[Kawasaki] "Ninja 250" 2026 model coming out! Clad in bold red for 726,000 yen.

Kawasaki will release the 2026 model of the "Ninja 250" on November 1. With a color change for the first time in two years, a bold makeover featuring a red color has been adopted. Let's take a look at what kind of graphics it has!

Easy to handle and recommended for beginners

The "Ninja 250," which has the best footing and is lightweight among the "Ninja" models, is popular as a sports model that can be ridden casually. It produces a maximum output of 26.0 kW (35 PS) / 12,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 2.2 kgf·m (22 N·m) / 10,500 rpm.

It delivers strong performance across the entire RPM range while balancing high stability and agile handling. Not only is it enjoyable for sporty riding, but it's also fun for city riding, making it recommended as a first bike.

A two-tone color that completely changes the previous atmosphere.

What concerns me is the new color being announced for the 2026 model. It's available in two color schemes: Metallic Carbon Gray x Metallic Yellowish Green, and Galaxy Silver x Candy Persimmon Red. Both feature bold graphics.

The price has increased by 22,000 yen to 726,000 yen. Now, let's go on a tour with the newly updated "Ninja 250"!
