This new ninja have good looking
still cannot beat zxr250
beleive it or not

ZXR-250 used to be my dream bike last time. But after hearing much about the maintainance cost I shudder and went for the KIPS150 instead. That is nice the ZXR can maintain a cruising speed of 140-160kmh. My 2-Stroke KIPS will jam piston if maintain that speed a long time.

nice!

the engine spec?

Among the 250 ninja, the ZXR250 will be the most "superbike" look and feel. Come with all the goodies but unfortunately with only 250cc and 4 cyclinder and heavy its power to weight ratio not that great.

Expect no more 40bhp from it! But because of its high rev nature the zxr250 does have more sound/show than go. It will have hard time to keep up with those 2 stroker racer is RS125 or worst of all rs250 or even the suzuki Gamma RGV250.

The new 250c ninja should be a 2 cyclinder design which is a very old design. I have the 2nd generation 250R Ninja back in 1990 when I was a college kid!

FUYOH ,, so COOL

i'm going to buy ZZR250 2nd mybe next month..i think i need a help and advice for all of u since i never buy any bike before..if ZXR250 broke on caburator,how much does it cost to repair or change to new 1?anyone?what should i consider if i want to buy this bike?maintenance quite high and pricy isn't it? and another question is how much do you think it cost me if i ride ZZR250 from KL to TRG?i mean the price for fuel?

there a guy wanted to sell his zx2 for RM10800 firm!
and only cash..
i dunno whether i can put the link here or not..
nanti cakap promote page lain..huhu..

Anyone selling this bike in Penang?

Found a dealership asking min. RM 13,000 for a heavily used '97 ZXR 250C, with 69,000km on the odo. That's pretty steep - but after test riding it, nearly bought it.

Side by side, the '08 250R is much more handsome and will definitely turn heads when parked next to all the other 110cc Lagenda's. But the ZXR250 will turn heads when going WOT from 0-100kph in less than 4 seconds. The sound is similar to a 600cc bike if not better.

If anyone is selling a newer one, or better condition/lower miles - I'd buy it.

my opinion .. save up a little more .. buy the new ninja250 .. at least its new and efi ..5 years trouble free if u maintain it well .. the downpayment around 6-8 if not mistaken . ok what ..

kl to trg . i would say rm30+ ? .. last time with cbr919 .. doing 200+ ... go to kuantan and back kl .. only rm30+ .. if ride fxr1510, around 40 from kl to kuantan .. huhu .. one way only ..


u can try check those sbk shop ..ask them . i forgot what the name . 11-14k is around normal price shop sells them ..

yes couldnt agree more .. more handsome .. not garang ... haha .. if garang, the zxr ... haha .. i sure u wont do that .. rumors has it that u can rev hard on 1st,2nd,3rd gears .. some results i see is broken valve stem..

haha that one i dont agree .. the sound is more like a jet on warmup.. most 600cc has like bass sound .. especially when they change mufflers .. but if use 'two brothers' the high rev does sounds like nyamuk abit .. HAHA

I lol`ed hard I always maintain 150 with my 2stroke KIPS even from Kedah to JB yet I jammed it coz of my own neglect (over mod it)

check out the Ghost Rider's Hayabusa !

zzr 250 come with 2 exhaust, 12valve, while zxr 250 come with 1 exhaust and 16 valve, tat's why the sound is more "garang"
besides, zzr seat is more flat(more comfortable) compare to zxr which is more to slope(putting most of the body weight on ur arms)
i personally prefer zxr,becoz of the look and sound..
but my mechanic told me,it's more expensive to maintain zxr than zzr
Year 95 zxr shud cost around 7-10k, zzr would be cheaper,but depends on condition as well, hope it help..

zzr is sport touring bike, while zxr is a superbike.Thats why they have different riding position. save u money a lil bit, and buy bigger cc bike instead. ZX7 still looks nice, average price around 17k(H & L ) to 33K(P). Anyway you can go to malaysianbikers.com.my to find used zx2.

my advice,
don't take zxr 250.i own it. over 2 years using it, still today using it, as daily use.from bukit mertajam to penang island, i got to say the FC is not good compare to other bike.mainttenance? same like other forumer said, at least spare 2 k in pocket when someting broke down. some one up there asking bout carburator, carburator itself cost half of the bike, y go buy, just service it.
beacuse it come wit 16 valve, and the valve size is just lil big from ex5 valve, it can patah or bend easy. my recommendation, go for new ninja 250r.
its free troble.

hmm .. i wonder who delete my post ..terasa la tu ... LOL

why?

yeap..the latest one use different type of engine. less powerful but more reliable. after all..it's only a 250 bike..entry level superbike..so no need to be powerful.

dunno .. i just said comparing a zxr with the ninja250 is like comparing an apple with a ninja .. doesnt make sense right .. today, i see that post deleted edi .. maybe cannot accept the fact that the old ninja and new ninja is different category ...

bro, ninja 250r is using carburetor la...

haha . sorry .. wasnt paying attention on the ninja250 .. was looking at the er6n ... 250 is underpowered for me ...

but ... here is what i get at wiki ...

Carburetion Keihin CVK30 (2), Constant velocity, diaphragm-type, Fuel injection for Europe and Thailand Euro/Thai model


anyway, i keep to what i said .. better buy the ninja250 ...its new .. with scheduled services, 4-5 years maintenance free .....
