There was a lot of questions on the differences in physical proportions between the new Kawasaki Ninja 250r and the Naza Blade 250r. Here are some shots we took to highlight the difference in size between the two:
heres my 2 cents in this matter. iam no body in particular just another sportbike lover and i've seen both bike live. i wud like to rate the LOOK of these 2 bikes. Just the look. From the front: I'd give Blade 3.5 out of 5. And Ninja 250 a 3 out of 5. Honestly saying, from my perspective, both fronts looks pretty ugly.But of course, nothing a face lift cant fix. Get a new hot bodies (www.hotbodiesracing.com) wind screen on the ninja and throw away the side mirror and its a beau. The naza wud win my vote just because its bigger in the front and really shove "big bike" look on someone's face. Maybe lowering the bike would help fill that ugly gap?perhaps some line stripes wud give it a better expression? From the side: Blade would get 3 from me. But ninja win this side battle. i'd give it a 4 out of 5. It looks so clean and lean.It almost reminds me of the new cbr1000. Just cut of that ugly plate number holder and put it a wheel hugger and its fine. As for naza, its stil look big, yes, but for me theres abit too much gaps here and there. And the tail is ugly. no lines or curves at all. In contrast with the "lift up" tail on Ninja, it sure looks sporty. From the back: again ninja wins this one, probbaly a 3.5? as appose for the the blade, i'll give it a slightly lower rating. maybe a 3 would be sufficient enough.just to get Hyosung (the original manufacturer of the bike) to re think their design. Yet again the Kawasaki people really had the design rite, for my opinion. Everything seems to flow. Conclusions: Naza Blade 250r- If you are really into big-bike look. I would say theres no other choice out there. Its big, bulky, and looks really rite. Still i'd suggest some minor face lift. And i also loving the digital meter. Its rough love for this bike. Kawasaki ninja 250r- Im guessing that this really serve its purpose as a "sporty commuter" rather then a big bike. Sure the look might be a hit or miss, but i ask you again to go closer to the bike and really see the whole picture for your self. The design is so clean and sexy. My say: If i had 20k in hand rite now, i wudnt think twice abt buying a ninja. But then again, if naza were to drop the price to 10k-15k i really dont mind getting it. Both bike has their own pros and conts. Since Kawasaki is the more reliable brand so you know u can count on the hardwares.all the bike need is just some imagination and creativity. But to be honest before there was ninja my dream was really on Naza. It makes u feel big and boldy. and it was, at that time a really cool bike.Still this is strictly my view of the matter. I was just hoping i could open peoples mind to using design and creativity on making a bike looks way better. thanks for reading.
