is ninja250R is a superbike ar..or can say begineer supersports bike? compare to Aprillia RS250 .my favourite bike .hehe lightpower to weight ratio.sweet high pitching sound more higher more nice.
no its not.
you see, the 250R was made to look like a sports bike. Nothing wrong with that.
But its still a 2 cylinder 250cc with a very casual riding position.
I dont have pictures but if you look at the power band and torque graph you will see that this bike is meant for city riding/confort/easy to use power.
This bike is not actually new, its one of the latest in the ZZR family.It had many names all over the world,
Ex250, GPZ 250, ZZR 250
But rest assured, its not a superbike.
Alot of people argue what actually is a superbike.
in summary, superbikes are:
1. bikes that are for racing ONLY and MUST have a road version.
2. if 2 cylinder (850-1200 cc) if 4 cylinder (750-1000 cc)
3. must be 4 stroke engine.
example,
a Yamaha R1 is a road bike. You can modify it extremely and put it into the superbike category (take out silencer, take out lights, take out mirror etc etc)
You know MotoGP? These bikes are not for the road and do not have a road version. They are NOT superbikes because they are considered different. Yamaha M1 is a bike only made for the MotoGP.
Something like F1 racing. F1 car is not the same as Supercar correct or not?
