this video i been watching for years never really got my parents to say yes to me getting a bike but now i talk to them and well the dice has turned around finally im getting my ninja so fkn proud :D
Im a female rider (5'2) and I have a 500r only because of the same seat height as the 250 but more engine. It's my first bike and I love it. I think this is one of the cutest videos I've seen so far of a female riding. Hopefully by now shes alot better from 3 years ago :)
It's the pure green that they don't have this year. They now have what they call "special edition" green, which is sort of green on top and bottom with silver and black across the sides. They do still have red, blue, and black though, of course. I've already put down my deposit for one of these, gonna pick it up on Saturday. Can't wait!!!
i just got my 09 kawi today man i freakin love this bike so far dude... totally safe beginner bike.. the thing sure is zippy for a 250cc and if your small like me youll have no problem dusting cars at red lights and passing on the interstate like everyone says.. it is a high rpm bike tho SO MAKE IT SCREAM!!!
Just bought a 2012 ninja 250r .. its an awesome bike... Its a big bike for a 250 mate.. looks sexy and everyone thinks its a powerhouse because it looks like the bigger bikes like zx6r after the 2009 redesign. This bike is quick, nimble and cornering will beat any bigger bike
hahaha that was me this morning, I got my 09 ninja 250r black yesterday, rode for 1st time on backstreets this morning, still getting use to it, I love this video it captures the fun and excitement of this bike, I really wish I knew the name of this song or band as well, its cool and fits the video perfectly, if anyone knows please post if you get a chance, well done on the vid guys, and hope your still having a blast thanks
@CaCestChill she is probably about 5". you can purchase lowering links for $200; which bring the bike down about 2 inches. plus they dont mess with the suspension characteristics.
I am in India and i have a Hero Honda Karizma R 223 , the bike is good value for money but the only thing that i miss the most is absence of rear disk brake , its stock drum is good but no match for ur ninja's rear disk... Congrats Dude.
Always loved ninjas .. I remember viewing this video in 2008 .. longing for my very first ninja 250 .. now in 2011 i finally got my ninja !!! blue though .. but i love it :)
I just got a '10 blue ninja last week. I'm about to take my MSF course this week then taking mine out. If you don't have a big head you really should start on a smaller bike like one of these.
Good video, Kawi really broke thru with the redesign of the 250 bodywork. Great to see you get your girl into riding, I'm sure she can take care of herself but having been down before due to a cager rearending me I'd suggestion some good riding gear. See you guys on the road
If want fast without getting a massive bike, the Ninja 650 has a ton of power for a midsize. I'm 6'1 160 and it fits perfectly. Its a torquey bike, its fun as hell to ride. Its pretty comfortable. I have the 06 model, probably going to upgrade over the summer, but I'm sure the 09 is just as or even more comfortable then my model.
@blunk409 I just bought one, and I love it so far. I haven't taken any long rides on it yet, so I can't tell you if it would get uncomfortable after a while, but it's great for short rides. It's a peppy little thing too!
Thanks for the clarification. I'll bet if you did a follow-up video and posted it, she would demonstrate a significant improvement in her confidence and skills. That would actually be a good "Before-After" testament for the MSF program. Please consider doing that. On a different note, I wonder how the egg is tasting on 360's face? LOL
@LiLMissDoWhatiWant You will love the ninja 250. Mine was my first bike and it is very forgiving. I got the black one and love the looks of it. I wanted red to start with but had to take what I could get and have come to love the black. I would recommend red or green over the black though for the simple reason of it being more visible. Not only do you buy a black bike you buy black jacket and helmet which is hard to see. I put chrome ninja stickers on my helmet to make it more visible.
Thanks for sharing. Nice red color on the 250. I recommend getting a jacket, ankle-covered boots for the rider and a couple of frame sliders for those nice new plastics. (They will more than pay for themselves in case you laid the bike down) :-)
