Hi all,

Just checking in as a newbie to the Ninjette Forum.

I'm a newbie to this forum, but not to riding, or to the Ninja 250... I've been racing a 2008 Ninja 250 for 4 seasons, and now riding a 2010 250 on the street also. I also coach new racers and riders for a local track-day company.

I happened to find this forum while browsing the web today, so thought I'd join to see what people have to say about the little bike.

Welcome fellow Eastbay rider what school do you teach at? Do I know you?

As far as what I have to say about the 250, well I still hate(don't know why) Kawasaki's but I love my 250.

I'm more of a Yamaha guy myself actually, but since the Ninja 250 is the only "fast" little game in town right now, I'm on a Kawasaki. I love the little bike for its ease of use, but I hate a few crappy-build-quality things about it (the transmission for example).
