2011 Kawasaki Concours 14

Speed and stability are the calling cards of the 2011 Kawasaki Concours 14 ABS, but there is much more to this cousin of the Ninja ZX-14 hyperbike than that.

Extremely comfortable over the long, fast haul, the Concours 14 ABS features dual-mode K-ACT linked anti-lock braking system, as well as Kawasaki's KTRC traction control (which can be switched off, if desired).

Even with a claimed curb weight of 688 pounds, the Concours 14 ABS is a sporting machine, as long as the corners don't get too tight-in high- speed sweepers, it's magic.

2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R Ninja

For 2011, Kawasaki completely redesigned its flagship and have made it smaller, lighter, and considerably more powerful.

Upping the ante to 197 horsepower (EPA watchdogs are rumored to have forced Kawasaki into a 20 horsepower reduction for America), the big Ninja has class-topping rider customizable traction control, an instrument display switchable between street and track settings, and ABS.

With a stacked gearbox, the all new-engine is even more compact than its predecessor; a completely new chassis and longer swingarm transforms handling too. Standard equipment is a Bosch developed multi- sensor racetrack ABS that only adds seven pounds in weight.

Comfortable ergonomics on a faired superbike? Yes, it seems to be true for Kawasaki in 2011. If you like upright bikes, but don't like naked bikes, then the all-new Ninja 1000 will be just the ticket.

Essentially Kawasaki's futuristically styled (and polarizing) Z1000, but with a full fairing and conventional looks, the Ninja 1000 promises to be a real-world superbike for the street.

The 41mm male-slider forks and 300mm petal brake rotors handle the braking, while power comes from a 1043cc, DOHC, liquid- cooled, 16-valve long-stroke inline-four.

Review Kawasaki Ninja 250R

 Kawasaki Ninja 250R

The Kawasaki Ninja 250r is the ultimate starter motorcycle for a new rider. It's nimble, light, and gets great gas milage. Although the look of it may be a bit 'aged' compared to some of the newer style of 600cc motorcycles, I personally think that the bike holds its own aesthetically... especially the 2007 black color scheme. I think you will be hard pressed to find another 250cc machine that looks as good and handles as well.

UPDATE: Be sure to check out the 2008 kawasaki ninja 250 review! The new version of the bike rocks!

Kawasaki Ninja 250R Front Side

This Ninja is powered by a 248cc, 4-stroke, parallel twin, DOHC, engine that puts out quite a bit of power for being just under 250cc's. It can run the 1/4 mile in 14.6 seconds at 88mph which isn't as fast as other larger displacement bikes, but I think this is more than enough for the real world. For comparison the 2003 Acura 3.2CL Type-S will run the quarter mile in 14.9 seconds, so as you can see this little ninja can beat a lot of imports off the line. The 250R can hit 60mph in 5.75 seconds, which is just as fast as the the 2002 Subaru ImprezaWRX which can hit 60mph in 5.7 seconds. Although I don't recommend drag racing, this little ninja is no slouch!

Something that makes this motorcycle really fun is its 14,000 rpm redline; it's a real screamer when you take it on the highway! The ninja really loves being wound up to 9,000 rpms, and at around 10,000 you can really feel it start to grip the asphalt. Even though this motorcycle is fully faired (meaning it is covered by plastic sides to protect agains the wind), the motorcycle is so light that you will get blown around quite a bit at 65mph, and even more at 80 mph or 90 mph. This isn't entirely a bad thing, it just takes a little getting used to.

This motorcycle is great for the shorter rider! If you are only a few inches over 5 foot then you will think this motorcycle is a godsend compared to other 600cc bikes. Even if you are shorter than that I'm sure that if you shave the seat down a little you would be very comfortable on it. On the other hand I personally know of a few 250 riders that are around 5'9''-6'3'' and they have never had any problems with this bike. (Usually these are the tall skinny type of guys so if you are more than 250 lbs I would probably recommend going for the Suzuki GS500 or the Kawasaki Ninja 500, which have a little more horsepower).

Kawasaki Ninja 250R Top Side

 

Finally the best thing about the Ninja 250, in my opinion, is how inexpensive it is to own and maintain. There is a myth that motorcycles are much cheaper to ride than buying a car. This may be true for the initial purchase (with the average 600cc motorcycle being less than $10,000 and your average car being over $15,000) but once you add in tires, maintenance, motorcycle gear, insurance etc., the price of riding a motorcycle quickly climbs to much more than a car. The type of motorcycles that started this myth were most likely bikes just like the Ninja 250. Not only is it cheap to buy (at around $3,000 brand new), but it also gets as much as 60 miles to the gallon! The reliability of the Ninja is simply fantastic and will continue to run tens of thousands of miles with just oil changes and new tires. Even if you do run into some trouble, the Ninja 250 has had few mechanical adjustments since the late 80's; which means that parts for this motorcycle are EVERYWHERE!

