The Kawasaki Ninja 250 is a lightweight sportbike designed for riders seeking an agile, approachable entry into the world of performance motorcycles. Its compact dimensions, manageable power delivery, and sporty ergonomics make it well-suited for new riders, daily commuting, or weekend fun. With its twin-cylinder engine and modern chassis, the Ninja 250 balances spirited riding with everyday practicality. In Malaysia, it appeals to those looking for a reliable, well-engineered machine that offers the thrill of a supersport in a more accessible package.
In Malaysia, the Ninja 250 is offered in both non‑ABS and ABS variants, assembled locally by Modenas under Kawasaki’s distribution. It features a 249 cc liquid‑cooled, parallel‑twin DOHC engine with fuel injection, paired with a 6‑speed transmission and assist & slipper clutch. The ABS version adds anti‑lock brakes and weighs around 167 kg, while the non‑ABS model is slightly lighter at 165 kg. Both share a trellis steel frame, telescopic front fork, rear monoshock, LED lighting, and an economical riding indicator. A 2023 update introduced a Kawasaki green livery for the ABS model, reflecting local styling preferences. Pricing has ranged from approximately RM18,900 for the base model to RM21,800 for the green ABS version. (Prices from 2022–2023 launches.)
