What is the 250r motorcycle?

[MacJames]

250r is the Kawasaki Ninja 250R motorcycle. Introduction to Kawasaki motorcycles: Kawasaki motorcycles are produced by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. of Japan, a company specializing in the manufacture of motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, multi-purpose carriers, multi-purpose four-wheeled vehicles, and personal watercraft. Kawasaki Heavy Industries began producing its first motorcycle engines in 1953, utilizing advanced development technology and manufacturing techniques gained from aircraft engine development to produce many iconic products such as the H1 (500SS Mach-III), Z1 (900 Super Four), Ninja (GPz900R), and more recently, the supercharged Ninja H2.

I ride a Kawasaki Ninja 250R, which is considered a pocket rocket in the 250cc class. The twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine delivers impressive acceleration, making it perfectly suitable for urban commuting, and it's also very agile for weekend mountain rides and cornering. The factory-fitted slipper clutch is particularly friendly for riders with smaller hands, making gear shifts effortless. With a seat height of 785mm, it's quite accommodating for beginners around 1.7 meters tall, though the stock suspension can feel a bit stiff over speed bumps. Fuel consumption is around 3.5 liters per 100km, and with a 14-liter fuel tank, it can cover nearly 400 kilometers. The bike has great modification potential, with many owners opting for Akrapovic exhaust systems or adding crash bars.

The driving school near my home uses Yamaha YZF-R25 as their training motorcycles. The instructor said this bike is particularly suitable for beginners to transition. Although the single-cylinder engine vibrates more noticeably than a twin-cylinder, its maintenance is much cheaper - just 200 yuan for an oil and filter change. The turn signals with built-in sequential lighting effect look pretty cool, and the LED headlights provide significantly better illumination at night compared to halogen lamps. The seat design with narrowed front allows both feet to firmly touch the ground at traffic lights. The only downside is that the rear seat is quite cramped for passengers, and the rear footpeg position is relatively high.

Last month, I helped my cousin pick out a Suzuki GW250, which is the practical choice among 250cc motorcycles. Its parallel-twin engine delivers ample low-end torque, making it effortless to climb overpasses even with a delivery box. The handlebars are 15cm higher than those on sportbikes, ensuring an upright riding posture that doesn't strain the back. The stainless steel exhaust is exceptionally durable—it hasn't rusted through even after five years of riding in our coastal city. The gear shift lever is designed to accommodate riding in leather shoes, so there's no need to bring special riding shoes for commuting.
