Nice, It looks more like a mini VFR then a CBR but I can see myself on one around the city.

Very nice! We really need more 250cc bikes around
i wonder if this will be an equivelent for the ninja250.. lots of short people will love it if they had more options...
Excellent. Finally a ninja250 alternative!

Nice looking bike. It is about time we started seeing real beginner bike alternatives. Heck, I wouldn't mind having a 250 myself for popping around on short trips.

Long overdue!
This will probably light a fire under kawasaki's a** to finally make the Ninja 250 fuel injected. With Suzuki already having the FI TU250X I'm hoping yamaha brings their 250 to our market next year.

Cool. The first bike I've ever ridden was a Honda Nighthawk.....in the MSF course! It was all downhill after that.......:BLAA:

They had these in Europe for so long, i've been wondering when they are going to pick up on this. Ninja 250 has no competition in the 250cc sport bike category right now. I would love to see more beginner bikes out there

This would be prefect for commuting. Small, light, just quick enough to take on the motorway for short distances. Although it may be a top target for thieves.

Niinja 250 is fuel injected for europe, actually if I remember well I read somewhere is even fuel injected for india.
Here in south america we get the same non FI version you there in the states get.
Don't know if we'll get this paint in the states, but that's hot right there!

Hmm.. MCN says 26 *shrug*
45 would be pretty damn good for that thing.

Yes it does smack of the new VFR but if they were thinking about a competitive bike to the Ninja 250 they should have given it an extra lung!
Saw a first generation Ninja250 a couple of weeks ago on Montezuma Valley Rd and he was railing in those turns with liter bikes! :rockon:

I got an '07 Ninja 250 for my son two months ago and it's a hoot to ride. It's great! Gets about a ga-zillion miles to the gallon, no matter how you run it!

Ditto! Use to be tons of 125's, 250's, 350's, etc. Everything seems to make full circle. Surely soon there will be a new wave of 250's out there?
