Hi everyone, First a little background on my motorcycling I have ridden RX-100, YBX, CBZ and currently have royal enfield electra, I am more of a tourer less of a speed and cornering junkie and like to cruise at a comfertable 80-100 kmph band.

I am now thinking of upgrading myself from classic bullet to a more modern sports tourer and have only the two ninja brothers on mind the 250 and 650.
price difference is not a criteria,as this would be my first fully faired bike with fuel injection, faster acceleration and many other goodies so what is the best bet a cautious entry into this league with a 250 or a direct cc upgrade from 350cc bullet to a 650cc Ninja

The bike will be used for touring and city riding both though mostly touring

please give your advice so I can reach to a decision.

thanks and regards
Saurabh

Budget not a concern? Buy the 650 man!

+1 I would say that 650 is more of a tourer than its younger sibling. And since touring is your priority go for it!

Ninja 250 is not a tourer
Ninja 650 is not available

Since you have both in option, I suppose budget is not an issue. Still I would suggest, for the 250R. You need to learn to walk before you learn to run. Happy shopping!

satyen bhai kabhi to available hogi

saurabh.jain

that's exactly my concern but contrary opinion voiced here is that 650 is a better tourer

satyenpoojary

Yes, but by then you would probably have the Triumph middle weight, the Honda middle weight, the Yamaha tourer, the New Pulsar, the KTM and so many more things! So whats the point of the thread na

The answer is 650, you have already done lot of 150 cc bikes to get easily adjusted to 650, Going to 250 wont make sense.

But now the Ninja 650 is not open for booking also, Only option in 650 is Hysong 650. Since you are a cruiser, maybe you could consider Harley superlow.
