LOL at the Ninja 250r

[Hiflyer]

Damn you ninjas and your lack of weight! I dont know what they make hyos out of!! (lead?)

how much do they weigh?

[Reido]

152kg dry weight.
though mine will be a little less. i ditched the chunky muffler/exhaust
for a lighter / smaller one.. oh and it sounds better too XD

[vindy500]

160 on the flat today made my ninja go bang

[NOMIS]

haha yea and you can do that with most 250's but not a hyo, cause theyr so damn unreliable, i dont trust mine 100%
at least both the ninja and the bandit are reliable

*cough* and the Hornet's

[Reido]

i was really keen on a hornet when i first started.. but dad wouldnt let me..
so i ended up with a CBF250...

but now i have my ninja so all is well.. though i still want to try a hornet out

[Slyer]

Why wouldn't he let you get a hornet?

[Reido]

"why get a X year old bike for $XXXX when u can get a brand new one for... " etc..

my original want was a VTR250..

i think he wanted me to have a single cylinder bike first aswell..

they hold there price for a reason lol
a x year bike running like a brand new one.. or if u get one in niice/perfect condition ( like mine ) lol.. try a hornet man they go great, mines for sale atm tho I already know how much i will miss it

[vindy500]

Again though, if you want top speed on an L-plate, don't buy a ninja. Save up and get an Aprilia. Or, ( shock, horror ) get a car.

BLASPHEMY!

now wonder you got a new ninja

all three are very good learner bikes, but i think you were spot on with your first want for a vtr250

(ps i'm looking to test ride a cbf230 to better qualify my opinions, so if you want a crack at a hornet my little brother has one....)

[R1madness]

Its true that the older 250cc bikes are faster than the new ones but there is always a trade off. The older ones are a little harder to ride due to needing to be thrashed a bit more to get the best performance out of them. So if you want a fast 250 buy an older one.
The NINJA looks cool tho....

i think we were going to do that awhile ago, but we never got round to it. My CBF250 is long gone

[Vixen]

i love the ninja 250R, i have a 2008 one and have learnt to ride on it.....its light, good riding position, easy to handle, great kms out of a tank, looks awesome even with an L plate on, great price, fast enough for a learner, great resale and of course....SEXY AS!!! what more could a learner biker chick want!
lol

[Slyer]

Sexy as indeed!
