Recent Updates of Ninja 250 SL

How much is the Kawasaki Ninja 250SL’s price?

The starting price of the Kawasaki Ninja 250SL is RM 16,689 in Malaysia.

How many variants are there in the Kawasaki Ninja 250SL lineup?

The Kawasaki Ninja 250SL is available in only one variant including the Kawasaki Ninja 250 SL Standard.

Which is the most value-for-money variant?

The Kawasaki Ninja 250SL Standard is the only variant with sharp styling and lightweight handling. It does not have superbike ergonomics but it is quite affordable.

What features does the Kawasaki Ninja 250SL get?

The Kawasaki Ninja 250 SL is a lightweight and compact bike. It measures 1935 mm in length, 685 mm in width, and 1075 mm in height, giving the feel of a 125-cc bike. Its slim dimensions, along with a slightly feminine design make it stand out in its segment. The bike boasts a single multi-reflector, sporty headlight that gives a nod to its single-cylinder engine. The overall profile of this bike is narrow all thanks to the centered windshield that is flanked by stocky rearview mirrors. The fully faired body exudes the shape of an hourglass, while the tail end boasts a sharp design with a high pillion seat.

The Kawasaki Ninja 250 SL’s fit and finish are quite good, aided by components that have been mounted close to the chassis. Its black and green color scheme elevates its visual appeal. The triple clamps come with sculpted lightning holes, giving a sophisticated touch to the cockpit, which boasts a fully digital compact instrument display. Backlit in white, it comes with a speedometer, odometer, digital tachometer, dual trip meters, fuel gauge, and clock, but does not have a gear position indicator.

The 17-inch lightweight Ninja-style wheels save half a kilo in comparison to standard Ninja 250 wheels and come with a five-y-spoke design. These are equipped with 130/70 rear and 100/80 front tyres, balancing stability and agility.

The Ninja 250SL boasts low clip-on handlebars and a full-fairing, slim design, positioning the rider for aggressive, sporty riding. A 249 cm³ single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine offers quick-revving performance, delivering at medium and low rpm smooth power and at higher speeds a hard-hitting punch.

The original trellis frame enhances its compact build, and lightweight design and enhances nimble handling. It is mated with Uni-Trak rear suspension and a 37 mm telescopic fork offering smooth performance and stability across various road conditions and speeds.

On both ends, petal disc brakes ensure controllable, strong stopping power while complementing the sporty aesthetics of this bike. The chassis weighs just 151 kg and is over 20 kg lighter in comparison to the Ninja 250, further elevating its agility.

The fine-atomizing injectors along with the fuel injection system, deliver across all rpm optimal fuel efficiency. A radiator fan cover offers better comfort by directing heat away from the rider, making this bike a perfect mix of rider convenience, performance, and efficiency.

How is the ride and handling of the Kawasaki Ninja 250SL?

The Kawasaki Ninja 250SL boasts a high-tensile, lightweight steel trellis frame that elevates its compact and lightweight design, making it a great choice for weaving through city traffic. Its highly responsive clip-on handlebars translate even the slightest input into immediate movement along with its 151 kg weight leading to outstanding agility.

The 5-way adjustable Uni-Trak rear suspension and 37 mm telescopic front forks maximize the handling precision and nimbleness of this bike. However, the handlebars are not that great for extended use, and minimal wind protection is provided by the small windshield.

The seat height is around 780 mm accommodating all kinds of riders, but the aggressive riding position and compact seat design put a significant amount of pressure on the wrists, making it not that great for long journeys. While its city-friendly nature and lightweight build quality shine, the Ninja 250SL is more suitable for spirited, shorter rides than long tours.

What engine and transmission options are available?

The Kawasaki Ninja 250SL is equipped with a 249cc fuel-injected, liquid-cooled DOHC single-cylinder engine that has 4 valves, mated to a 6-speed transmission. It offers around 28 PS at 9700 rpm and at 8200 rpm it provides 22.6 Nm of torque, contributing to responsive and smooth power, especially in the mid and low range.

At higher rpm, the engine thrives and revs quickly providing a top speed of 145 km/h and excellent acceleration. Its tuning perfectly complements the lightweight build of the bike, ensuring a spirited performance.

What’s the mileage of the Kawasaki Ninja 250SL?

The Kawasaki Ninja 250SL offers approximately 23 km/l of fuel economy, ensuring a decent range for short city rides.

How safe is the Kawasaki Ninja 250SL?

The Kawasaki Ninja 250SL comes with a 220 mm rear disc and 290 mm front disc. Both are mated with dual-piston calipers. While it does not have ABS, the braking system offers reliable and strong stopping power. The setup offers excellent feedback, complementing the lightweight chassis of this bike. This makes its braking very confident under various conditions, making it ideal for both spirited rides and city commutes.

How many colour options are there?

The Kawasaki Ninja 250SL is available in only one colour option ie Green.

Should you buy the Kawasaki Ninja 250SL?

