Hola !
What made me to get Kwacker Baby?
I Previously owned Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS, Which helped me to cover lot of places. Planned to Upgrade bike and had a plans to get Premium segment Quarter litre bike. So, I classified the requirement. My Classification is very simple, the bike should be comfortable for touring, smooth engine performance and good styling. So, the choice of bikes I considered are as follows:
So, thought of buying 390 Duke but I want something Distinct and premium. So, I Considered Kawasaki Z250. Last Battle was between Duke 390 vs R3 vs Z250. As i said due to the recall of vehicle R3 was ruled out and lastly Duke 390 vs Z250.
The Search of Z250 Begins !
I contacted Kawasaki showroom chennai for test ride they said it is not available *Shocked* and in the search of reviews and blogs. Power drift, Overdrive, Autocar and motorbeam etc.
Heart vs Mind
Every Review Conclusion would be " It is good But Very Expensive for a 250CC Parllel twin". Most of Reviews said u should compromise on the money part to get this one.
My Heart was with Z250 but, mind was telling me to get Duke 390. Because Duke 390 is a good package overall. It has ABS, 43hp, Light weight, SLipper clutch, Fully Digital meter comprise of Kmpl and how much distance it would run with remaining Fuel and cheaper than Z250. At last Heart won the Battle.
What does the Z stand for?
“The Japanese word “Sugomi” describes the intense aura or energy given off by a person or object of greatness and felt by the viewer. Someone, or something, possessing “Sugomi” inspires awe, leaves an indelible impression, is imposing in stature or ability and commands respect. “Sugomi” can be seen in the crouching of a hunting predator as it gathers energy in preparation to strike, muscle tensing in anticipation, eyes locked onto its prey.” – from the Kawasaki website

My Classification is very simple, the bike should be comfortable for touring, smooth engine performance and good styling. So, the choice of bikes I considered are as follows:
- Ninja 300 - It very Expensive and eye catchy design and it is faired, has better performance.
- Benelli TNT 300 - Being new entrant to India. I was advised not to buy, But Inline two cylinder with IXIL Exhaust it sounds bloody impressive to buy.
- Yamaha R3- Actually about to book, but Yamaha announced to recall the bikes for clutch and oil pump malfunction.
- Mojo - Best for Touring and comfortable to drive. But i hate the design of the vehicle.
- Benelli TNT 25- Small brother of TNT 300, Single cylinder 25ps and good ride quality. As i Said it is new entrant.
- Duke 390- All terrain Vehicle, this vehicle was Value for money and technologically advanced from any other bike listed above. Excellent Riding quality with Metz tires.
So, thought of buying 390 Duke but I want something Distinct and premium. So, I Considered Kawasaki Z250. Last Battle was between Duke 390 vs R3 vs Z250. As i said due to the recall of vehicle R3 was ruled out and lastly Duke 390 vs Z250.

ENGINE & CLUTCH
BRAKES & TIRES Both the front and the rear brakes are sufficient and there is no ABS for the Z250. The front brake is rather very responsive even without the ABS. The front brake offers good stopping power. However, the rear brakes is also good. The Z250 comes with IRC road winners as standard which is really sufficient and offer good ride quality. It offers good grip but it doesn't heat up. On the corner the tires do struggle for grip but it’s easy to maintain the stability of the bike which is all due to the engineering done by Kawasaki. The bike is astoundingly well balanced making up for the tires. The ride handling is good in city and bike feels very comfortable in Stop go traffic. RIDING EXPERIENCE Z250 is the best City commuter i would say because you can ride this machine in 6th gear @ 30kmph. Once you hit the Highway it is a Bliss to ride this machine. It is sharp, its very agile and the turns are lightning quick. PROS
