    I'm getting one of these bikes tomorrow as my first bike. I gotta tell, ya I despised this bike in the beginning because it's carburator. But when I went to have a look at the very first Ninja, I fell inlove with it straight away. The looks of it has an emotional appeal. Then I watched a video of the history of Kawasaki motorcycles here in youtube and the Ninja was made purely for that emotional appeal. It's 150kg dry weight 170kg wet weight. Can't wait to get mine home. Great video and thanks.

    Just got my kawasaki 2012 250cc yesterday. It is absolutely sensational to have for me as a new biker.

    Heck yea dude I totally agree with you. I owned a cbr900rr and I felt like it was so dumb putting around 95% of the time here in Vegas. But now I have a Ryca CS-1 and it's fun to use all the power all the time!

    Which exhaust does it have?

  • @shraniken
    @shraniken 6 лет назад +2

    I didn't realize it was that small. It's roughly the same size as the SV650 and Ninja 650 I thought.

    • @motoken
      @motoken  6 лет назад

      +John Kennedy small for my size rider I guess.

    Man you guys got lots of stop signs on the road, why can't they put a roundabout to replace those stop signs to keep traffic moving.

    Are you still riding this bike. I just got a 2012 to fix up and sell. I used to riding Harley Dressers. This is tiny.

    Hi, mate. Do you change the exhaust? I have a 250 too, but the exhaust is too noise.

    • @motoken
      @motoken  6 лет назад +1

      this exhaust was annoying...I would choose a different kind. it wasn't stock

    You're shifting too soon. Max hp is at around 11,000 rpm.

    • @jdroofcleanpw
      @jdroofcleanpw 2 года назад +1

      I just always thought it was funny that when you see someone reviewing a small displacement motorcycle with a high red line, they don't give the bike a fair assessment if they are short shifting.

    • @motoken
      @motoken  2 года назад +3

      Ill be sure to go 15k rpm on the street next video. 👍

  • @shemiraswopes5257
    @shemiraswopes5257 Год назад

    it defiantly has enough power to switch lanes, if your not going 70 plus you can easily switch w decent power and take over cars. you must be used to 600cc plus

    is it weird that i want the 250 for the carb? I just love messing with carbs on cold starts, but evryone wants fuel injection. I dunno, im retro i guess

    • @VinEllis
      @VinEllis 5 лет назад

      This 250 and all 2008 and up are fuel injected.

    • @motoken
      @motoken  2 года назад +2

      what is a "kids" bike? is there a CC threshold that is considered a kids bike? what about 50cc scooters? or 125? or 200-300cc cafe racers?
