Overview

Kawasaki Ninja 250RR Mono / SL 250 Ninja

Kawasaki has unveiled the Kawasaki Ninja RR Mono in Indonesia (Ninja 250SL IinJapan), a 250cc bike which uses a single-cylinder engine. Till now the Ninja 250 was only available with a parallel-twin motor which pushed prices upwards. With a single-cylinder mill, Kawasaki will be able to price the Ninja 250 very aggressively. Mono which means single signifies the engine configuration of this new green machine.

The Kawasaki Ninja R Mono is powered by a 250cc, single-cylinder, fuel-injected, DOHC engine which belts out 27.61 BHP of power at 9700 RPM and 22.6 Nm of torque at 8200 RPM. The motorcycle has a top speed of 153 km/hr and is paired to a 6-speed gearbox. The Ninja 250 RR Mono is underpinned by a tube type diamond frame and runs on 110/80/17 and 130/70/17 tires at the front and rear respectively. Braking duties are taken care by 263 mm disc at the front and 193 mm disc at the rear, both petal shaped but ABS isn’t standard (it’s optional). The Ninja RR has a 11-litre fuel tank and a kerb weight of 151 kg.

The length of 1935 mm, width of 685 mm and height of 1075 mm make the Kawasaki Ninja RR Mono a tad smaller than the twin-cylindered Ninja 250/300. The wheelbase is 1330 mm, again shorter than the regular Ninja 250. This Ninja has a single piece headlight and the full faired bike looks quite attractive. It get an all digital instrument cluster which looks quite small.