So if you want one of the cheapest forms of transportation that can take you on surface streets and freeways, then the Kawasaki Ninja 250R fits the bill!

Pros:

Small and nimble.
Gets about 50 miles per gallon!
Very forgiving to new rider mistakes.
Inexpensive! (brand new around $3,000)

May get blown around more on a windy day than your average 600cc.

Kawasaki Ninja 250R Stories
 

The Kawasaki Ninja 250R (previous generations had market-specific names) is a motorcycle originally introduced by Kawasaki in 1983. As the marque's entry-level sport bike, The motorcycle has undergone few changes throughout its quarter-century lifetime, having received only two substantial redesigns.

Nomenclature

The fourth-generation model is marketed as the Ninja 250R in all markets. The motorcycle is also referred to by its platform designation, EX250, to which a generational suffix is attached. In the United States, previous generations of the bike (EX250-E/F/G/H) were already being marketed as members of the Ninja family of sport bikes, while outside of the U.S. the bike was known variously as the ZZR-250, ZX-250, or as the GPX-250R. One of the earliest generations, the EX250-C, was given the name GPZ-250.

Description and features 

The Ninja 250R's particular ergonomics, chassis design, and engine placement have resulted in a motorcycle that straddles the standard and sport classes. The Ninja's riding posture also falls somewhere between standard and sport. The bike is capable of running the quarter mile in 15.58 s @ 81.98 mph (131.93 km/h), although it had been 1 s faster in the prior generation, while providing the amenities of more utilitarian motorcycles, including bungee hooks for transporting cargo and space for a second passenger.

The latest model, the EX250-J or fourth generation, brought the Ninja's first major update in many years. Appearance upgrades included 17-inch wheels and completely redesigned fairings which give the motorcycle a sleeker, more modern appearance.

First generation

The first generation was produced between 1983 and 1984, and known by the production number EX250-C. It was sold as the GPZ-250. Sold only in its home market of Japan, this earliest, belt-driven version was first produced in 1983, and shares no commonality with later generations. The bike has 35mm fork tubes.

Second generation

Produced between 1986 and 1987 was the EX250-E. This model was sold as the Ninja 250R in Canada and the U.S. between 1986 and 1987. It was known as the GPZ-250R elsewhere. When originally introduced, it was more costly than the Honda Rebel, and reviewers complained that while the 14,000 rpm redline was nice, the engine was slow to rev.

Third generation

 

Production 1988–2007 

  




Kawasaki GPX 250 Display, Model: 1993

For the 1988 model year, there were both cosmetic changes and changes in engine tuning. While the bore and stroke, and other major engine components, were unchanged, minor tuning adjustments were made. The carburetor diameters were reduced 2 mm to 30 mm (1.2 in), the cylinder compression ratio was increased from 12.0:1 to 12.4:1, ignition timing advance was increased, and the rear sprocket was increased by three teeth to 45. Reviewers reported that this made the engine more free-revving, reaching the high 14,000 redline more quickly, and the tested top speed increased by a few miles per hour. The new, more fully enclosed bodywork was complimented for being stylish, at the time, and easily mistaken for the larger Ninja 750.

The third generation of production of the Ninja 250 encompassed three models:

• EX250-F - The most widespread EX250 variant, the E model was completely revamped and sold as the F model between 1988 and 2007 in the United States. Canada received the model between 1988 and 1999, and it was available elsewhere as the GPX-250R as early as 1987.

• EX250-G - Sold only in its home market of Japan, this version was known as the GPX-250R-II. It featured dual front brakes and a wider wheel and tire (110/80-16). All other parts were identical to the -F model. It was sold after 1988.

• EX250-H - This model came to Canada as the Ninja 250R between 2000 and 2002, after which it received a new name: ZZR-250, in line with the -H model's name elsewhere in the world, where it had existed since 1992. This motorcycle has few parts in common with the -F model, though it shares the same engine, albeit with different casings. It sports a lateral aluminum frame, a different fairing (designed to make it look sportier), larger 17-inch wheels, an adjustable rear shock absorber, adjustable brake and clutch levers, a smaller drive sprocket, computer-controlled timing advance, and a revised electrical system.

Fourth generation 

Production since 2008

In 2008, Kawasaki gave the EX250 its most thorough modernization in many years. The EX250-J model is known as the Ninja 250R worldwide, regardless of market.

