Hey, if you’re going to get the Kawasaki Ninja 250, good on you! I had one back in the day and I sold it when I decided to go back to Japan for a while. I still miss it and getting a motorcycle is on my list once again. As a small cc enthusiast I’m really excited that you’re getting a 250. I might add that you might want to check out the Honda CBR250R as well. It seems to be getting good reviews and if I were to pick up a bike tomorrow, I would do a little comparison. :-) Anyway, motorcycling is really a blast and I hope you have safe fun. PS – Don’t forget to take the MSF safety course. Saves you on insurance AND it’s very useful.
