Default Saw a 2009 Kawi 250R

On the road... What a difference the styling makes... I thought it was a 600 until I saw the skinny tires.

It's about time they stepped up to give it some mean bodywork so new riders will surely gravitate that way....

Anybody know how much they are? It's been a long, long time since I was on a bike so going back to a 250 to get re-acclimated to riding probably isn't a bad idea.

really fun bikes... I had one back in 96. My brother and I used to ride the shit out of it...

One time in a N-Run... a guy on a Gixxer 750 told on of the other riders that knew my brother that the 500 ninja was faster than he thought... The guy smiled and he said... that's Manny 250 ninja.

I don't remember what he said next cause it was all redneck jargon & I had no translator... but I reckon the sumbeech was impressed

The MSRP for the 2008 Ninja 250R was ~$3500 and Motorsports Tampa on N. Florida quoted me ~$4500 out-the-door.

Since they're so sought-after by newer riders and the like, I think the 2008s and newer will only hold their value especially coupled with their newer design changes.
