Kawasaki Ninja 250R, Honda CBR250R & Hyosung GT250R - New Beginnings | 250cc Comparison Test

No longer the only fish swimming in the 250 sportbike pond, Kawasaki’s long-running Ninja 250R gets some competition from the new Honda CBR250R and Hyosung GT250R.For many beginners, learning to ride a street motorcycle can be an intimidating experience. There are a multitude of physical and mental tasks that must be handled simultaneously, and adding the power of even an older model multi-cylinder 600 (nevermind anything larger) will often overload the beginner’s abilities to the point of panic. This is why many countries require beginning riders to start off on nothing larger than a 250cc motorcycle; the 250’s small, easily manageable size and power allow the beginner to actually learn about proper throttle control, weight transfer, steering, gear-shifting, and other critical riding techniques much quicker than the misdirected and intimidated newbie tiptoeing around on a larger motorcycle.
