Kawasaki EX250 information

First launched in 1986 the Kawasaki EX250, also known as the GPX250 is an entry-level sports model. With a high specific output of 36-40bhp depending on the information source, this 8 valve liquid cooled twin was capable of high sustained revs, and needed to be revved to achieve any kind of decent performance, leading to suspect long term reliability.

The Uni-Trak rear suspension kept everything nice and tight, but the 16” front wheel could prove a little disconcerting when pushing on.

At the time of writing the model is still produced for some markets as the Ninja 250R having it’s last technical and physical makeover in 2006.