Parts from the third generation are still found on the -J, but its redesigned exterior panels bring the Ninja's appearance out of the 1990s and into line with late-2000s sportbikes. The engine and drivetrain retain 30% of the -F model's parts, according to Kawasaki. The engine's compression and maximum torque have been lowered to provide better midrange performance. The redesign of the engine resulted in improvements in engine response at low engine speeds, and making the bike smoother and "much easier to ride." Though the previous generation Ninja 250 had a peak power advantage of 1 to 5 hp (0.75 to 3.7 kW), the new version's 20 or 30 percent increase in mid-range power allows the bike to pull from 3,000 rpm where previously it had to be revved to 4,000 rpm. The U.S. -J model uses dual carburetors like the -F model, but the European, Brazilian and Thai models have fuel injection. The wheels were increased in size to 17 inches, the front suspension was improved, and the brake rotors were replaced with a larger petal shape. On the carbureted version, a fuel gauge was added in place of the temperature gauge. With the additional and redesigned equipment, the EX250-J suffered a 10 kg (22 lb) increase in wet weight over its predecessors.

With the arrival of the EX250-J, manufacturing continues to be located in Thailand.

Motorcycles

Main article: Kawasaki motorcycles

Kawasaki's Aircraft Company began the development of a motorcycle engine in 1949. The development

was completed in 1952 and mass product ion started in 1953. The engine was an air-cooled, 148 cc, OHV,

four-stroke single cylinder with a maximum power of 4 PS (2.9 kW; 3.9 hp) at 4,000 rpm. In 1954 the

first complete Kawasaki Motorcycle was produced under the name of Meihatsu, a subsidiary of Kawasaki

Aircraft . In 1960 Kawasaki completed construct ion of a factory dedicated exclusively to motorcycle

product ion and bought Meguro Motorcycles.

All-Terrain Vehicles and utility vehicles

Kawasaki's first ATV was the three-wheeled KLT200, which debuted in 1981. Its first four-wheel ATV, the Bayou 185, was int roduced in 1985 and in 1989 its first model with four-wheel-drive, the Bayou 300 4x4. Today, Kawasaki’s ATV line-up includes a wide range of recreat ional and ut ility ATVs.

Kawasaki's MULE (Mult i-Use Light Equipment) ut ility vehicle combines an ATV with a pick-up t ruck, The first MULE was produced in 1988.

Watercraft

In 1973, Kawasaki int roduced a limited product ion of stand-up models as designed by the recognized

inventor of jet skis, Clayton Jacobsen II.[2] In 1976, Kawasaki then began mass product ion of the JS400-A.

JS400s came with 400 cc two-st roke engines and hulls based upon the previous limited release models. It became the harbinger of the success Jet -Skis would see in the market up through the 1990s. In 1986

Kawasaki broadened the world of Jet Skis by introducing a two person model with lean-in "sport" style

handling and a 650 cc engine, dubbed the X-2. Then in 1989, they int roduced their first two passenger "sitdown" model, the Tandem Sport (TS) with a step-through seat ing area. In 2003, Kawasaki celebrated the Jet Ski brand by releasing a special 30th anniversary edit ion of its current stand-up model, the SX-R, which has seen a revival of interest in stand-up jetskiing. The X-2 has also been updated, based on the SX-R plat form and re-released in Japan. Kawasaki cont inues to produce three models of sit -downs, including many four-stroke models. The four st roke engines have come on since the late 1990s; with the help of superchargers and the like the engines can output up to 250 horsepower (190 kW) as seen in the Kawasaki ultra 250x.

Jet Ski is the brand name of personal watercraft manufactured by Kawasaki. The name, however, has become a genericized t rademark for any

type of personal watercraft .

Racing

Kawasaki's first t it le was with Dave Simmonds in 1969 when they won the 125 cc World Championship.

Kawasaki dominated the 250 cc and 350 cc grand prix classes from 1978 to 1982 winning four t it les in

each category.

Kawasaki has also won several superbike racing championships. They won the rider's Superbike World

Championship in 1993 with Scot t Russell and several AMA Superbike Championships with riders such as

Eddie Lawson and Wayne Rainey. During the 1990s they also dominated the Endurance World

Championship.

With the int roduct ion of the four-stroke engines into MotoGP in 2002, Kawasaki decided to take part in

the new MotoGP World Championship. Kawasaki entered the championship in 2003 with 250 cc Grand Prix racer Harald Eckl's Team Eckl.

In 2007 Kawasaki split from Harald Eckl because of Eckl’s involvement with a compet itor's MotoGP act ivit ies, which forced Kawasaki to

terminate the relat ionship immediately.[3] Kawasaki formed Kawasaki Motors Racing, a European subsidiary of Kawasaki Heavy Indust ries

responsible for managing the racing act ivit ies of the MotoGP team and any other motorcycle racing act ivit ies Kawasaki may enter in the future.

For the first t ime since Kawasaki returned to the premier class of motorcycle racing, the team became a complete ‘in house’ factory team.

Kawasaki's t radit ional racing colour is green

On January 9, 2009, Kawasaki announced it had decided to "... suspend its MotoGP racing act ivit ies from 2009 season onward and reallocate

management resources more efficient ly". The company stated that it will cont inue racing act ivit ies using mass-produced motorcycles as well as

support ing general race oriented consumers.