I ride both scooters and motorcycles, and I can tell you the Ninja is not kinda like a moped. It's a terrific beginner bike, but if you're terrified (or very smart), you should take the MSF course first.
@kiki91007 Depends on which state your in, and how old you are. If you have a normal drivers license, you should get a motorcycle endorsement and take the MSF course which is usually required.
Hahaha, it's like watching parents teach their child how to ride a bicycle without training wheels. Good stuff :) I hope she enjoys it. Hopefully I can get a motorcycle sometime soon and get that same feeling of learning something new like she was in that video.
@livingdeadonline It's body armor for riding a motorcycle. Don't know the exact one but it's similar to the Icon Field Armor vest. Go to the motorcycle superstore and you can see a ton of different vests like that.
Every 250cc bike has it's own pros and cons. Some cons on some 250cc bikes will compliment the rider's skills, while on the other hand some pros will negatively affect the riders capabilities (ie. extremely tall riders on the ninja just doesn't work as it's not a full framed bike). None the less, the Ninja is a good quality bike for beginners. I opted to go for a Hyosung gt250r simply because i wanted to learn first hand on a full size bike
It sounds like you're either letting out the clutch too abruptly, or not using enough revs. I don't look at my tach when taking off, so I can't tell you how many revs you should use. You can use your ear though. Keep the throttle on but constant, and smoothly let the clutch out. Make sure you're in first gear too. Starting out from second can be a bear.
@OmegaxGoDx thats the smartest way to go, i started out on a 250 to, everyone should to get used to handling and balance.i do recommend going for a 2010, cuz the differences between 2011 and 2010 models are minimal, 2010 has all the goodies, plus it could be up to 2000 cheaper, which you could use to get expensive riding gear so you mat
@47flamenco i still have my 250 ninja. they're great bikes. I'm not too sure if i want anything bigger just yet. They're so light and agile that they can keep up with anything on the mountains at high speeds.
Well I am going for the 250 because a 500 is like to start with a Ferrari as your first car. When you get used to the 250 you can just sell it. It holds its value very good because there are waiting lists on the new one. After that, you can just buy a 500, but it is smart to stay with the 250 until you can lean in the coners broberly.
@akl3g i took the MSF course and they were very friendly, understanding and helpful to new riders like me. They ease you into the test process and will sometimes let you redo a course if you failed it
Good job man i give you props for teaching her. good bike to start on. I'm going to get a new 2009 ninja 650R in a month or 2. What song is that by the way?
Did you guys (lazychynksta) even consider having her take an MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) rider course? If you had, she would have been much more comfortable with that rig - which is perfect for her, or nearly so. Hope she is still riding, safely, and you're enjoying the sport together.
first vehicle? No. First Bike? Yes. You need to get a feel for how sensitive motorcycle clutches are before you get on top of a 1000. Just a tip. It also really depends on your budget and how comfortable you get with your cycle. I recommend taking a riders course before beginning. Go to your local community college for more info. Good Luck!
I have a kawi 2009 250, and I weight around 160 and it is a perfect machine for me..it's a perfect beginner bike and I also think it's my only bike due to how bike the others are
you did awsome!! I million times WAY better than me! I can only go a few yards (with my feet/tippy toes STILL down) then I chicken out and stop the bike. I didn't know that my palms could sweat like this. My friend talked me into taking his souped up ninja 1400 widow maker for a ride around the block just to get the feel (insert max terror in this sentence) of two wheel fun. I'm going out this week and shop for a 2009 ninja 250
@mudgutts123 It's cheap for beginners. Quite obviously not as powerful as a lot of other sports bikes, but I think the Ninja 250r gives beginners the option to get a sporty looking bike without the high probability of wrecking a more expensive, more powerful bike. Chances are you will drop your first bike (not saying everyone does, but a lot of people do), so it's better to drop an inexpensive bike where the resale won't plummet.
