2015 Kawasaki Ninja 250SL And Z250SL

The Ninja 250SL models was acquainted with the Asian showcase in February with the Z250SL taking after toward the end of April. We weren't anticipating that Kawasaki will present either display outside of Asia, so their dispatch at EICMA was something of a shock. It's farfetched we'll see either show in North America be that as it may, and it'll be intriguing to perceive how Kawasaki's four comparative little uprooting models may part the business.

The SL models have the same trellis outline. The Z250SL has the same 30.9-inch seat tallness as the 300 models yet the Ninja 250sl is marginally lower at 30.7 inches. The Singles however have shorter wheelbases at 52.4 inches contrasted with 55.3 inches on the Twins. The Z250SL has higher handlebars for a more upright seating position while the Ninja 250SL has more forceful cut ons that are much lower than the ones on the Ninja 300.

The Ninja 250SL and Z250SL utilize the same suspension with a 37mm telescopic fork and spring preload-customizable back stun. The brakes are additionally the same, with a double cylinder caliper snatching the single 290mm front brake circle and a double cylinder caliper combined with the 220mm back plate.

The Ninja 250SL models have their own styling to outwardly separate themselves from the Ninja 300S. The Ninja 250SL has a bit less bodywork than the Ninja 300, uncovering piece of the trellis casing while in advance it dons a solitary headlamp.

European estimating is yet to be affirmed, yet the Ninja 250SL and Z250SL ought to be less extravagant than their 300 partners.
