Kawasaki Ninja 250R
Japanese manufacturers didn’t quite focused on producing 250cc sportbikes these last years, Kawasaki remaining the only bike builder with such a motorcycle on sale today for the U.S. market. The smart choice was to keep producing and yet improving this icon, and this way it managed to dominate the American market at the given category. By using a perfect combination of rider-friendly engine, easy to operate chassis, and modern design, this Ninja is a true companion on your road towards bigger motorcycles, like the ZX-6R and ZX-10R. Riders who are willing to be initiated in the wonderful
world of motorcycling and prefer a sportier ride are most likely to jump on
the Kawasaki Ninja 250R so it is best to know what to expect. I certainly
did. I found myself facing an engine that thrives on high-rpm excitement.
Riders will definitely appreciate the 249cc parallel twin which has been
retuned in order to spice up its smooth and predictable power delivery and
the results are simply awesome. I now enjoyed more low- and mid-range rpm
torque thanks to revisions to its dual overhead camshafts and a new
two-into-one exhaust system. This last unit doesn’t make more sound than
necessary; let’s say it has enough to do by delivering awesome performance
just above idle.
Also new for 2008 are the larger 17-inch wheels that, apart from offering a
big-bike look, also contribute at offering great handling and improved
stability.
Features DOHC 249cc Parallel Twin-cylinder-Compact parallel-twin design offers good
mass centralization for superior handling
Cylinder head:
-Refined intake and exhaust ports contribute
to good off-idle response and smooth power delivery -Twin Keihin CVK30 carburetors fine-tuned for
good power feel and low fuel consumption Reduced mechanical noise:-Cam chain tensioner with an automatic
adjuster, like that on the KX450F motocrosser, eliminates mechanical noise
caused by a loose cam chain and reduces power-robbing friction loss -Latest generation Denso radiator offers
superior cooling with minimal space and weight -Involute splines reduce friction and
backlash between gears and shafts for easier gear meshing and smooth
shifting under power Chassis:-Sturdy and durable diamond-style frame of
thick-walled steel tubing offers confidence-inspiring stability at both high
and low speeds -Features 17” wheels like its larger
supersport brothers -Natural riding position with slightly
forward-slanting seat and wide, raised handlebars
Bodywork:
2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R -Styling matches its larger-displacement Ninja supersport
