Kawasaki GPX 250R

For anything other than a hot summers day, the choke is usually needed to get the bike started. I hear this is common with GPX/ Ninja models. The engine also cuts out easily if the bike isn't properly warmed up... I suggest a few minutes idle before setting out... which I'm usually too late or impatient to do.The style is a bit outdated. The newer ninja 250 looks nicer (but still doesn't look like a 'big bike.')A note about refueling.. (it doesn't have a fuel gauge). It may be just me but I refuel every 100 km. I hear the bike should go for 300 km on a tank or more.. but once I ran out of fuel at just over 100 on the counter. This can be dangerous if you aren't familiar with your reserve switch.

This bike never gets boring. I have a 750cc yamaha and the 250cc gpx still entertains me!

This is a fun bike, ideal commuter and starter bike, which doesn't mind getting you up to 100mph, and doesn't take that long about it. Parts aren't too bad to come by either.
