Cons: Difficult break in period, just not as cool looking as bigger bikes
Summary: Although all of Kawasaki's demo pics of the 250 show women riders with mile-wide smiles, I'm a male and love the thing to death. This is the first bike I've owned, and I couldn't be happier. I'm still finding out how quick the thing is, I've had it up ... read more
