this bike.. the sound is nice

100% agreed,cause last time my dad own this bike i think durring the early 90's,he sold it cause got some financial difficulties,i can still remember the sound of this man best machine,haha thats why now i wana grab hold of one.=D

Good bike..good sound...good power, but be gentle on her...

My friend used to have one of this, brought second-hand. Always ramp this bike and after using it for one years he broke the engine valves.

The repair bill cost him RM6500...

Good luck..

i dont think u can get new one. Now different model already.

U can scout for used ones at shops in Sentul area. Welly Selayang definitely will have 2 or 3 of these.

ahhh thx mait.

I don't think they have new one. they probably stop produce this 250 model.

2nd hand will cost your around 10k depends on year and condition.

get the 600 model one la.

looks old. maybe got latest version.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_Ninja_ZX-2R

If latest ver the sound nice or not cause not many 250 bikes comes close like the ZXR.thx btw.

This bike is very nice........
But please , need to know that this bike maintenance is same with superbike
The valve is small, need to know more about your bike
My friend bike is okay
No valve problem
I mean no broken valve
This is not superbike so dont over rev it always
Nive if you dont let your RPM be more than 10000 when you want to shift gear
1st geat just in short time, and dhift 2nd gear
Another gear if can make sure not more than 10000rpm when you shifting
No new production of this bike
THe new kawasaki nijna 250 is base model of zzr250
The sound also not same

ZXR250 still the best
USD fork, high rev , nice looking, low gravity rider position, and many more


Dont pulas habis this bike too long time
Or you will naik turun engine always

Recomended speed to cruise is 140-160kmj
Can try the top speed but dont too much
Normally can get 180-220kmj top speed
20 second is enough if you want to stay that speed.
Need to love ur engine.


Spare Rm2k to prepare if need to repair something when you buy it
Average price is RM8k-RM13k
I can help you to find the bike.
Where do u live?

The black ZXR biker has P or L lisence? lolz...look carefully at the back..

Thats L
Take B full
No need to take b2, and then upgrade
Its just wasting your money
THink it wisely
After this, when upgrading to 600 or 1000cc no need to upgrade license

yeap..agree. the bike is a bit fragile..dont rev it too much.

Added on June 11, 2008, 7:25 pmi think thats the only 250 bikes comes in 4 stroke,4cylinders and 16Valves..in 250cc engine? wow~

there is new 250cc sportbike launched recently. It's ninja 250r. Nice looking bike. And the price is around 20k. Quite cheap for 250cc bike

yes
600cc RM28k
250cc RM21k

looks good
cheap

how is the FC on this ZXR??

New Kawa 250R just launched 2days ago .. really nice looking bike with a price tag below 20K ..

THis is bae line model for ZZR250
Sport touring bike type

No garang sound like ZXR250( USD fork, Twin front Disc and big one , 4 piston )

New ninja, Single front disc,normal fork, mainly same like zzr250
but zzr250 already have superb history
this one is re birth

yeah.. last time i remembered, based on looks only, zxr250 seating position and tank shape is much more 'garang' compared to zzr250. Not sure about this new ninja though. If i were to go for the new ninja 250, i will consider the looks first.. if it's sporty like zxr250 then it should be good.

Just my 2 cents... last rode a bike was like 3 years ago.

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 .....

Yes, the sound is attracting...but once u put up ur fullface,n maintain at steady speed i think u wont hear the sound too much...i owned it for 1yr only. For me it was very tiring, can feel the pain in neck and arm, maybe my riding position was incorrect la. THe heat oso awesome, the weight could be killing too. Yes, like all Sifus said, maintenance quite scary when things broken,if normal services not much also la...(of cos if u wan to own this kind of bike, don't compare to Cub types, even a rear Cyrox 16 tyre could cost u Rm390, but if u think this is expensive, woooohhh then drop the dream of upgrading to bigger bike).

FC is not much oso, travelling around 100km (few mins jam) only cost me Rm7, i dono how this sound to u but for me is ok. But IMHO, go for ER6N better, btw m looking it too just lack of $$ n permission now. 250 is really underpowered, can't get much feel of wat so called SUPERBIKE, not even close to it. BY using Rm12k bought a 1997 yrs old machine, beter go for newer one (sound is not an issue as explained above). BTW, i was really regret of not getting a CBR F2 600, man it was just Rm24k during the time i bought tis zx2r.

