Default 2008 Ninja 250....Test ride
I've been asked to test ride the 2008 Ninja 250 for Kawasaki.

They will pay me to test ride for 2 hours.

It should be a hoot!!

Awesome! I haven't heard of anybody actually riding the thing yet, it'll be nice to hear how it compares to the old school model...

Why, because you own so many Kawasakis?

I AM looking forward to actual riding impressions, particularly as far as roll-on performance. Like most, interested in the butt-dyno differences in power delivery new vs. old.

I'm no rocket surgeon, but I think it could be because many new sportbike riders are interested in the new Ninja 250. Just a hunch.

Because most new riders are looking at (or should) the new 2008 250.

I don't think the liter bike guys could give a rats ass about a 250. The 250 information makes more sense, and may help, in the new rider section.

Does this make sense to you?

Awesome. Let us know how it rides. I sat on one today and it is not bad. Much better in size than the CBR125R.
