The Ninja 250 faces very little direct competition within its class inside the United States.  The main competitors are the other 250cc "beginner bikes" priced around $3,000, namely [[Honda#Motorcycle_models|Honda]]'s Rebel 250 and Nighthawk 250, the  [[Suzuki]] [[GZ250]], and the [[Yamaha]] [[Yamaha_Virago|Virago]] 250.  With the exception of the Nighthawk (a [[Types_of_motorcycle#Standard_or_Naked|standard]]), these bikes are all [[Types_of_motorcycle#Cruiser|cruisers]].  The disparity in style between a crusier, a standard, and a sportbike is frequently the buyer's deciding factor, given that one's choice in bike is often as much about self-image as objective features.  None of these bikes can match the Ninja 250's much greater power, 14,000 rpm [[Redline|redline]], 6-speed [[Manual_transmission|gearbox]], [[Tachometer#Automotive|tachometer]], and [[Centerstand|centerstand]], nor do they offer both front and rear [[Disc_brake|disc brakes]].  All of them have an advantage over the stock Ninja with their rear [[Motorcycle Suspension|suspension]] [[Preload_(suspension)|preload adjustability]], although the [[Kawasaki "Uni-Trak&#174;" system]] is more advanced and may be upgraded.  The cruisers also offer relatively low seat heights in the 26-27 inch range, an issue for some riders.
