The John Norwich Riders CornerIn honour of our fellow moderator: John Norwich R.I.P. September 17th, 2014
Buy, sell, trade bikes and gear, set up bike rallies, meet discussions. #revscenebikes
pics of the new 2013 250's are out. If I were in the market for a newish 250 cc sportbike I would have definitely gotten the ninja over the cbr, but this new ninja 250 looks more awesome than the current gen. It should have optional abs and FI to compete with the new cbr but no confirmations yet.
you plan on getting collision and/or comprehensive?
Honestly I dont know. Right now i'm just skimping by but I'm thinking about comprehensive if I insure the bike all year round. Anyone else got any opinions?
So the new ninja is out and it's not a 250 anymore but a 300 now. It is fuel injected as well. Not sure about pricing. If priced right i think it will sell like hot cakes. It also looks like kawasaki made updates to their entire line up except for the zx-6r but I could be wrong.
bike's a bike, i got no problem riding my 250. it was the most financially sound thing for me and its enjoyable to ride around the city. besides, I dont need to impress the idiots at the stop lights or the fools who need more cc to show off to their friends.

Late july. I've put on 6k so far and still going Posted via RS Mobile
Thank you for helping me making my point.
Why are so many people choosing this bike to start with? Either all these people are dense and have no idea what they're doing or they're making a smart decision to get comfortable with a new hobby.
I would rather have someone who isn't confident riding a more powerful bike ride a "bitch bike" over a powerful bike from the start and hurt themselves and/or others.
Yup had a friend crash his rr in about his first month of riding. Too much cc and testosterone, let it rip on cold tires from his buddies house. Lost traction and crashed 3 houses down lol. I think a lot of it is also just developing a mature attitude. Riding is serious business haha. But you're right, it is a learning bike for me, and doubles as a damn good commuter.
Ps he still rips on me for getting a 250. Oh well LOL
Btw glove, I found that the ninja was going for a lot cheaper than the 250's--used atleast. That was the major deciding factor for me. Posted via RS Mobile
kinda wish i waited for the new one got my ninja beginning of aug ive put about 4k on it so far..freakin love this bike, its cheap and is great for everyday communiting. not looking into upgrading anytime soon, but it does suck when i ride with friends and they just zoom past me

i bought a 250 at the end august rode it for about 3 weeks and upgraded to a 636. i rode the shit out of the 250 i put almost 2500k on it went up to mt baker 3 days after i bought it and if i had gone with a bigger a bike i would have been in big trouble lol
i feel a lot more comfortable on the big bike after i had time to get used a small one took me about 30 mins to get a hang of things on the big bike. the bigger bikes just blow the 250 away. imo if after you take the PRS (which every1 should) and your still a poor rider it would be very wise to grab a 250 to start on. they are so much fun in the city =]
