Ninja 250 owner

basementmt · February 12th, 2015, 07:36 AM

Hey guys, I have been following this forum for quite some time now and decided to introduce myself (and post some questions later).

I'm 31 years old from the island of Malta and I've just passed my unrestricted motorbike licence a few weeks ago. I've bought my first ever bike, a second hand green Ninja 250. I know it's a small bike but I thought it would be best to start off with a small bike until I get more experience and perhaps upgrade to something bigger.

Good to be here with this Ninjette community

Welcome Neil! Gratz on your lic and bike!

cuong-nutz · February 12th, 2015, 08:35 AM

Welcome! Enjoy the 250! It's a great bike that you really can't grow out of lol

Welcome to team green, Ninjette, an the wild world of motorcycling!

Roark · February 12th, 2015, 01:25 PM

You may think to upgrade your bike once you "outgrow" this one, but you'll likely find that wringing the neck and truly "riding" a Ninjette is much more satisfying than the sheer power of a 600cc/1000cc super sport..

In any case, welcome aboard!!

What year is your Ninja?

Welcome, and make yourself at home, sorry about the mess, it's the maids week off.

I've had small and big bore bikes, the small bore bikes as amazing, and extremely agile, leaving the bigger bores behind in the twisties for sure, assuming you and the bike are properly set-up.

cheers guys for the welcome! I just posted my first question in a different thread if anyone feels like giving his input:

My pleasure, to help others, and pass on my experiences, and knowledge. I'm active on several forums, mostly this one and EX500.COM. I find both very good and pleasant, let's face it there are some bad forums out there.

I love what your doing with yours, it's a worthwhile investment, and so very different from the others, keep it up, hope you hit that 200mpg mark, and beyond.
