Ninja 250 300
![Riding a MOTO2 on a GO-KART track [4K]](/img/n.gif)
everytime I think about getting a new bike, I go back to this to motivate and remind myself again. I won't upgrade from my little 250 before I don't ride at atleasthalf of his level
me too bro, me too
I really like his 1-piece suit...reminds me of the Crysis nanosuit somehow.
Same
they say it's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow.
it can go both ways
My daily has 21hp claimed. With mods I'm probably around 21hp.
I lose everyone in the super tight stuff like this. Gotta love a 275lb (wet) bike!
@@corvairkid17 duke 125?
81 sr250. Turned out to be a loveable bike. I catch people sitting on it daily too.
Blown up right this second.
And yes it's quick in town.... But you can feel the forks flex, and using front brake makes the front end max out.
That quick rider's wearing the Carbon fibre AGV Pista GP Rossi race replica helmet. He ain't f#cking round that's for sure. great message in this vlog regarding smaller bikes and riding them to their full potential. Every year all bikers should strive to be better than they were the previous year.
say that 3 times fast ! "Carbon fibre AGV Pista GP Rossi race replica helmet", Carbon fibre AGV Pista GP Rossi race replica helmet, Carbon fibre AGV Pista GP Rossi race replica helmet,
Facts
Talent will always shine through, I remember about 15 years or so ago seeing on a track near me a very young kid driving a kart. Bumped off first corner and still passed 29 other drivers to finish 2nd! Think his name was Lewis something! Even then you could see this kid was very very special. Little did I know? This talent is not given out to everyone, 250cc or not, this kid is pretty unique.
Also mad props to the camera guy, they're both on bikes and he's still more stable and more focused on target then 98% of CZcams.
Dudes definitely got skills! I had a zxr400 for 4 years before I stepped up to a bigger bike. That little bike taught me a so much. And I never got left behind in the twisties when riding in groups as it was so agile.
Love it. People always ask me, why don't you get a bigger bike. I don't see the point owning a big bike for the sort of riding I do, commuting to work and back. I own a track car so i'm not interested in racing my bike. A 250 is more than enough for every day street riding. I believe that riding a smaller bike can teach you to be a better rider, you have to learn about having a good flow and linking corners, you don't have the luxury to just pin it every time the road is straight. Plus I admire the underdog, always had 4cyl cars too.
Exactly. If your bike is your primary vehicle then you probably use it mostly for going to work. And needing a bigger bike to go to work.....would be like getting a lambo for commuting. Not that smart.....cool....sure.....but stupid.
i agree with being able to increase skills and enjoy a bike like that completely, but the problem for most people, americans in particular (i think), is that we don't live close enough to tracks like this or even roads that bend that much. living down here in flatland kansas makes it hard for me to find opportunities to practice like this :c so naturally the only thing to do around here is go fast and pop wheelies, and what bends we do have are very large and gradual, so going faster on them is almost a must in order to knee-down. i wish i lived near enough to a track like this to go regularly
If you have a sport bike then that's your problem.. if you get a supermoto or dual sport then the whole state is your race track.
You make some good points.
coast2coast00 Fuck you
so glad to be in the foot hills of a great Mountain chain.
I feel the same way. I live in the boring end of South Dakota. A lot of farmland with a grid of straight roads. I have never seen a road track in person.
I've owned a bike with a larger engine and enjoyed the initial take off. So far, I'm happy with my latest purchase of a CBR250R. I have no desire to own anything close to a R1 and cruise the highway at 170 mph. I've watch some insane videos. This reassures me I have much to learn with what I have and it can be more than getting from point A to point B. Glad to be riding again :)
Agree with you m13 a lot of people without skills, riding 1000s just because they're cool and they have the money, but they haven't experienced the joy to ride 125 cc to its real limits in a twisted road or track
Totally agree! I'm new to biking, a petrolhead and a car lover. With cars I have always pushed my skill level to the max before upgrading to more horse power. What's the point of a 911 turbo if you can't even handle an mx-5? I will be taking the same attitude with bikes.. although I feel the learning will take a little longer!
