The '''Kawasaki Ninja 250R''' (also known as the EX250 in the U.S., and GPX250 elsewhere in the world) is a long standing model in [[Kawasaki motorcycles|Kawasaki]]'s lineup, introduced in 1986 and continuing in production as of 2006. The 2006 model has an MSRP of $2,999 USD. The 250R is marketed as an entry level sport [[motorcycle]] intended for normal use on paved roads. Compared to present industry designs, the 250R is more a "sporty-[[Types_of_motorcycle#Standard_or_Naked|standard]]" motorcycle with a [[fairing]] than a true [[Types_of_motorcycle#Sportbike.2F_Superbikes|sportbike]] (considering its ergonomics, chassis design, and engine placement within the frame), but it is still an excellent sport machine. | The '''Kawasaki Ninja 250R''' (also known as the EX250 in the U.S., and GPX250 elsewhere in the world) is a long standing model in [[Kawasaki motorcycles|Kawasaki]]'s lineup, introduced in 1986 and continuing in production as of 2006.
