Introduction
Ninja 250R, introduced by Kawasaki Motors in 1983 and the most charismatic 250cc sports bike in its segment, has finally made its mark India. The lightweight Ninja 250R has Supersport styling, a very rider-friendly engine, excellent performance and an amiable chassis.
Engine
Powered by a 249cc liquid cooled, parallel twin, DOHC petrol engine, the Kawasaki Ninja 250R has a power of 32bhp at 11000 rpm with the maximum torque of 22 Nm at 8200 rpm. The Ninja 250R sports a revised six-speed transmission for smoother shifting and works on a more durable clutch along with a new radiator that provides better cooling without adding extra weight to the bike.
The refined engine of Ninja 250R delivers smooth, step-free power improving low- and mid-range power to offer dynamic rider-friendly response. The combustion chamber has been designed in a way that optimizes combustion efficiency and reduces emissions.
Though this bike is available in 4 colours in the global markets, Bajaj has launched it in only two colours in India - Lime Green and Ebony Black.
Bajaj will be importing the Ninja 250R in CKD (Complete Knock Down) to make the bike more affordable in Indian market. The starting price of Ninja 250R in Chennai and Delhi start from 2.69 lakhs.
Design
Ninja 250R brings forth sharp handling and crisp dynamics - something that the Indians have been craving for from a very long time. Putting on a complete fairing with large plastic and steel parts, the Baby Ninja gives a very aggressive look when cast a look at the head with dual-lamp headlamp.
The rear view mirrors that are mounted on the smart fairing gel with the overall look of the bike. A black tinted windscreen, sandwiched between the rear-view mirrors, protects the rider from wind blast. The front turn indicators give an addictive look and enhance the machismo look of the bike. Ninja 250R comes complete with 6 spoke black alloy wheels with racing strips at the rim. The slim and sharp protection cover gives a sporty look to the tail part. Adding to the attraction of the Ninja 250R is the step-up seat at the back.
The instrument cluster of the Ninja 250R including the speedometer, odometer, trip meter and tachometer are a downer as they all come in the analog format. However, the cluster comes with the warning lights such as low oil, low fuel, choked air filter, high oil temperature and low battery indicators
Ride And Handling
With the top speed of 176kmph, the Ninja can accelerate up to 100kmph at 5.75 seconds. As claimed by Bajaj, the bike gives a mileage of 42.5kmpl. The 6-speed gearbox of Kawasaki Ninja 250R reduces friction while shifting the gears under power, making the ride smooth as butter. The paper-base friction plates help increase clutch durability.
Enhanced by the well designed dual catalysers, the bike meets the strict emission standards. To provide a steeper steering without compromising the wheelbase when mated with a longer swing-arm, Ninja 250R rests a new diamond-type frame made of high tensile steel. Compared to the 2008 model of Ninja 250R, the fork is larger and stiffer and with revised settings.
Ninja 250R features an excellent braking performance powered by a balanced action two-piston caliper and large 290mm front hydraulic discs further enhance the stopping power. The rear features two-piston caliper grips with 220mm petal disc.
