so a friend of mine had just bought a 250r ninja. he did not have his permit so i had to ride it for him to his house.
i ride a cbr600f4i and am very use to how it feels.
after obtaining the 250r i rode it and thought there was something seriously wrong with this bike wondering why does it not want to go.
later i think that is how a 250 is suppose to feel like, my first bike was a 600 and im glad i made that choice.
after riding a 250 it just felt sooooooo slow.
however when my friend rode the bike he said it felt normal.
i seriously thought the 250cc bike had problems. but i guess thats how the way it is.

 

250 ninja = 36 HP (26 @rear wheel) @11,000RPM
CBR600 = over 100HP

250 ninja = around 75 miles/gal. (with a little self control)

A friend of mine has a couple of bikes and loves his 250 ninja.

 

nothing wrong with a 250. hell, i have a little cb175, its slower than sh** but a blast to ride.

 

i love lil bikes... you can wring the **** out of them and still not be breaking the law

 

My buddy got a Ninja 250 and low sided in a corner on gravel. Took the bike to the shop and when it was finished, he was terrified to ride it so he asked me to ride it home for him. You think going from a 600 to a 250 is bad, try going from a 900RR to a 250!! I felt like I was on a pedal bike.

 

haha o man 950 to a 250. much worse! but yeah, i guess thats how the bike is suppose to feel i just never knew it since i have only ridden a 600 and nothing else. i wonder if i will get that same feeling when going to a bigger bike.

 

dont even get me started on the cbr125....

 

When I was 16 yrs old I use to ride my neighbors CB175. I loved it. It was much faster than any of the pieces of crap that I had at the time.
