allrighty guys. i'm sure i've mentioned that i'm going to be going for one of the new ninja 250's when they hit the sales floor here. i've tried asking the wife's opinion for color and wouldn't you know, we have opposite tastes in that dept. anyhow, i'd like some opinions. of course, all of my coloring ideas may change when i see em in person. to let you know, the order i have them in the poll is my preference. i don't have pictures but i'm sure you can go to kawasaki.com and find em there.  :thumb: thanks in advance for the votes!

Yea when i custom painted my bike from its powder blue before to include Kawasaki green in the color scheme it definatly went faster. I think they must mix some super slippy substance into kwaka green to create less drag lol!

I think I am going to get one as well, although it would have been nice if they redid the 500 as well.  I am not a fan of the 650.

Oh, that's easy, the ninja 250 is a piece of sheite ... OK you may think its 1/2 the size of the 500 which may make it 1/2 as shitty, but however its not, its almost 75% as shitty.
BTW, purple + yellow is the best color for it. Mix the 2 and you get a beautiful turd brown color.  :thumb:.
Cool.

srinath, why do u say ninja 250 is shaZam!? are u one of the die-hard suzuki fanatics who thinks any other product is inferior? it's not kawasaki's fault they are the only ones smart enough to produce a 250 sport bike for the US.  :flipoff: :laugh: :laugh:

I am a huge yamaha fan of late, and I have had a kawi fetish too for seveal models. Eliminator series, vulcan and the Kz twins. They too the KZ and screwed it all up. That is the EX500.
Proof in in the pudding, ride it or better yet try to fix it and you'd know.
The eli's are complicated too, but its competetion is a lot worse, all V4's eli's are I-4. Hands down winners IMHO.
Cool.

yamaha hasn't really shown me a bike that says, "come ride me. take me home".  :laugh:

Post by: The Buddha on November 05, 2007, 11:52:05 AM
If a Ninja 250 is telling you that, get your ears checked.
BTW, the yammie's I am raving about haven't been made in 20 years.
Oh yea, no one has made a bike in 10 years that tells me to ride it home.
Cool.

Buy a used GS, those usually are cheaper than used EX250's cos well the chicks did that full fairing. So do dealers, insurance companies, theives and road rash.
Cool.

Post by: jordanearl on November 24, 2007, 02:51:29 PM
i think you will like the 250.  i sold my gs cuz i was planning on buyin a new bike this spring.  well my wife has been wantin to get into ridin for a year or so, so i came across a good deal on a 01 250 with 6k miles.  so i bought it for her to ride.  since i sold mine an the weather was still beautiful out, i been ridin it, an at first i didn't really like it, but after ridin it awhile(1000k miles in about a month)its a great lil bike, an it has a higher top speed then my gs did.  i have givin her till spring to decide whether she still enjoys riding, an if she opts out, im gonna keep the 250 for myself an do a few mods to tweak a lil more power  an go buy a boat instead :laugh:
