Re: 08 ninja 250's
How do u guys like the new 08'+ compared to the older models?
And are the 03/04 forks a good idea? maybe because theres less weight in them
Saw a vid of a guy killin it on an older 250

Re: 08 ninja 250's
Thats whack tho...the new ones are supposedly 30 lbs heavier...given that still gives a claimed overall dry weight of 333lbs or something lol.

Re: 08 ninja 250's
i had a 07 when i was 15 and loved it. it doesnt have the looks of the 08 but its faster and handles better. somebody on here stunts a gs500 and honestly i think the ninja 250 is better bike than gs500.

Re: 08 ninja 250's
the 08' 250R is the only one I would even consider rocking full fairing...the rest would be down to bare bones and murdered out...
If I can find a 250R for cheaper than a scooter Im probally gonna pick it up.

For the streets would i want one? **** no...but for a lot only practice piece **** yea why not?!
Parts are all over the place for cheap as ****, and the bike itself can range as low as $500.

they are a wanna be sport bike
they are light and EASY as cake to ride like a dirt bike, yet they look like a street bike so people think they are hot **** when they can stunt one
I think they are fun to play around on, but they are about as cool as stunting a moped or dirt bike in my opinion

Re: 08 ninja 250's
The 250 ninja's a just good CHEAP fun, buy one salvage for about $1000, destroy it and part it out for $1200. Can't beat that. The 08 ninja is the same as the last million years ninja 250's, just different body and slight updates, the front end is still the same wooden junk. Basically they are just good, cheap trainers. Don't look for no cop killers here.
