Kawasaki Ninja 250R

Owned for 3 weeks, covered 2300 miles. Absolutely fantastic.

We bought a Kawasaki Ninja for my partner who had never ridden and of course I take it out whenever I have the chance because he goes away for work. I cannot rave about this bike enough. It is the easiest bike I have ever ridden. Whether a good thing or a bad thing it gives the rider a lot of confidence. It handles so well. Its extremely forgiving if you end up in a corner in the wrong gear or a little fast for level, sometimes it feels like you only need think it and it will do it. A great play toy on the corners and I dont feel the wind if I want to ride a little faster. The riding position is very comfortable we like to go on trips averaging 4 hours and I dont get sore. No problems with wrists. Hubby gets a little stiff but he has had a tailbone injury. My hornet picks up faster but I find this smoother - Different engines go figure. We are not cruiser people and it was great to find a bike that looks good but is not too hard to handle. I would recommend this bike to any learner and maybe an experienced rider that would love to have a play and not have it fight you. Its a blast. We will keep it even when we buy a bigger one.

Overall, the Kawasaki Ninja 250 is best for new biker. Cheap. Best in class. Good features. Tyres.
