I mean dont get me wrong I will take a ninja 250r over the cbr250r any day but there are some things on the honda that kawasaki needs to copy FI being the 1st. second a better intrument cluster. the ninjas looks kinda cheap, I did like hondas. but I think if kawasaki doesnt pull it together next year they will get hit with more people buying the honda. they have had the monopoly in this catagory for 20 years I am sure they think that the cbr250 will flop and they will stop producing it. from what I read the cbr is more of a super beginers bike. its like the military idiot proof lol the ninja takes more skill to ride from what every magazine article says haha but still the ninja 250r is way easy to ride. but again I think honda will put a big push on kawasaki and they will be forced to change. who knows maybe they will put FI in the 2012s mid year, doubtful but I can dream of having my FI ninja haha, but for sure it wont be to long before they put it in on their own or C.A.R.B. will force them too...and then the ninja 250 will be 6k base price I hope not but it might be.
You do know that some Ninja 250r's have fuel injection right? Like mine. They all come that way in England.

The instrument panel doesn't look that fancy, but I quite like it - it does the trick! I do actually find it a bit difficult to focus on the needles sometimes though. The needles should stand out more.
