very muscular look.
The seat, the rear number plate and the alloy wheels have been kept black in color. However, Kawasaki Ninja 250R comes in various stylish colors for you to choose from. Ebony Black, Lime Green, mesmerizing red and blue are the color shades which are on offer.
The bike is powered by a 249cc liquid cooled DOHC engine. It offers a maximum power of 32 bhp at 11000 rpm and maximum torque of 22 Nm at 8200 rpm. The 6 speed transmission literally lifts you off in the air when you start off; after all it is the power of the 249cc engine. However, the heavyweight bike gives you a smooth ride.
The Kawasaki Ninja 250R has front tubeless tyre of 17 inch 110/70, while the rear tubeless tyre is 17 inch 130/70. The Uni-Track rear suspension, which is patented by Kawasaki, helps in giving a smooth ride on bumpy roads.
The 249cc engine propels the bike picks from 0 – 100 km / hr in just 5.75 seconds. It can reach a top speed of 176 km / hr. The 172 Kg bike offers fuel efficiency of 42.5 kmpl. The brakes are powered by the front hydraulic disc and the two piston calipers. The rear brake is a 220-mm petal disc.