I'm buying a ninja 400 and love my Miata
This is completely correct on so many levels. I own I ninja 250 and I about a year ago I bought a sv650s to convert to a track bike. The ninja 250 still teaches me so much at slow speeds on the street while the sv650s can handle higher speed track riding. If I had to choose between the two it's the ninja hands down. I consider myself a good rider (I've been on two wheels for a long time with having a history of downhill mountain biking and dirt bikes) but I'm aware I'm probably never going to have the skill to use the power of a 600 or 1000. So many people hate when I tell them to start small and only upgrade when you completely master a bike. Nice informative video.
Wow, this is the first time I got motion sickness from a video and I've seen M13 since the "original channel" times. Watching fullscreen and being close to the screen, I first caught myself moving my head into the turns. After 5 minutes I had a weird feeling in the stomach. HD sunglasses for the reality win!
As a motor cop and police motorcycle instructor, I was a professional motorcyclist. I've owned five bikes, including an ex-CHP BMW R1100 RT-P and a Honda ST 1100. The only one I've kept is my little 250 Ninjaette that I've ridden coast to coast on (DE to CA). Many people try to get bigger bikes than they can comfortably handle, and many end up wrecking them and hurting themselves (these same idiots rarely wear protective gear, too).
Awesome, I wish I had this guy's skillset. I bought a Ninja 300 last year, this is my second season riding and I picked up a lot of great tips from watching these two blokes go round that little cart track.
I never understood the "bigger is better" mentality. I owned a Mazda Miata for ten years and never, ever got bored. That car was much more fun than a Corvette or Mustang or whatever other big displacement pseudo-sports cars there are. A really good driver behind the wheel of a Miata will absolutely kick ass. Of course I live in the Fingerlakes area of New York where every road has twisties. Maybe I would feel differently about it if I lived in Kansas.
I still haven't found a video that makes me want to get rid of my 250, it's perfect for what I need
I own a Ninja 250 and love it. I occasionally ride my friends Harley Davidson sportster (1100) and don't really care for all the extra weight. This video shows exactly why I prefer my 250.
that's a heavy bike though.. go rip a 600 and tell me you think its heavy.
Pre-2008?
Everyone fighting about bigger bikes vs small bikes and I'm just like WTF THIS LEATHERS LOOKS FUCKING AMAZING
People discussing bikes while you check out the riders ass. You know how I know you're gay?
people who think gay are gay. I think he meant the whole suit, not the ass, you homophobe.
Am i gay or am I a homophobe? You're insults are shit. Speaking of shit, you've still got some on your nose mate, clean it up.
well you still think gay stuff, so yes you're gay.
The guy filming is taking the right turns while the guy on the 250 sometimes takes the wrong option which causes him to lose speed or go wide. Still very impressive on a gokart track.
The camera man is my coach, and he rode a miniGP bike which is faster in this small track. I have to put everything out of me trying to avoid being crash by him :P
Preach it! Way to many guys, if not most the riders I ride with cannot lean a bike like this!! When its time to lean into the comers all I ever see is brake lights!! Riding at this skill level will save your life VS flying off a highway over pass because you thought you could handle the 600cc and above superbike!
This video makes me feel pretty good about owning a ninja 250 hah!! But i cant ride nearly as good as this man for sure...i wonder if theres any go kart tracks around here >D
i also have Kawasaki ninja 250R , i was wondering can we do this kind of leaning with stock tyers on?
I have had a motorcycle license for many years and considered myself a skilled rider. After seeing this guy ride, I have a new appreciation for what REAL SKILL IS!!!
Just got a 04 ninja 250r, 1st bike ever, after seeing this video, I "will try" to master it before moving to a larger bike, thanks for advice, makes good sense
Makes me happy to see that I will one day hopefully be able to ride my 250 like he does!
Glad you made this vid....now my son will stop trying to convince me he wants a bigger bike. All I can say is "Awesome!"
i love small displacement bikes
my r3 was so much fun and i regret selling it for a xj6n
i never use the potential of the bike and have higher cost for the same fun
also very much missing the feedback from frontwheel of the r3
on the xj6 not get any feedback
dont know if its the tyres or the bike
maybe this experience help other who think they want a new bigger bike
I've been planing to get Ninja 250 for 2 years now, (actually updated the plan to Ninja 300) but when ever I talked about my plans to bikers I know they all said "Nah get a 600cc atleast." I just smile and nod =)
Yah... i agree totally. Smaller bikes are the best. Carving like that feels amazing. A bigger bike is fine if you just wanna drive straight, but if you wanna go fast straight just build a dragster.
you are right. currently i have 650 and 250.. but you know what? i still love my 250 and not even think that i will get bored with it.. i mean it so much fun riding it and there are still plenty of things to explore with the 250..
