Texan entering the fray.

Rugby Winger · May 28th, 2013, 09:52 PM

A simple hello to the 250R faithful out here. I have a 2010 Kawasaki Ninja 250R. I bought the bike last week and brought it home tonight. It was $3000 cheaper than a brand new 300 out the door which I was also considering but it came down to the fact that the 250R would be a bike I would be pleased to own everyday and the 300 would just make me vomit every time I see it in my garage. So yeah, that's all. There is really nothing interesting about me except that I play rugby.

Here's a picture of the bike tonight in the garage.

It's ugly to me and it looks like tries too hard. I mean I understand the concept of making it look like the rest of the bikes but its sharp edges and lines for a entry level bike looks unappealing. The 250R is in a generation in my opinion which is more curvier yet sporty. I think that look in general suits an entry level sport bike. It looks like the rest of the Ninja family of its time yet it doesn't look like its trying to be tough. The 300 to me is ugly. It would make me vomit.

Lol, no it isn't at least for me. It's rightside up because the wheels are on the bottom. I believe that is the particular side they should be even in real life.
