Bike size, new gen vs pre gen(zzr)
Hi!
I was just after a little information about how both bikes feel, I'm 6,3" 36" inseam and fit in the ninja 300 very well, have been told the ninja 250 would fit average but i could always gt drop pegs or rearsets. How is the zzr compared to the ninja 300 and the ninja 250? Thanks ahead of time |

They are all quite similar sizes and have similar riding positions. If you fit well on one, you'll almost certainly be comfortable on any of them; if you're not comfortable on one, the same applies.

The 300 and 250 have almost identical ergonomics. They should... they're basically the same bike, with tweaks.
zzr as in zzr600? Bigger bike. Wider. Heavier. Slightly higher/broader seat. Maybe a bit longer reach to the bars. Not a huge machine by any stretch, but I wouldn't call it "small." If you're comfy on a 300 you'll have no trouble. Probably won't need to mod it.

He's from Oz - the ZZR250 was that hybrid of the pre-gen mechanicals, with 17" wheels and a nicer looking fairing. US didn't get it, but AUS, Canada, and other parts of the world did.