I was riding my Ninja 250 for 4 years until I got an XJ900 last year. Never got around to selling my Ninja and I'm glad because as soon as my insurance is up for the XJ, I'll be going back to the 250.
I'd love to try taking a small bike to a go kart track over here in the UK but I've rarely heard of the sort, bit of a rarity I think. Only heard of one place which allows it but you need a race license and be part of a club to do so :/
There was a track that let you do that in Tamworth but it shut down :(
I don't understand why they don't allow small motorbikes on gokart tracks. I would think it would be better for business. Everyone just needs to sign more waivers and have better rated gear for insurance reasons.
Theires a few places that do it mate :)
1998NeonRT insurance......go cart tracks dont make alot of money and cant take the liability
most make you sign forms now, if you crash thats it.
That looks fun. Both camera man and rider showed some skills.
I've owned 600s to liter bikes for a decade. Then I went to Thailand and rented a 125.. forget the name. One step up from a scooter because it had actual gears. It was the most fun Ive ever had on a bike. I came back to the US, sold my R1, and got a WR250R with both sets of offroad and street wheels. Amazing bike for the cities and does highway speeds just fine.. although whats the fun in that. I set my Nav to 'Avoid Highways' wherever I go with it and get to see parts of towns/cities Id otherwise never see.
Guy needs to get on a supermoto, he's a natural.
That's funny. I spent the summer before last working and coaching the kart drivers there. That track is scary tight at speed especially in a fast kart.
Ah, I know this place. It is a small scooter and motorcycle race track in northern Taiwan about 40 miles south of Taipei City. In Taiwan the majority scooters and motorcycles have engines around 125-150 cc. A 250 cc motorcycle is considered a medium motorcycle and 500cc is a heavy motorcycle in Taiwan, you need different motorcycle driver licenses to ride them.
Makes me proud of owning a 06 ninja 250r
🏍
Still got it? How’s your suspension when riding hard? Too soft or okay?
@@KidNamedKuddy they are actually good just doing maintenance work and back on the road you know
This is super impressive. That's why when I upgrade my bike I'm going to keep my little 250 and since I wont be so afraid of banging it up I can try to do more things like this on it.
+Stephanie Newcomb you should learn how to corner properly before you start trashing it around..
+kade b I'm actually pretty decent at cornering. I don't knee scrape. But I definitely get down there.
Nothing wrong with getting this good on a little bike and nothing wrong with not having this level of skill and still ride something bigger
I would have loved to have seen some clips of you trying to keep up to him
As someone who rides a 250, I disagree, ironically enough. I could care less what cc engine you have, as long as you have fun.
Furthermore, not everyone has winding roads or tracks near them. So honestly, if all you have are relatively straight roads, you're going to go for more power to have fun. If that's not your thing, that's fine too
Point is, it doesn't matter what set of wheels you're riding on as long as you're happy. To put others down for their choice sounds just as petty as someone telling you to get a bigger cc engine to "have fun". If you're really happy with your Ninja, keep at it. What does it matter what others think of you?
It's like sport bike riders who get all flustered when a no-helmet wearing Harley doesn't recognize them on the road. What do you care what he thinks of you?
His skill level is over 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ninja 250= Awesome on a little go-cart track, sucks on the open road! It's not that complicated.
I F*^king LOVE YOUR VIDEO! I bought a 250r and so many people hate.. Sayin I can't keep up and all kinda crap.. Owning this bike has taught me how to RIDE. I ride with busa's and Harley's and everyone that I meet thinks I'm on a 600 just from the skill I've achieved. LOVE MY 250!
either the suit or that back protector is sick looking I gotta get one
Insane skills! Sparks flying @ sub 40kph speed on a knee+elbow down... Awesome!
Give that guy some slicks and he will own the track even more!
