…but please tell me you’ll be getting a jacket and other gear to match that helmet!

jajaja…. sure. The jacket is a must. A nice black one to match the bike.

I will try to make a video of the engine running… I swear. It sounds nothing like the factory fitted exhaust system.

Congrats on the new bike and good luck with the course!

Hey Paul,

I’m in about the same boat as you – I’m taking our local MSF course this weekend, and, like a lot of other new-riders-to-be, I have my eye on the Ninja 250R. Post back and let us know how it all goes.

Good luck, and have fun!

Great choice, both bike and taking the course. The bike will grow as your skillz grow and you’ll know when it’s time to upgrade.
I’ve had mine about q year and have put over 3.5kmiles oN it, and it’s now my commuter.
When you start getting a good feel for the bike and think your pushin hard, push it harder! Get up in that 9-13k rpm rang when your ready and it’s like a different bike then when you first rode around at 5-7k rpms.
Have fun, be safe, gear up!!! Boots jacket, gloves are a must! Overpants aren’t too expensive and will protect those knees, legs, and hips. I think the statistic is hat most accedents happen within 2 miles of your home.
The bike will grow as you grow….that is, like someone else said….you ride someone elses bigger bike! Lol
but the ninja is nimble, light, flicks over fast, and isn’t a slouch off the line against cars.
Keep the rubber side down!
