Kawasaki Ninja 250R vs Honda VTR250

Honda has recently come out with a new VTR250 for the European market. The 250cc segment is already being headed by our Kawasaki Ninja 250R.
So, does the Honda VTR250 has the dope to out run the Ninja 250R?

MCN has carried a comparison test of both the bikes. This is what they have to say:

"Although the new Honda responds better low down, from the mid-range up the DOHJC, parallel twin motor of the Kawasaki revs quickly and smoothly and its power increases more and more and its suspension has enough stroke to enjoy sport riding.”

Tsukigi racing exhaust for the Ninja 250R

Selecting a Motorcycle Exhaust-System was never been so difficult, most riders see the Exhaust-System as the easiest way to increase the power of their motorcycle. A survey under riders revealed that most motorcyclists planned to buy an alternative exhaust system for their bike in the next year.

One company Tsukigi Racing has been designing and building aftermarket performance motorcycle exhaust-systems. Tsukigi Racing founded 37-years ago, and now for 10-years active in the Thai motorcycle market has introduced a complete performance exhaust-system for the in Thailand popular Kawasaki Ninja 250R.

The Tsukigi Racing Exhaust-System for the Kawasaki Ninja 250R is probably the easiest aftermarket pipe to install bolting on in a mere 10 minutes. When viewing the end can from the side, people either loved or hated the pipe. The lack of a heat shield can be unpleasant for a pillion-rider especially if not wearing closed shoes.

The Tsukigi Racing Kawasaki Ninja 250R Exhaust-System is loud, aggressive but strangely the sound was not irritating, the exhaust note never felt as extreme.



The mechanics from Tsukigi Racing claimed that the aftermarket system would provide a 2 to 3 horsepower performance gain. We where not able to confirm this, riding the bike let us believe that the power gain was more, especially in the lower rev segment.

Overall we where very impressed by, what could be, the first Thai aftermarket product for the Kawasaki Ninja 250R.