i just got a 2009 ninja and i love my bike! its fun to ride and it was a breeze to learn on cuz its only 300 and something pounds so not like a 500 pounds 600cc vike
The most likely reason for a bike to fall over and get lots of parking lot scratches is because of people standing off to the side of the bike and pushing it... You ALWAYS want to be sitting on the bike while moving it, so your legs are in power of the movement... After all, your legs are alot more powerful then your arms.
Whats the name of this song??? I remember when I first watched this video 10 years ago. This was like my dream to get one and loved the song with the video. Now I own a 2014 ninja 300 and had it since 2013.
Nice man. I wish i could get my girl friend to even take a ride with me :)) Tell me your ways!!! Looks like your a good teacher too man, great job. Happy Riding to you!
@lazychynksta so it doesnt hinder her at all? it seems like it would make her tip it over... cause she is reaching down with the tip of her toes to hold it up!
I had a 93' Ninja 250 and i sold it in 98'. I miss it so bad. Watchn this video of yours is making me young & ALIVE again. I found a Red 09' for sale. That helmet looks like the Japanese Imperial navy battle flag, yes? What brand? or is it custom painted? sincerely, Miles
@livingdeadonline not sure what is the corect name for it is but you can find them at any motorcle gear store just go in the safety gear section and should be able to find it
Hey man congrats to the both of you! Be safe and have fun =] Also, hey I really like the song in the video - what's it called and who is it by? Thanks!
u can change one level down of rear suspension so its easier for her to put the feet on the ground. nice bike. i liked how on her first ride she already let you running behind kkk
Asegúrate que el switch de color rojo en los comandos de la mano derecha está en la posición de paso de corriente, que el switch donde va la llave se encuentre en ON y que la moto esté en neutro antes de darle arranque, adicional a esto si intentas engranar una marcha con el gato lateral o pata abajo la moto automáticamente se apagará.
@littleshooterone sorry i ment to ask. 250cc is usually found in scooters no? andway i don care ur bike is beutifull. i neva knew there was a 250cc so ty bro...as soon as i saw ur vid i showed my girl and were both gettin one there prety cheap in brooklyn N.Y..but after the classes...cant wait my first bike lol..how long u had urs?
woah ninja250r never knew those existed ahah seem fun to mess with with oh well stick to a GSX-R600 haha and the seat for your 250r is it custom or it just low?
@47flamenco was awesome. i rode dirt bikes for two years, and day one I learned stuff I never knew. I learned the most important thing I think, and that was clutch control. I never really learned how to control the clutch since I rode on dirtbikes, but motorcycle clutches are setup differently. I definitely feel the difference. I've put 3,000 miles on my bike since I got it in September. Georgia mountains fucking rule.
Well I think the first time I rode a bike it was very easy I u can pass thru first GSA then u can do the rest and all the other type of riding styles will come naturally like tht girl I'm assuming it was her first time n she did very well
dude don't mind all the guys hatin on u and u'r girl's bike... it's cool and it looks like she is enjoyin herself so don't trip bro, u do u'r thing... the video is nice too... so by the way how much did she get the bike for cause i not sure if i should get this one or the 08... but nice bike... bro
Well, I am speaking for myself, but it was not hard to learn. It will however, require your undivided attention. If you're not focused or don't understand a concept you can be prone to mistakes. The best thing is to take the MSF course. Once they teach you everything, and I mean everything you could ever want to know, take your 250 or whatever you have around the neighborhood. Be patient and don't get over confident. Then find a nice, quiet parking lot and practice everything you learned.
There isn't a better beginner bike on the market. Congrats and welcome to the wonderful world of motorcycling.
this video i been watching for years never really got my parents to say yes to me getting a bike but now i talk to them and well the dice has turned around finally im getting my ninja so fkn proud :D
Im a female rider (5'2) and I have a 500r only because of the same seat height as the 250 but more engine. It's my first bike and I love it. I think this is one of the cutest videos I've seen so far of a female riding. Hopefully by now shes alot better from 3 years ago :)

