Kawasaki Ninja 250R Special Edition
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.
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. ConclusionIn the city or on twisty country roads, the lightweight, rider-friendly Ninja 250R is a blast to ride! With an engine character that can be fully exploited, a compact, easy to operate chassis and full-fairing supersport styling worthy of its moniker, this model was developed to offer street sport performance to riders of all skill levels. Features Engine: 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 Carburetor:-Twin Keihin CVK30 carburetors fine-tuned for good power feel and low fuel consumption Exhaust System:-2-into-1 system contributes to the Ninja
250R’s low- and mid-range torque and smooth, step-free power curve 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 Liquid Cooling:-Latest generation Denso radiator offers
superior cooling with minimal space and weight Six-speed Transmission / Clutch:-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 Suspension:-New 37mm telescopic front fork with firm
settings contribute to the Ninja 250R’s smooth, stable handling and enhanced
ride control Wheels / Tires:-Features 17” wheels like its larger
supersport brothers Brakes:-Large-diameter, 290mm front petal disc and a
balanced action twin-piston caliper offer excellent braking performance and
a natural, direct feeling at the lever Ergonomics:-Natural riding position with slightly forward-slanting seat and wide, raised handlebars Bodywork:
2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R
-Styling matches its larger-displacement Ninja supersport
sibling Instrumentation:-Instrument panel features an easy-to-read, large-face analog speedometer along with an analog tachometer, odometer, trip meter, fuel gauge and warning lights
