THE WORLD'S FASTEST 250CC PRODUCTION BIKE

So, you thought Yamaha R15 was the ultimate…! It’s just a matter of time now before you could step into a Bajaj Pro-Biking showroom, the exact same place where you get Pulsar 200 and 220, and ride off on the fastest 250cc production bike in the world. Yes, it is official that the first bike from the Kawasaki stable will be this - the awesome new 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R.Yes, the all new Kawasaki Ninja 250R is perhaps the biggest beast that would be ruling the Indian roads in the very near future. Bajaj plans to launch this monster by December, 2008. the Kawasaki Ninja 250R is the world’s fastest 250cc production bike with a massive 33bhp raw power.

Most of Kawasaki’s sports bikes now have petal discs. The Ninja 250 is no exception. The rear disc is a 220mm dia and complements the front quite well. 33PS of power is laid down via a 130mm tubeless tyre mounted on a 17inch alloy. The seating posture of the 250 is sporty, yet comfortable. This can be attributed to the raised handle bars and not so aggressively positioned rear-sets. The front fairing should provide good wind protection. Step rear-seat and a huge tank add to the sporty stance of the bike. Fuel capacity stands at 17.5-litre.

The front of the Ninja 250 seems to have taken cues from other Kawasaki bikes like the bigger Ninja 650R. Fairing mounted RVMs look well and seem to be quite functional as well. The Ninja 250 should appeal a lot to the enthusiasts as it’s one of the best looking 250s even in the international market.A 250cc, liquid-cooled parallel twin may come with fuel injection too (FI isn’t introduced in all the markets). Maximum power is rated at 33PS (at 10,500rpm), while max torque stands at 21Nm (at 8,500rpm). With a weight of 152kg, the bike should easily do a 6-7 sec 0-100km/h with a top speed in the region of 155-160km/h. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox and should help put down the power on the road in the best manner possible. The engine performs well on the fuel efficiency front as well and should return around 20-22kmpl in normal city riding.
