Hey! What’s up everyone? Today I got a chance to test the all new 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250r. Just for kicks, I pit it against Dan’s staff bike, the 2006 Kawasaki Ninja 250r. Overall, everything is much improved from the old one. Power, handling, brakes and looks have been bumped up a notch on Kawasaki’s entry level bike. Take a look at my video for some action shots and my opinions. 

So, in summation, the new 2008 Ninja 250 does the following for me:

Who is the bike for: Newbie riders.

Who I would advise against: Also newbie riders. The 08 version is more difficult to ride. It is not as comfortable as the previous generation’s. It looks a whole lot better, but I’s stick with the older version if you are just learning how to ride.

Sum: Still the best bang for your buck if you are new and have the money to spare. But come on, please don’t expect much, it’s just bike for new riders.
