    NINJA 250 Riders

    1. Traded mine in last month for an SS but I absolutely love my Ninja 250. I am sure it still had tons to teach me but I am not getting any younger and for me I only bought it to learn riding basics. I pick up my ZX6R a week from today. 2. No issues with this bike at all. People (CBR250...

    Guess what I picked up

    WHen I finished signing the papers for the Zx6r my sales guys made the allusion to "you'll love it but I'm sure you'll be back in a year or so for the ZX10r". I called him a bastard for speaking the truth so eloquently. :(

    Hyosung GT650R?

    I was very tempted to get the Hyo250 as my first bike. If I lived close to an actual dealer or shop that qualified to fix em I might have considered it more. I was more interest that it was setup more like an actual SS just with a smaller engine. But I don't regret getting my Ninja 250 instead.

    New Rider Afraid of the Wind

    Another late bloomer here, got my M1 for my 40th Bday. As Jampy said take you time and you are on the right track. I remember riding in the wind on the hwy for the first time, scared crap outta me. Read this post, some good advice. I just remember to relax, grab my tank with my legs and go...

    What was your first Mod (If you can remember that far back!)

    I would consider that more of a cheat than a mod.

    What was your first Mod (If you can remember that far back!)

    DIY Fender eliminator and Plasti-Dip underside of the windscreen on my Ninja 250. FE will be the first thing done on the ZX6R too when I get it in about 10 days :)

    Sooooo JEALOUS!

    Leather jacket, gauntlets, Draggin Jeans, Knox armoured shorts, A* shin/knee pads, full boots and helmet. 5C to 35C. Only difference in gear in those temps is removing the jacket lining and no hoodie. Have a textile jacket but it will likely never be used again, got it for my course. OP, its...

    First 1000km service ... and a real shock

    I know I can do it myself, but I am a network admin, not a mechanic. I am also new to riding so I don't mind paying them to do it. My point was that my dealer puts down on paper what the first service will cost if I choose to bring it back to them. They are completely upfront about the...

    First 1000km service ... and a real shock

    When I bought my Ninja 250 last year my Bill of Sale had the first service amount listed. It wasn't included but just listed and I had to initial it so there was no argument on either side. I had do sign the same thing this year when I bought my new ZX6r. Think is was $230 with tax or something.

    Did everyone take the rider training course?

    I took the course for safety and to learn, not for insurance reasons.

    Did everyone take the rider training course?

    RTI "grad" here, took the course last summer and glad I did. Glad I did too, saved my life a few times on the road.

    Ninja 250 to a 600cc SS

    I did 3,800kms on my 2012 Ninja 250 last season. I traded it in on a 2012 ZX6R for this season. I am far from being an experienced rider and like the OP I am not a cornering monster. I am more of a laid back cruising type of rider and prefer the straight highways over the twisties. I've...

    bought my first bike today

    Great pickup. If SnowCity was closer I would have gone there to get my ZX6R as they have some good deals on all 2012 stock it seems. Anyone buying a used Ninja 250 just doesn't make sense with the deals on the old stock new 2012s. People asking outrageous amounts for used 250s. Plus another...
