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.

Rogue Trader I just got one and I’m getting it lowered this weekend I’m sooo excited and I can’t wait until I ride.

[@Mustangandtang]

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!

[@sarag1158]

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

[@kustomfilmzokc6012]

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

[@NAJErEa91]

GREAT VIDEO !

[@motoken]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@shraniken]

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

[@motoken]

+John Kennedy small for my size rider I guess.

[@dry509]

Which exhaust does it have?

[@ekkoliu6606]

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

[@motoken]

this exhaust was annoying...I would choose a different kind. it wasn't stock

[@bearsun6024]

loud pipes, saves lives

[@kenp1013]

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

[@sarag1158]

Sunset!

[@REDWhiteblue-uh1zp]

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.

[@markvincentrosqueta6826]

Name of the exhaust pls.Beginner hir!

[@MrLBDude]

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

[@Simone.v]

Hi, excuse me how tall are you?

[@shemiraswopes5257]

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

[@MrRobeva]

San Bruno mountain?

[@motoken]

yes. the bullit mountain.

[@kamakanani0]

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

[@dewlsgetspaid7821]

i got my 2012 ninja 250 for 3100 with 6000 on it

[@dominicbrummond9474]

Did you get it ?

[@kamakanani0]

@@dominicbrummond9474 nah I ended up buying a new 2020 ninja 400 back then and today 2022 traded it in for a harley davidson iron 883

[@jdroofcleanpw]

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

[@legendarymotorsports7373]

Josh Davis no he's not. He wasn't racing.

[@efeandmark1861]

They loved being revved high as to what Josh is talking about

[@alexanderbuys2051]

Max rpm is 15k on this little machine!

[@jdroofcleanpw]

I just always thought it was funny that when you see someone reviewing a small displacement motorcycle with a high red line, they don't give the bike a fair assessment if they are short shifting.

[@motoken]

Ill be sure to go 15k rpm on the street next video. 👍

[@slendercoffee7745]

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

[@VinEllis]

This 250 and all 2008 and up are fuel injected.

[@ghostface9230]

No there not i have a 2013 250R it is carbureted

[@motoken]

2008 and up is FI......lol

[@luizraygoza7629]

2009 carburated

[@motoken]

2008 and up is fuel injected. Look that shit up

[@quinceyhammond9065]

my 08 250 does 90 easy without having it wide open

[@kenp1013]

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

[@davidedutremblay5050]

Sounds like a kids bike

[@motoken]

what is a "kids" bike? is there a CC threshold that is considered a kids bike? what about 50cc scooters? or 125? or 200-300cc cafe racers?