The true Supersport DNA and lightweight, sleek design of the Kawasaki Ninja 250SL makes it the perfect option for spirited weekend rides and city commutes. Its single-cylinder free-revving engine delivers outstanding performance, while nimble handling is ensured by the trellis frame. The compact proportions of this bike offer an engaging, sporty ride, appealing to different kinds of riders. It is a great choice for those on the lookout for an affordable, stylish, and agile entry into the Ninja lineup.

What are my alternatives?

Ninja 250, Duke 200, Z 250, and YZF-R25 are the competitors of the Kawasaki Ninja 250SL.

Other things to consider 

The Kawasaki Ninja 250 SL embodies a superbike’s essence in a lightweight, compact package. Its nimble handling and aggressive ergonomics make it a standout choice for city riders.

Kawasaki Ninja 250 SL Review 2024

One look at the Kawasaki website will have you convinced that they have a bike for every possible segment. So much so that they have two entry-level quarter-litre sport bikes. The Ninja 250 SL owes its existence to the SL tag at the end of its name. This stands for Super Light. We think. That’s because it is considerably lighter than the Ninja 250. Also, unlike the Ninja 250, this bike is powered by a single-cylinder engine, making it the only Ninja with a single cylinder engine. At RM 16689, it is also considerably cheaper than the other Ninja. Kawasaki first launched it in 2014. Now though it may soon find itself replaced by the newest iteration of the Ninja 250. Other alternatives to this bike include the Yamaha YZF-R25, the Honda CBR 250R, and the KTM RC 250. Here is everything that makes this bike so special.

Kawasaki Ninja 250 SL Design

The SL tag after the Ninja 250 moniker can also stand for “Slim and Light”. And indeed, the bike is very slim. It is just 685 mm wide. At 1935 mm high, and 1075 mm tall, it is not much larger in other aspects either. It almost feels like a 125-cc bike. This even makes it seem a little feminine if we are being honest. As does the styling.

First off, this bike gets a single sporty multi-reflector headlight. Probably to reflect its single-cylinder engine. The windshield stands in the middle of rear view mirrors which are stocky and keep the bike from getting any wider. From the sides, the bike’s fully faired bodywork with its flared and waisted sections has an hourglass-like look. Its business as usual at the tail end with a high, nigh on unusable pillion seat resting on top of a sharp scowl.

Throughout, the bike shows good fit and finish perhaps due to everything being mounted so close to the chassis. The bike’s green and black color scheme also adds to this effect. The triple clamps for mounting the clip-on handlebars have been sculpted with lightening holes which give the cockpit a high-quality look. Also, featuring in the cockpit is a compact fully digital instrument display.  Backlit in white, it shows a digital bar graph tachometer, speedometer, odometer dual trip meters, clock, and a fuel gauge. But no gear position indicator. Also included are lightweight Ninja style wheels that save half a kilo over the Ninja 250’s wheels. This 17-inch five Y spoke wheels are shod with 100/80 tyres up front and 130/70 tyres on the rear.

Ninja 250 SL Ride & Handling

The Ninja 250 SL uses a compact and lightweight high tensile steel trellis frame. This contributes to the bike’s slim nature making it very suitable for filtering through city traffic. And you will be doing a lot of filtering. The bike uses clip-on handlebars which because of the narrow nature of the bike are very sensitive. Even the slightest movement is immediately reciprocated by the front wheel, making the bike very nimble. The 37 mm telescopic front forks and the 5-way adjustable for pre-load Uni-Trak rear suspension makes the best use of this and the low 151 kg bulk of the bike. These clip-on handlebars, however, are not the most comfortable. The windshield is also very much useless. The seat is very small and forces a riding position that rests on your wrists. The 780 mm set height is very commendable, but this bike is not really meant for long rides.

Kawasaki Ninja 250 SL Engine & Fuel Consumption

The Kawasaki Ninja 250 SL is powered by a 249 cc liquid-cooled and fuel injected DOHC single-cylinder engine with 4 valves. It is mated to a 6-speed transmission. It produces 28 PS at 9700 rpm and 22.6 Nm of torque at 8200 rpm. The engine has been tuned to provide smooth and responsive power delivery. Especially at low and medium rev range with a very healthy top end. The engine gains revs quickly and is happiest at higher revs. This gives the bike great acceleration that keeps up with the bike’s lightweight handling while also giving it a good top speed of 145 kmph. The fuel tank has a capacity of 11-litre and can achieve a fuel economy figure of around 23 kmpl.

Ninja 250 SL Braking & Safety

Braking on the Kawasaki Ninja 250 SL consists of a single 290 mm disc on the front and a 220 mm disc on the rear, both using dual piston calliper. There is no ABS but the brakes themselves are good enough.

Kawasaki Ninja 250 SL Verdict

The Kawasaki Ninja 250 SL is just as sharp as it looks. It has superbike ergonomics and handling in a compact and lightweight package. It is also a much cheaper alternative to its competitors. A very worthy contender that certainly deserves more attention.
