I rode a Ninja 250R for two years and loved it. I sold it last year because I didn't have the free time to really go riding on the weekends, but that will change next spring, so I'm planning to get...

I'm about 143 and I find the suspension (front and rear; rear at default 2nd softest setting) reasonable stiff. :confused: Sure the front dips when I break heavily, but it never felt like it dipped...

Biker etiquette seems to be similar over here to the US and Australia. Scooter riders don't wave, probably because they're too young to know, Harley riders often don't, but every now and...

Nope, but I probably haven't used the last 2 cm (~1 inch) on the sides in quite a while. When I did use them, I was counter-leaning. :o

At least the left and right half of my tires are evenly...

My chickenstrips are growing!

I love watching motorcycling videos on Youtube, and I saw a lot of people low-side, apparently due to bad body posture (counter-learning or upright position). So I've read, listened and watched how...

Okay, thanks Alex. Here in Europe, the prices tend to be listed with tax and all the other silly fees, so one typically pays less than the listed price. 10% under listing price would be a good deal...

I did quite a lot of mountain biking before I got my Ninja. In 2008 I mostly did 8+ hours a week. Last year I kinda neglected that hobby though in favor of my motorcycle, but I'm aiming to do more...

Kawasaki.com lists the US MSRP for the 2010 250R at $4299. Shouldn't the cash out the door price be even lower than that? o_O

I always feel excited and happy on my 250R. I don't drive aggressively all the time, but I do love to quickly accelerate. When I drive in my Peugeot 206, I feel tamed and don't even try to drive fast.

Haven't run out of gas yet - as soon as the orange "low fuel" indicator goes on (the fuel injected 250R models don't have a fuel gauge), I get paranoid. The most I've ridden with one tank was about...

That's a ZX6R though, not a 250R.

I'm a quite conservative with RPMs when riding through town (~3-6 k RPM) because my exhaust is rather loud. And my commute to work is fairly short (<10 km), barely long enough for the oil to reach...

Got about 9500 km (5900 miles) on my IRC tires (stock on my 2009 250R), and they've still got quite a bit of tread left. The rear is getting a bit flat in the middle, but front is still very round. ...