Yep, one of the most fun things I ever did on a bike was a 24hr endurance race on a twist and go on a kart track. it was like getting your knee down on a pogo stick! Mental but so much fun
That's why I bought my Monster 797. It's so much fun on a karting track.
You're bang on, keeping a lean angle like that it difficult and does require a ton of skill.
I'm sure a Ninja 250 is great fun on a small track when you're trying to take it to the limit. But on the road you have a much different riding style and the 250 quickly becomes tedious in those conditions.
That guy is a freak of nature lol. The camera man is almost as good.
Actually, the camera man is better than I am, he's a pro racer.
Oh wow lol then we must see him also lol
This takes serious skill, I ride a yamaha yzf 125 and obviously the top speed is pathetic, a mere 80mph have had 90 down a hill but yeah what I'm saying is the lean angles are so much fun, I can't be leaning it too much at the moment because its winter but in the summer I freak out every-time the pegs scrape because i think the whole bike is about to slide away and then when it pops up it feels awesome. Never selling this bad boy
i bought my ninja 250r in march and i still love it. I just wish it didn't get blown around by the wind so easily. that's my only complaint. if i get another bike it will probably be the ninja 650
Exactly 100 % how I feel a lot riders get hurt seriously cause they cannot handle full potential of the bike u got to be able to even wheelie those small bikes too before u even wheelie a big one it more safer I tried it a cbr 125 can wheelie and most people don’t even know that rev it and pop the clutch first gear low speed or complete stop and watch it will wheelie even that small a of bike so I definitely agree know the full potential of the bike before u get a bigger bike
I m all for NOT getting a smaller bike for the street, but racing/track days on the 250/300cc is so much fun, and cheaper than bigger bikes. It's like a 1/3 of the cost to race a 250/300 over a 600. Plus you can do super cheap track days on kart tracks like in this video. We have Wide open Wednesdays here for 60 bucks at our kart track, thats $90 cheaper than a normal track day and you get to do it every Wednesday rain or shine. Dont even get me started on the tire cost difference.
i know the guy on the front was good but the camera guy was great as well,well done mate.
I own a 250 and love it. I live in Canada, and I most mostly ride to commute. When I take the bike to twisties I love the bike so much and would not want to change it for a bigger one. HOWEVER, the problem with the 250 is overtaking people at speeds higher than ~70kph. Getting to the twisties takes a good ~1h30 which is boring, slow, and I can barely overtake anyone. When I'm at the twisties and there's a car in front of me, over taking it becomes a game of in itself as I have to make sure I will have plenty of space.
If I did track days I wouldn't even consider changing bikes but unfortunately I don't so as it stands I'm planning on getting a 600. All that said though I do not regret for a single moment getting a 250, it's a great bike, will scare you more than enough and is great for learning. If I had to do it over again I'd still get the 250 even if I knew I would upgrade later down the line.
This is effing why I haven't sold my 150 yet :)
I still feel I need so much more track time before I can say 'Oh I'm so good at this thing that I need more power'
Thanks. It's true, I keep up the 450 boys on my 250 Supermotard. Fun af.
That was amazing to watch, wish we had a track like that around here
I'm planning on getting my M1 license sometime soon and even after I decide to upgrade my back from a 250 to like a Yamaha R6, I plan on keeping that 250 and also possibly getting the new Yamaha R25 in the future.
I love small bikes, I've bought a Honda CR250 motocross which I want to re-build into a vintage looking road race bike because it's a bit fun with 2-strokes.
But the coolest small bike ever is probably the old Honda CBR 250RR which revs up to 20'000 rpm.
Quickest bike I've ever ridden was a 250 2-stroke race bike. The Yamaha TZR.
That "M" shape on the back of his suit reminded me of +Jakethegardensnake and Rhok "Moto" Crew
Oh my god... I wish they would have track days like this at Fun Trackers in Corpus Christi lol!
I remember my mini cruiser (kawasaki eliminator 125) was such a hilarious ride. I'd basically get off the opposite pegs to take a turn as fast as possible, but it was so slow it wasn't even dangerous or frightening. I never got bored of that bike but it did seem like I needed something bigger to challenge my riding skills at that point, haven't had the chance to ride anything since though.
There's the saying "It's more fun riding a little bike fast than a big bike slow".
Very impressive
very good
This is perfecto vid for big header idiots in Liter bikes with no skill!
