Dushyant has got his Black Ninja.

Hi all.. Just came back.. rode the Ninja.. My uncle got the delivery today.. I guess they started the delivery today in Pune...Nice machine...just awesome...

this thread is so gone off topic it may perhaps be better in the coffee lounge ..
would some one please actually tell us about the ownership experience...

+1

but First Light seems to be around the corner

They are too busy riding it!

Good to have fathers who buy Ninjas for their sons!

People say!!! What people? I saw the green. If I had the money, green all the way for me. And I went over 30 more than a decade ago! "People" saying all kinds of things took a long walk!

Sounds like sporadic delivery of babies!

I believe people DO NOT read the title of the thread before posting something. This thread is supposed to be the 'OWNERSHIP EXPERIENCE' thread for the Ninja 250R, while people are doing everything but that!

For anything else, there is a thread specifically dedicated to the Ninja 250R in the 'News' section, just so people know. This thread is being locked till the time someone (some owner!) actually finds the time and the effort to put up their actual ownership experience. PM me, and I'll re-open the thread.

Till then...

Topic Locked.

yeah the problem sometimes isnt just about keeping below 4K. If i want to keep it beelow 4k i will have to hover at 4K. Maintaining a constant RPM is certainly gonna harm my engine in the run in phase. So the only option is to exceed 4K

I aint gonna redline the bike ofc. ( incase anyone is getting the ideas that i aint loving my bike enough )

Now the pics are real bad. It was my friend clicking em and he goofed up clicking me more often than the bike. Will soon post only bike pics. oh and btw that ugly front number plate is going into my Doghouse very soon.And so will the utterly ridiculous saree gaurd

I dont know if i could write much about the ownership experience yet. I make a pretty bad writer too.

But the Ninja 250R just wont let me sleep..so what the hell..i might as well post about it. My first days ride has ended many hours ago but I am still reeling under the after effects of this bike.

During the waiting phase of the bike I was gobbling up Ninja matter over the web like a catastrophic virus. I came accross many articles/reviews which spoke about the 250R s special ability to inspire and induce confidence in you. Back then when i read these lines I never really understood as to what that feeling can be. Such things sounded much like what a Fanboy would say !
But hell this bike really is so very confidence inspiring !! its unbelievable how fast I could gel with it. Its handling really is awesome and it gathers speed at an alarming rate. The traffic ( which was a plenty in the evening ) didnt pose any problems to this 172 Kg (?) bike either.

I aint too experienced with bikes. I have always had a passion for fine machines but I somehow was only attracted to cars, untill now.
Nearing 6K to 8K you really start to feel that theres gonna be a big boom underneath the fairing. The engine seems to be bracing itself up for the maximum oncoming onslaught of power delivery.
I didnt take it beyond 8 K due to the engine run in mess (even 8 K was achieved only once when I wished to overtake a speeding car at the old Pune Mumbai highway. To my surprise i did it with relative ease. When I looked at my Speedo i was doing 100, and didnt even realise that the car I was overtaking was in my rear view.
Not advocating high speeds but just wanting to make a note of the easy highway cruising ability of this bike too.

It really is a compact SBK with a serious enough power for our conditions and it wont be an exaggeration to say it has serious enough power for ANY conditions. All the reviews make perfect sense to me now.

Gotta catch some sleep if I gotta do any serious engine break in tomorrow

Ciao

Topic Re-Opened and Tenhut's posts moved from the Ninja 250R (News) thread to here.

@ tenhut

1st of all congos on getting your ride...,,Btw, your riding gear & the lid totally unmatches the color of your green devil

+1..

Anyway, the riding jacket that tenhut is wearing is my favourite too..

And Congrats tenhut as you are now one among the few Ninja 250R owners in India..

Enjoy your ride and ride SAFE...

Congratulations

Congrats Tenhut for owning one of the first Ninja 250 in India. I`m sure like all other new bike owners you are also undergoing the painful experience of keeping the bike revs low till the engine has run-in . Well certainly it would be worth the wait before you can wring the throttle to the max .
After good media reviews for the Ninja 250 we would come to know the actual real life ownership experience of the bike and also the service provided by Probiking . Please do update us with the service costs and spare part prices of the Ninja . Congrats again and Ride safe

Oh man... please don't temp me to sell all things i have with me to buy this bike... I personally taught my mind to believe that this bike is expensive, even though my mind never believe's it... coz i don't have enough moolah to but it...

Congrats @TenHut for the ride... kudos for the ride...
Also keep us updating about all the pros & corns(also)...

Aahh.. an ownership review at last. Congrats TenHut bro..!!

But where are Born2Lead and Dushyant, the other recent owners of the Ninja 250R..?? Come on guys.. its time to give back to the community.

Have booking and deliveries in Bangalore started? An acquaintance of mine seems interested and he was asking me this too.
