This is one of the main things that we all are keen on knowing..
The old Ninja 250 / ZZR 250 was got for around 105mph / 168kmh on the speedometer with a 5.75 sec 0-60mph (or 0-96km/h) :: Not bad at all!
Here are some video links of the old ZZR250/Ninja 250, notice in one of the videos, the bike goes to almost 170km/h!!

Just talked to a Rep from Kawasaki... the 250r is officially being released in December. Keep up the good work with the blog!
ReplyDeleteNice videos, but doesn't anyone notice that the speedometer is different in the movie than in the pictures, I doubt that's the same bike..
ReplyDeleteanyone got any real numbers yet for the performance?
ReplyDeleteSo I managed to get my hands on a new showroom model. I took it out stock and it toped at 109mph. I am 6'6'' and 240lbs. No doubt that you little guys will take it up a notch or two. With a mod exhaust, carbs, and intake I will bet it could hit 115-120. 0-60 I was timed at 4.7, 5.1, and 4.9. All of which were hand timed.
ReplyDeletewow that's actually a huge improvement over the last model. what was the final price out the door?
ReplyDeleteThe one thing that was holding me back from the 250 for my first bike was the absolutely hideous hold-over 1988 styling, now with the new fresh look one will be mine this spring! :)
ReplyDeleteWhoever that last idjit was that complains about almost being knocked over by the White Honda Civic - If you drive like an idjit then expect to be knocked down loser - You want to race through a residential area at high speed and then bitch about a car that even signaled before making a lane change - If you cant keep your eyes open - then maybe you should stick to the speed limit. Wannabe biker.
ReplyDelete4500 Out the door after taxes and all of that good stuff :/
ReplyDeleteBut still getting one.
suzuki bandit 400 is way better email me at illisys92@yahoo.com if you dont think so
ReplyDelete^^ i dont think so.. and ur a moron.. why wuld someone email about it..
ReplyDeleteThe gsf400 is a kick ass bike in both styling and performance (for a 400). The bandit would completely dominate the new 250r, and if you dont agree, just look at the stats.
ReplyDeleteyeah- i guess it would outrun the ninja, since its a 400, 'tard. But not everyone who rides does it to race. plus, he's right- the bandit is fugly.
ReplyDeleteWhy would you all pay 4800 out the door for a Ninja 250...when you can get a stock clean Suzuki SV650s with low miles for 3500???
ReplyDeletepeople in the market for a 250 are wanting something small. if we were talking about a 650 then yea that might make more sense.
ReplyDeletedo they even make the bandit 400 anymore? or do you need to find a used one somewhere? sv650's are pretty sweet if you're looking for more power but you got a bigger heavier bike. Most people that get 250's must not be worried about power too much and are looking for a small like bike. Anyone see those naked ninja 250 concepts? awesome.
ReplyDeletei got a 08 250 ninja! AWESOME BIKE!!!
