2012 Kawasaki Ninja 650 Review
All-new Chassis, Bodywork and Improved Power Delivery Make the Best Mid-sized Sportbike Even Better
This practical sportbike features a raft of new technology and design elements, including a totally new perimeter-style frame, revised suspension, more angular bodywork, new instrumentation, improved engine performance, a more comfortable saddle, lower seat height and much more. It all starts in the engine bay, where an advanced, highly compact, liquid-cooled 649cc vertical twin works its magic with help from a digital fuel injection system featuring 38mm throttle bodies and sub-throttle assemblies for optimum response and precise fueling. This has always been a brilliant streetbike engine – torquey, smooth, and blessed with impressive top end performance, yet enough satisfying low- and mid-range oomph to please novices and experts alike. Figure in the Ninja 650 engine’s estimated 50-mpg* fuel economy, precise fuel injection and its pleasing twin-cylinder throb, and you’re looking at what just might be the most flexible and satisfying streetbike engine on the planet.
Pull away from a light and the 650’s torquey engine, light-pull clutch and perfect throttle response make quick work of the job. Experts will love the new Ninja’s powerful yet flexible engine, modern suspension, disc brakes and nimble handling.

2009 Kawasaki Ninja 500R

Exciting two-wheel fun, practical two-wheel efficiency

Practicality is the Kawasaki Ninja 500r biggest asset as it strikes an ideal balance between function, form and budget that’s rarely achieved in the sport bike world. A sensible sportbike, the 500R is ready to rip, yet remains friendly enough for beginners to feel confident in its manners.

At the heart of this excellent platform is the Ninja 500R’s 498cc liquid-cooled, parallel twin-cylinder four-stroke engine. With dual overhead cams and four valves per cylinder, the robust motor is both beginner-friendly and rousing to expert riders. No slouch, this half-liter engine has enough gusto to let novices expand their skills and keep even the most seasoned riders quite happy exploring the upper end of its rev range.

Letting the high-performance engine live to its full potential is a lightweight and compact design. One of the major selling points for the Ninja 500R is its great-handling enabled by its large-diameter 37mm fork tubes and UNI-TRAK® rear suspension system utilizing a progressive linkage similar to the larger-displacement Ninja models. With the motor and chassis combo, the bike begs to be taken out on twisty back roads.

And the Ninja 500R also shares the same sporty styling of its bigger siblings, with an aerodynamic half-fairing that provides wind protection for the rider and is stylishly complemented by a lower fairing

Many say that the Kawasaki Z250 is Kawasaki Ninja 250 FI, is that true? Lets look together.

When viewed in terms of machinery and technology, two bikes have the same engine and technology. In the specification, Kawasaki Z250 and Ninja 250 FI engine powered with 249cc DOHC parallel twin, carburetion system injection, 11,3:1 compression ratio, up to a six-speed transmission.

Also we can see, Kawasaki Z250 not use fairing, and has a sort of Shroud engine cover, which looks like the "Z" letter.

So, the Kawasaki Z250 and Kawasaki Ninja 250 FI, only different aesthetically and in terms of models and functions only. In specification, both these motorcycles have the same engine.

I saw something unusual, you may not believe that the above picture is the famous motorcycle kawasaki skyrocketed enough, this is a true friend Kawasaki Ninja 250 is modified so that it becomes very fantastic shapes, heres a quote I read from autos.okezone.com.

The consideration, in addition to easy to modify the model, supporting accessories are also already widely available in the market. But Studio Custom Motor Bike try to present something different through the Kawasaki Ninja 250 Flat Traker epithet.

Modifications are carried not too extreme but makes the Ninja has the character of a very powerful naked bike and look sexy. The whole body of the original "pellets from Japan" is taken off and replaced with new clothes. Anyone who sees this bike certainly not be surprised if this Ninja 250.

External appearance look more frightening to doff the green color cast. While the sector whitewash yellow gold frame to support the view outside.

It seems that this bike is only for the rider alone. This can be seen from the seat of the model adopted for the single seater. An interesting look at the lighting sector, naked Ninja uses HID lamps are picked from the Toyota Rush. The lamp is placed in the right shockbreaker.

In order to look increasingly beyond the maximum, then the racing part was trying to smell like a foot step followed X-Race, K & N air filter and exhaust alerts Leovince SBK racing.

Attendance All new Kawasaki Ninja 250 in my opinion obviously has to compete with Honda 250cc bike, the CBR 250R. Now the all-new Kawasaki Ninja 250 has particularly what is owned by Honda CBR 250R, such as the injection system on the engine and ABS braking system. Overall All new kawasaki ninja 250 has an aggressive design, this course can increase competition within the CBR 250R.

Also all-new Ninja 250 has a composition of 2-cylinder engine with 8-valve DOHC. In Indonesia, the machine with such a configuration, it is still perceived prestige than the 1-cylinder engine used in the CBR 250R. Surely the engine 2 - cylinder can result in higher speed performance than the single cylinder. It turns out that power is owned by the all-new Ninja 250 is greater than the CBR 250R, the all-new Ninja 250 to 32 hp at 11.000rpm, of 6.3 hp is larger than the CBR 250R. But the torque generated kawasaki all new ninja 250, is greater than the CBR 250R, which is only 21 Nm at 10.000rpm, or lower 1.9 Nm. And the weight of the bike was lighter CBR 250R, rather than all-new Ninja 250.

But the formula is not absolute. We also need to know the ratio of weight versus power and torque have both. However CBR 250R is lighter weight than all-new Ninja 250. In the all-new Ninja 250 has a weight of 174 kg, while the CBR 250R only with a weight of 165 kg, so the ratio of power versus weight of all new ninja 250, better than the CBR 250R. All-new Ninja 250 produces 0.18 hp / kg, while the CBR 250R only 0.15 hp / kg.

How where price competition from both the 250cc bike? It turns out that the posted price for the all-new Ninja 250 is RP.56,900.000 (ABS) and Rp.49,900.000 (non-ABS), so the price of all new Ninja 250 is more expensive than the CBR 250R, with a ratio of Rp.10.000.000. For me Rp.10.000.000 is no small amount.