Deals Gap is ready bro, been hitting it up all low and slow like this video:)))
You got my wife (with a H-D Sportster Nightster) going... Wow, he's right. I should hold on to my little bike and get better.
Smaller bikers are also SUPERIOR in agility. When you buy a bigger bike...you're also buying a WORSE handling bike. So they aren't as much of an "upgrade" as people think.
And that's why I love my wife's 250. Did just as good at deals gap as my 650
Yeah, I rode with my friend Brad a while ago and he lost me on some twisties. I didn't think it was possible for HIM to lose me.....but I couldn't keep up with his Ninja 250. Although I do want a re-match.
+201mxflyboy201 hello
Thanks for the video Mordeth! Now I can try and convince people of this without sounding like I've got small testicles. I have medium-sized testicles dammit.
LOL
No way man to get them convinced...At least here in Italy..They will go on believing they are Rossi that goes 350 km/h in a country where if you go up at 130 you can forget your license ahahahaha ahahaha
As an owner of a 250cc ninja: awesome!
That's some great footage. I agree 100%. It's sad how many riders can't take a slow speed corner with confidence... me included :(
So crazy, elbow and knee. So cool.
why not both? "Mexican music"
Hahah this is so badasss! Yay for 250s!
250 all the way 🙌🙌🙌
I can do a heck of a lot more stuff on my MT125 than someone on a large displacement bike.
The thing about small bike that's nice is that you can practice using it to its FULL potential. Where as, a large heavy bike is very difficult to use. Although, i am buying my self a Honda CBX. But not to race or anything stupid ^^
I totally agree, nice video!
Impressive , I have an 09 250 wish I could ride like that.
This looks like a blast 😄
Inexpensive(TWD 400/day) and nice track to build up some skills plus various kinds of competitors(scooters, minibikes, 2-stroke...) on track, that's why I visit it pretty often. AND maybe you can meet M13 there, how cool is that?
I would love to move to Taiwan to be able to race on tracks like this. The local track is big with wide corners. Racing for a day is easily $400 + gas and they only offer it twice a year. They did open a kart track there this year, so it would be cool if we could get motorcycles on there, too (doubtful, since everyone else wants the big track with their liter bikes).
Our track is also 400 for the day...but 400 Taiwan dollars is about 12 bucks US. :)
I'm moving in with you and kicking "that woman" out.
I'm actually moving in with my friend Donny within the next two weeks.
Mad vid, looks like so much fun.
Yea a 250 will be more fun on a go-kart track than a heavy liter bike... and a go-kart is probably gonna be more fun on a go-kart track than a Bugatti...
I HOPE YOU CAN DO THIS 1 DAY M13!!! THAT WOULD BE SO AWESOME TO SEE YOU RIP THIS TRACK
Perfectly said man and great footage too. Awesome.
Bloody hell! Half of the time his body is on the ground! I'm loving the bumble bee 250. I'm buying one next summer :)
In my area the speed limit on highways is usually 55. Ninja 250 is definitely capable of highway riding at least for me. I don't drive around like a maniac trying to kill myself though so if that's your thing then be my guest lol
Totally agree with you. I had a hard time practicing knee down at such low speed. And I dropped my FZR several times in 鉅豐 go-kart track. lol
You have spoken the truth. Better driver safer driver
We need this in the bay area.
+Creationsh We do a few miles away. Look up little Stockton 99. Several other supermoto type kart tracks in the state also.
really enjoyed watching this, he has great style
I'm sorry if I missed you saying what bike was following the 250? Supermoto?
That bike was doing a good job around the track too. Hats off to the camera man for keeping close.
bd
It's a "mini GP" bike. A small race only 150 4-stroke.
This is why I ride my Ninja 250. I want to master this bike before moving on, and that might take years. Who knows?
i agree a lot with whats said in this video. i ride 450cc supermotos and really dont want anything bigger even though evryone says they think i will, i really dont, and riding a 250 like this looks like it would be a lot of fun too! i should try more knee down on the supermoto, i usually go leg out
Thanks for the video, it's soooo cool!!!
Max Huang what mods are done to your bike?
it will be great if u have more details on his bike, like modifications, tyres, tyre pressures, suspension settings etc.
