I recently had the opportunity to try both the Honda 250 and the Kawi for an article in Motorcycle Mojo Magazine. There is a series here in BC called the Western Canadian 250 Gold Cup that runs at Mission Raceway and Greg Moore Raceway. First I wrote and article on the series, then I tried both bikes on both tracks and wrote an article on my experience.

FUN!

I'll post the article when it comes out. In the mean time here are a few pics.

You are one lucky lady to get to test ride both bikes on a race track! I look forward to reading your article.

Yes, he was from BC and coincidentally a good friend of our family. The track is a karting track in Chilliwack, BC and is great for mini racing. The 250's raced this year on the track and are about as much bike as that little track could handle....very fun though!

I had trouble deciding which one was better for me, I always liked ninja more but because fuel injection I had some doubts, Hope to read your article soon, I know it will help others to decide.

I honestly didn't have much time on either of them, just a session or two - and it was my first time riding a 250 on the track. They each had their good attributes.

The article is not a technical comparison of both bikes but more my personal experience of riding each of them on two completely different race tracks. I'll link it up once it is published :)

I was having a lot of fun at that point and decided I had better bring er in before I had any more!
