Top speed is higher than 100 mph... i had one... and could get to 110 easily... but not 120... I am a begginer but have been riding dirt bike for 10 years I know totally different but i like the light weight of the 250r but am concerned of the top speed does a 2002 really do 80 mph cruising no bullcrap?

Yes, the ninja 250 will do 80 pretty much all day long at 9k rpms (redlines at 14k). Some folks swap out the front sprocket to 15 tooth to get the rpms down...which may be good if you're doing lots of highway miles.

[edit] Picture

Would be nice if the picture was a profile shot instead of the racing picture up there now. The current picture doesn't really show the bike. --Stephane Charette 07:12, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

This bike is being updated and changed for the 2008 model. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.213.209.2 (talk) 00:05, 14 September 2007 (UTC) Updates for 2008 will be known after the Paris Motorcycle show over the next week. Right now there are way too many unknowns about the bike to just toss up something. Patience.... Caferace 02:03, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I would say the picture of the 2008 Ninja at the Paris Show does a much better job of representing the motorcycle than does the picture of two racing bikes seen head-on; however, a picture of the 250 sans-showgirl might be better. Would it be possible to upload a Kawasaki promo image (http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Photos/2008_Ninja250R_Right.jpg) or is there no way to justify its inclusion in Wikipedia? I believe this would be an ideal image for the article. AniRaptor2001 (talk) 17:57, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

That image is not appropriate for use in Wikipedia, since an equivalent image with an unrestrictive licence could be produced without much effort. Mindmatrix 19:30, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Maybe something more like (http://abughrai.be/pics/geoff's%20bike.jpg)? I haven't seen any 2008 models in the wild yet. Ggreer (talk) 08:31, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi people, I own one of the 2008 models and have a bunch of pictures:

I own the copyright to all these images, and Wikipedia can use them on this page (I just don't know how to add them!). Anyway, if anyone needs any clarification please direct them to wikipedia[at]yeahnah.org (Ryan Allen) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.108.44.228 (talk) 22:41, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

This article has a picture of a Kawasaki ZXR-250 on the bottom. But that is a 4 cyl. 250cc bike. The Kawasaki_Ninja_ZX-2R already has its own page. So the image may not be appropriate for this article Bluesleeper (talk) 20:33, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
