Kawasaki Ninja 250

Kawasaki · 26 model years · 1994-2027 All Kawasaki models →

The Kawasaki Ninja 250 has been one of the most popular starter sportbikes for decades. The first versions, also known as the EX250 and GPX250, used a liquid-cooled 248cc parallel twin and were sold with few changes from the late 1980s until 2007.

A new Ninja 250R in 2008 brought modern sportbike styling, and a 2013 update introduced fuel injection and a new frame. The Ninja 250 continues in some markets alongside the larger Ninja 400. It is light, forgiving and cheap to run, making it ideal for new riders. Rivals include the Honda CBR250R and Yamaha YZF-R25.