Yay we're about the same height and I'm getting the 2010 Ninja 250R. I've been riding since I was 11. Can't wait!
I have a black 09 and absolutely love it. They are such a fun forgiving machine.
i just got my 09 kawi today man
i freakin love this bike so far dude... totally safe beginner bike.. the thing sure is zippy for a 250cc and if your small like me youll have no problem dusting cars at red lights and passing on the interstate like everyone says.. it is a high rpm bike tho SO MAKE IT SCREAM!!!

Yes you need to use the clutch tobswitch gears. It's possible to not use the clutch but it would damage the transmission.
Thanks for the clarification. I'll bet if you did a follow-up video and posted it, she would demonstrate a significant improvement in her confidence and skills. That would actually be a good "Before-After" testament for the MSF program. Please consider doing that.

good for her.. first time I rode a bike was down a gravel alley that was just a bit too short for me. happy trails to you.
yea ive been looking into taking that course before i even get one because they say it teaches you a lot thanks for your help
I'm 6'4'' and I'm currently looking for a beginners bike. Seeing how big this bike looks compared to you guys, this gives me hope! :D
Thanks for sharing. Nice red color on the 250. I recommend getting a jacket, ankle-covered boots for the rider and a couple of frame sliders for those nice new plastics. (They will more than pay for themselves in case you laid the bike down) :-)
I ride both scooters and motorcycles, and I can tell you the Ninja is not kinda like a moped. It's a terrific beginner bike, but if you're terrified (or very smart), you should take the MSF course first.
Good for you. I love to see the ladies out having fun too. Keep it up, you will get it. Have fun and be safe...
@RainRoyale
Have you already taken a MSF Beginner's course or similar? Very gentle introduction and can really help take away beginner's jitters.
@Skillthreat Should be fine. Go to a dealership near you and ask if you can mount one just to make sure.
@kiki91007 Depends on which state your in, and how old you are. If you have a normal drivers license, you should get a motorcycle endorsement and take the MSF course which is usually required.
Hahaha, it's like watching parents teach their child how to ride a bicycle without training wheels.

I had this bike, i rode all summer with it. About 10k miles in a summer than I sold it and picked up a Ninja 1000 just last night.
still freaking love this bike...and btw i stand flat footed and im 5'6'.. 5'2' will be no problem for you..very light and very agile.. 100 thumbs up
I had a Ninja 250 cc 2005, great bike, no then move to a CBR 600rr!!!!! I think you are on the right way, it's a great starter's bike!!!!!!
It sounds like you're either letting out the clutch too abruptly, or not using enough revs. I don't look at my tach when taking off, so I can't tell you how many revs you should use. You can use your ear though. Keep the throttle on but constant, and smoothly let the clutch out.
Make sure you're in first gear too. Starting out from second can be a bear.
Nice, I should be getting mines by the end of this year. It'll be my first bike and I wanted a kawasaki ninja 250r as my beginner bike.
@OmegaxGoDx thats the smartest way to go, i started out on a 250 to, everyone should to get used to handling and balance.i do recommend going for a 2010, cuz the differences between 2011 and 2010 models are minimal, 2010 has all the goodies, plus it could be up to 2000 cheaper, which you could use to get expensive riding gear so you mat
@47flamenco i still have my 250 ninja. they're great bikes. I'm not too sure if i want anything bigger just yet. They're so light and agile that they can keep up with anything on the mountains at high speeds.
great vid man, just make sure she gets a jacket and gloves :) And running next to her keeping a hand on the bike was awsome!
@ookamisaki im im pretty sure you can lower the bike 1inch 2 inches to fits you
she did really well.. so many would use to many revs drop the clutch an launch into a wall.. well done :)
dude video and music is really amazing, nice vid.
Well I am going for the 250 because a 500 is like to start with a Ferrari as your first car. When you get used to the 250 you can just sell it.

@akl3g
i took the MSF course and they were very friendly, understanding and helpful to new riders like me. They ease you into the test process and will sometimes let you redo a course if you failed it
test ride it...easy to move through heavy traffic...getting one for sure next year....cant wait...
Good job man i give you props for teaching her. good bike to start on. I'm going to get a new 2009 ninja 650R in a month or 2. What song is that by the way?

she'll get the hang of it, my woman started on a 250....hers was an 88 but still.....its a good start.....i did the run along side her thing too LOL
You'll be fine.
Im 5'5 and can put both feel flat on the ground.
Its an extremely light bike as well so it will be fine.
you did awsome!! I million times WAY better than me! I can only go a few yards (with my feet/tippy toes STILL down) then I chicken out and stop the bike.

Amazing, i thought i will buy the Ninja 250R.

