This bike looks so much better than the old ones, and it gets like 61 mpg. The old 250 ninjas just didn't look that good to me. I want to get one now. 4.8 gallon tank at 61 mpg= about 293 miles on one tank.

its a bit small to start off with. This particular bike you will grow out of within a month. but the styling does look ALOT better.

The old ones just looked like ballz. Now they actually look like most other sport bikes.

highly disagree with the bit small to start off with comment. bit small as in phyiscal size of the bike or the motor? ninja250 forums have riders who are 6'0+ that ride comfortably

a ninja 250 will out accelerate most daily drivers, and will go 90+ mph.... i know its no 600cc that will do 160 easily but still... how fast do you need to go when you first start riding

If only they would apply the same styling to the outdated looking 500R. They should have re-styled both bikes at the same time.

I have had 10 different bikes. I started riding when i was 6. I have riden a 250 ninja, and it may look nice, but it isn't quick. Matter of fact its straight out dangerous when trying to merge into traffic etc.......for the cost of one new, a different very easy learner bike can be bought. Ex. a 500 ninja or something of that caliber.

I can compare it to my geo prism with the AC on, trying to merge into speeding traffic.

not really, tops out about 100 and takes a decade to get there, has little tiny bicycle looking tires on them and they get hott as hell in any kind of traffic

worked at a motorcycle dealership, if you want a starter bike thats still a sport bike get an sv650 or a gsx650F, a cbr f4i or a r6s

not to mention because they are so popular right now... all the dealerships are jacking up their prices, magically the freight and setup fee are like 500-600$ each and suddenly theres no negotiating because its a big ticket item
