My daughter has just bought a 2nd hand 2009 250 Ninja and I'm thinking of flying to Wellington to pick it up. I'd be riding to Hamilton the first day and Whangarei the next. Do you think that's feasible or would I be sorry? Apparently they can cruise at 120 okay but what is the seat/ riding position for doing seven hours in a day?
Thanks

Pretty comfortable for average Joe Blo but depends on your height, weight etc. yes they will easily cruise at 120 so should be a good ride weather dependent.

They will do trips like that all day everyday. Enjoy.

Great thanks for the feedback just what I needed to know - looks like a go - I'm 85kg and 5'10'' so should be a good ride but I guess they get blown around a bit in the wind being pretty light - starting the trip next Thursday so hopefully no blizzards, tornadoes or earthquakes...

Do you need somewhere to stay at Hamilton. I can do a deal at a Hotel for $60 bed & breakfast.Originally Posted by CRM

Staying with my bro in law - thanks for the offer though
Double shot!!
The Ninja 250s are plenty capable on the open road. Take it up through taranaki - a great ride through there.

Shouldn,t be a problem. I was comfortable on my ZZR250, and i'm a big man.
Only problem i can foresee is the weather, it will be cold coming up through the heartland. I would avoid the desert road.
They said i have so much ass crack that i could be a dealer

When we picked up our 250 Ninja from Gisborne and rode it to Waikanae never had any problems with it at all.
We were only able to sit on 100ks all the way as we had to run it in as it was brand new.
Rest In Peace
Go up via SH3,through Taranaki,great views of coast north of New Plymouth,and desert rd can be dodgy,nothing worse than getting to Waiouru and road closed.Hamilton about 3&1/2 hours from Hawera,and Hawera about 3hrs from Wellington.