Thats so cool!!!! Im happy for you guys!!!
I cant wait to get mine!
Nice ninja, gonna get a 250r myself soon.. Is that her first time riding? She did very well..
Nice man.
I wish i could get my girl friend to even take a ride with me :))
Tell me your ways!!!
Looks like your a good teacher too man, great job.
Happy Riding to you!
@lazychynksta so it doesnt hinder her at all? it seems like it would make her tip it over... cause she is reaching down with the tip of her toes to hold it up!
thats really cool man. when I get my motorcycle im looking to get the 250r also.
As I said before that is the best ninja 250 I have ever seen. Aslo, what song is that in the background??
I had a 93' Ninja 250 and i sold it in 98'. I miss it so bad. Watchn this video of yours is making me young & ALIVE again. I found a Red 09' for sale. That helmet looks like the Japanese Imperial navy battle flag, yes? What brand? or is it custom painted? sincerely, Miles
I strangely like the music. Sweet bike! Cannot wait to get my own!!!
awesome bike i just got my first bike 2 weeks ago and its a ninja 250 and im lovin it koo bike
this bike is surely one of the best 250 around, ive got a question: im 6'4, do you think this bike is not big enough for me?
Some hit 175... depends on how it is. But u can do wheelies and it sacceleration is pretty fast also
@livingdeadonline not sure what is the corect name for it is but you can find them at any motorcle gear store just go in the safety gear section and should be able to find it
dude u got to tell me more about that bike im planing to get one soon for the summer
Thank you. I will try it out this weekend. I just checked the Honda XRE 300 and it is also a nice bike, very comfortable. Lets see the baby Ninja. :-)
By FAR the most addicting noise any 250CC bike makes!
Hey man congrats to the both of you! Be safe and have fun =]
Also, hey I really like the song in the video - what's it called and who is it by?
Thanks!
Sweet video. Nice looking bike and enjoyed the music. Reminds me a bit of Minus the Bear.
@elnuse she did fine alot better then most i think
u can change one level down of rear suspension so its easier for her to put the feet on the ground.
nice bike. i liked how on her first ride she already let you running behind kkk
Justind84
Its called icon field armor, goes around 100 dollars on ebay
@jeffreepreezz Yes but don't miss a payment or it sky rockets. You would want to pay more than the minimum if you ever want to finish paying it off.
Nice video :-)
Just make sure to buy some protective gear! Jacket, gloves and boots are a must-have! You never know... ;-)
Salutes from Brazil
Asegúrate que el switch de color rojo en los comandos de la mano derecha está en la posición de paso de corriente, que el switch donde va la llave se encuentre en ON y que la moto esté en neutro antes de darle arranque, adicional a esto si intentas engranar una marcha con el gato lateral o pata abajo la moto automáticamente se apagará.
@littleshooterone sorry i ment to ask. 250cc is usually found in scooters no? andway i don care ur bike is beutifull. i neva knew there was a 250cc so ty bro...as soon as i saw ur vid i showed my girl and were both gettin one there prety cheap in brooklyn N.Y..but after the classes...cant wait my first bike lol..how long u had urs?
that little beat in the bigining is sweet!
@vincentaroux I was at first, but I am looking at getting one of these in the spring so I figured karma was watching me. I hope she enjoys the bike!
NICE HELMET!
What's the Name & Brand of your helmet? or is it custom?
Miles
Gonna get a bike soon.
If I know how to drive manually in a car is it easier to learn on a bike?
@greytheangel a bit of both, but more the rider, the bike is still pretty fun
OMG! can't wait to get my own baby! love that bike
woah ninja250r never knew those existed ahah seem fun to mess with with oh well stick to a GSX-R600 haha and the seat for your 250r is it custom or it just low?
too bad the red version isn´t available here in germany.
we only got the green, black or green&black edition >_
ya.....im about to turn 14 this summer and im going to get me one.
love the bike...and thats good that she learned pretty quick! oh and the music goes with this video haha
Its kind of odd that you buy a bike first then take the MSF course.
Unless it wasn't her bike.
But w\e looks fun.
She's so excited! I can't wait to get mine!
its a great starter bike im 5'4 AND IM GOING TO GET THIS BIKE WHEN I GET TO ARIZONA
@47flamenco was awesome. i rode dirt bikes for two years, and day one I learned stuff I never knew. I learned the most important thing I think, and that was clutch control.

Well, I am speaking for myself, but it was not hard to learn. It will however, require your undivided attention. If you're not focused or don't understand a concept you can be prone to mistakes. The best thing is to take the MSF course. Once they teach you everything, and I mean everything you could ever want to know, take your 250 or whatever you have around the neighborhood. Be patient and don't get over confident. Then find a nice, quiet parking lot and practice everything you learned.
Is there a difference between the candy plasma blue (2008) and the candy thunder blue (2009), or did they just change the name to confuse people?