Just my point of view, hope it helps n mohon maaf if offended anyone.

I have use the zxr250 for a year now and the advice I can parted is get a good condition one. If by luck you got a bang up one, $$$ Mine is the last production model and only registered in 2001 so lucky me Most model in the market is in 1997. Get a friend who knows and have ride a zxr250 before when you go shopping for one. If you ride 50/50 on the highway and city, zxr250 and the new ninja250r is the choice. I would recommended the Naza Blade 250r but due to lousy service from Naza and problems with the bike, I would say no to this bike.

The ER6N is a nice choice too but not so much in a city trafik. Nice looking bike with good speed. But still kena tapau at Ulu Yam and bukit tinggi by zxr250. Hehe!! Believe me when I tell you even R1 got tapau by zxr250 in sharp short corners. Will lose out when you are in highway only by the liter bike power.

Maintainance wise, every bike is the same. Take good care of it and it wont let you down. I have seen friends bike that look like sh*t and the owner said the bike is like sh*t. The truth is the owner treat the bike like sh*t. If you treat an R1 like that, it will look like sh*t too in no time.

Do a google of "zxrians" and you might find a big group of zxr riders. Hope this helps.

zx2 is good looking bike also good in FC
Its nice if kawasaki make a new production for zx2

tapau-menapau is depend on each bravery .. if you ride a R1 but scared-scared chicken to take corners .. even a mat rempit with rxz can tapau you.

ninja 250 is a good bike and better with after market exhaust system .. 'two brothers' system are my recommendation. it sounds even yummy than yoshi slip on muffler.

i've fren using zxr250 with shimano, shimana exhaust (something sound like tat pronounciation), damn nice the sound, event better than most of the ah beng's car exhaust...haha

below 20k is a good price

below 20k for the bike?

haha i agree .. he should go to the trackday at sepang .. those sbk get smoked at corners by kapcai .. haha ..

in my opinion, two brothers are meant to be with zx2 .. zx2 is a high revving bike and two brothers are like .. making it sounds more high revving .. LOL .. bassy on idle .. high pitch on high rev ... last time my cbr also use that muffler .. i like that muffler ..

haha .. comparing car with a bike .. dushh ... like comparing an apple with a ninja ..

but if bike wif those expensive car mufflers leh?

almost the same lor .. the sounds come from the high revving engine design .. the exhaust muffler just change it abit ..

it like a kancil putting a rm 30k exhaust system for a ferrari still sounds like shit ..

i also hope i can get 1 right now...
but...student ler..no $$$

slow slow .. who knows ..in another 2-3 years, they will start installing ZX9 or ZX14 here ...

You would dare use that bike if it was locally assembled?

haha .. i dont know .. we just see how their quality on the 2008/09 ER6N .. of ok, price reasonable, why not ..

If not okay. While moving at 250kmh the wheel cabut. Then.....

haha .. my fastest speed is 220kmh ... never did go more than that .. and if the quality is not good, why buy .. haha ..

i'v been on zxr 160km/h and zzr250 on 180km/h...
recently there's a honda 4stroke 150cc..tat one okay onot? price around 8k++

Good to be true
I really hope that

cbr150 ? dunno .. fore me underpowered like hell .. haha .. im too heavy ...

i oso ..

CBR150R looks too damn skinny....

but.....it can twist likea thunder

new ride at below 10k is like tat d lor...

ya lo...is like that

but really is not big size enuf for cbr 150...better save more money....

As for me that owned this bike for 3 years now....I got to say...

If you got extra penny,go for 500-600cc....no matter if it was old model or retro classic....since you will be suffered to upgrade for more "OMMPHH" like myself...

but instead all you spending goes to this bike & trust me,if you use the bike for weekend machine maybe its OK,but to use it as daily bike is killing your $$$ slowly & the maintainences can be a nightmare due to tiny part that rev like F1.....


The simptom is noticeable if you use it for long period without changing the engine oil...

