Kawasaki GPX250R EX250F 2001 Parts & Accessories

Originally introduced in 1986 as the EX250, the Kawasaki Ninja 250R became one of the most iconic, best-selling lightweight sportbikes of all time. Spanning multiple generations over nearly three decades, the model established the benchmark for beginner-friendly motorcycles by combining aggressive full-fairing supersport styling with approachable ergonomics and low operating costs. The platform underwent a major redesign in 2008 (EX250-J), introducing modern razor-sharp bodywork, upgraded 17-inch wheels, improved chassis rigidity, and refined engine tuning. Celebrated as the ultimate gateway motorcycle for new riders, light commuter, and lightweight track machine, the Ninja 250R laid the foundation for Kawasaki's modern entry-level lineup before evolving into the Ninja 300 and Ninja 400.
