Kawasaki Ninja 250R adalah varian terbaru dari Kawasaki Ninja dengan mesin 249 cc, menggiurkan bagi para pengguna motor balap. Motor balap yang sudah menjadi pembicaraan sejak tahun 2007 ini diproduksi di Thailand dan masuk ke Indonesia dipertengahan 2008. Dengan rasio kompresi 1 : 11.6, Ninja 250 R memang cukup menguras kantong karena dia meminum BBM sekelas Pertamax plus. Meski demikian, hal ini sepadan dengan kemampuannya, si Ninja memiliki tenaga maksimum 11.000 putaran per menit (rpm) dan torsi maksimum yang dihasilkannya 9.500 rpm.

Cylinder head
- Refined intake and exhaust ports contribute to good off-idle response and smooth power delivery
- Valve timing and lift were designed for strong low- and mid-range torque
- Direct valve actuation ensures reliable high-rpm operability
- Valves with thin heads and stems reduce reciprocating weight

Carburetor
- Twin Keihin CVK30 carburetors fine-tuned for good power feel and low fuel consumption

Exhaust system
- 2-into-1 system contributes to the Ninja 250R’s low- and mid-range torque and smooth, step-free power curve
- Slightly upswept silencer extensively tested to determine chamber size, connecting pipe length and diameter to achieve least noise and most power
- Meets strict emissions with dual catalyzers; one in the collector pipe and the other in the silencer
- Using two catalyzers minimizes the power loss

- Positioning the first catalyzer as close to the exhaust ports maximizes its