Anything along the lines of 10w-40 to 20w-50 fully synthetic is needed for this bike to avoid false neutral,hard gear changes & perfomances

Now I running my bike with Sikollene syntethic oil...but it not really good when the temprature getting higher as my gearing for neutral always "missing",compare to last time when I use Q8 SBK Fully syntethic.

With tiny parts,especially valve & anything related to it....it definately needed to warm up the engine if the engine was cold....so the engine internal part can last longer....

Now its 3 year already & I detected my bike has blown the rear signal light,faulty starter(needed to "cluthcing" at right moment when pressing the starter)& the engine sound which is quite lousy at 8-9k RPM......

Its a good bike but if you like to trash it on track like me.....better make it as weekend bike or take 500-600cc sportbikes....it will be a good day for you for more than 3 years before you reach it potential top speed(which I have pushing my bike to its limit so many time & I desprate to upgrade oledi....)

hmm anyone know which model is this?


Attached thumbnail(s)

shud be zzr 250

lol. even the first time I trash ur zxr on the track I feel boring already

wow....bro, which ride u riding now?

thats why wannna upgrade now....

whats the market value?

depends year made and condition
i think around 5k-8k maybe

not really "riding" now physical condition does not allow me to do so

but now I own a ZX150, imagine almost same speed with ZX2 but with more insane cornering speed and throw-in

Yes...true dat!

I own both bike & trust me.....I get more feedback due to its lightweight & taller seat,& it still can ride comfortable at 160-170 to its best at 180 km/h(but to reach this speed the ZXR250 is better since there was little vibration in both chassis & handlebars,also at peak of 10k the ZX2 will have more lightness to reach it potential at 220-240km/h at 17-18k...)

But cornering wise,ZX150 do a better job since it was 2 stroke.....the only thing you need to worry is 2T pump...

other than that you can just snap the throttle at 3rd & highest gear for cornering without any worry since there is no silly smaller valve that cost you a $$$++ to repaired & replaced.....

all of the motor here not nice la .. RXZ also kasi masuk ka

why not RXZ is also a "motorcycle" not a jet ski right?

how about this 1??..................

whoah .. NSR SP .. nice nice ... used to love them ...

Honda NSR150RR with repsol and SP theme. In malaysia no real SP Repsol.....
150cc 2 stroke bike.

Added on November 15, 2008, 2:40 amWhy used to? Lol. Still nice bikes. If you can get ori 150SP you sure you wont keep it?

nop .. i already develop a 'hate mode' to 2 stroke bikes few years ago .. haha

Yeah....2 stroke kind of suck...but I still would keep the SP lolx.

ehem. what make u so sure?

there is at least 3 real NSR SP here in KL (if mat SP still stuck at UiTM, if not maybe he go back kelatan edi then only 2 in KL)

1 owned by an uncle living in Batang Kali---> also the 1st owner of CBR150 Thai version in KL
1 by mr Mat SP
1 I cant remember

of coz... all put Malaysian plate..but in fact..its a Thai bike

Aiya....not counted ler.

long time didnt hear about matsp .... the batang kali uncle, i think i know him . he also have a rvf400 thai plate .. but have problem with the starter . almost it from him . he wanna sell for 4k .. but that was around 4 years ago ..

btw, someone did mention putting zxr400 engine in a zxr250 chasis .. is that possible ? like 7-11 gsx project ?

yep. one chap ride an ZX2 with ZX4 engine while I`m doing trackday a few years back.

"look! ZX2! but why the sound more powerful?"

then u go watch the bike at main straight

"eh why the bike so fast man!!"

so its 2-4 zxr project .. interesting ... but .. where to get the zxr4 engine ?

edited : typo .. LOL

kedai potong lo...get a mivec one can fight CB400 VTEC

sorry i dunno Thai maybe

haha .. edited edi ....

yeah .. i mean where to get the engine .. i know i can get sbk engines from ebay motor us .. but shipping cost .. can pengsan ..

Thai sure got... I once saw a bike chop show on the way to Bangkok

ZX2 also can put Balius,ZR-4, & ZZR 400 engine if I was not mistaken...
