The new 250 ... sharp looks
Family values ... 250 clearly from the ZX gene pool
Ninja 250R ... dated but just £1500 new
THESE amateur shots appear to be of an all-new Kawasaki Ninja 250, which, if imported to Europe, could be called the ZX-2R.
The pictures were taken in Barcelona where the bike is being photographed in preparation for Kawasaki's marketing material.
The 'ZX-2R' could replace the Ninja 250R, a 248cc parallel-twin fourt-stroke sportsbike. Currently, we don't get the Ninja 250R in the UK, but it is available to the US market and hopefully the ZX-2R will be made available to the European market too.
The Ninja 250R retails to the US market at around £1500. Clearly, if the ZX-2R was launched with a budget price, it would be a hit for new and younger riders.
Let's hope Kawasaki bring this model to the UK and that other manufacturers follow suit.
