2010 Kawasaki reviews

I love this bike. It's comfortable and a great joy to ride. Handles great on the road and has plenty of power. Rode it to Niagara Falls with no problems. I would recommend this bike to anyone. Show less

I just bought a 2010 C14 and traded in my Yamaha FZ6. This is the finest bike I've ever ridden. It is exceptionally smooth and very powerful and everything works great. I took it on a couple of 200 mile rides, very comfortable! I changed the oil at 200 miles and again at 600. Drivetrain also! Getting about 44-48 mpg on the hwy with the Economode on. I love this Bike! The salesman at the dealership was a great guy and really took care of me. Show less

The Super Sherpa 250 is better than I expected. I bought this bike based on other reviews I had read from around the world. This little dual purpose bike is perfect for me and out performs my previous expectations. It gets 90-101 mpg and sounds great. The seat could have a little more comfort to it, but it is better than the equivalent Suzuki or Yamaha models. I give this bike a definite thumbs-up!! Show less

I had this bike and it was totally perfect in every way. Height was perfect as well as it's performance. It was the first time I had owned in a very long time but worth it. I felt comfortable and secure. Show less

I've had my new Nomad for about 10 days now and have managed to put on about 800 km so far. It's replacing a 900 Custom that I recently sold. Other than some running noises that I'm not used to hearing, it's a great bike. Lots of power and the fuel economy isn't bad (Between 45 and 50 mpg). It just purrs along when cruising on the highway and it is very comfortable. The cruise control is sweet and works great. And at slow speed the bike handles like a dream. I actually think that this 832 lb bike handles better in the parking lot than my 900. Figure that one out. The lockable saddle bags are huge and will be great for weekend getaways. And if you're into computerized displays you probably won't be disappointed. You get the regular odometer plus two trip odometers, a "what gear am I in" indicator, a variety of different fuel economy displays, a clock, and I suspect some sort of clever warning when you start getting low on fuel. I haven't gotten there yet. Back to the noise. I'm really only comparing it to my 900 Custom which was just a super bike, but not really suited for two up on the highway. I never heard any noises coming from it. Mind you, it didn't have a windshield either and that may be the issue. I rode a Victory Cross Roads and I thought it had a lot of running noises such as tranny whine. A friend of mine has a Suzuki C90T and he says he can hear all kinds of noises from his bike. I was riding an HD Heritage and I heard some scary noises coming from it. I guess what I'm saying, is that I don't care for the noises that I hear, but it's probably nothing unusual and probably nothing to be concerned with. So if you're thinking about getting a Nomad, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Show less

This bike is too much fun. Light, good on gas and looks hot. I haved owned much bigger bikes in the past (r1, busa, gsxr 1000) and the little ninja just proves to me all the time that sometimes too much is too much. All the bike I need and as you can tell I have owned some of the best. I plan on not going more than 100 miles from where I live, but sure the bike can tour no problem. The ninja 250 - the little bike that could if there ever was one. Show less

Loving the all new design for the Z. Aggressive looks and a nice riding stance means one happy rider. The sound (with stock pipes) is mean and lets the rider know they are on a high rev'er. The power comes on smooth and predictable with ample over-rev. This bike is a HUGE leap forward for Kaw's Z line. I'm getting ready to go Duc hunting on this sucker! Watch out Hypers. Show less

For what you get for the money, no other bike can compare. You get great looks, superior gas mileage, speed, reliability, maneuverability, comfort, overall quality, and name of Kawasaki Ninja. Wow, go get yourself one now! Show less

I bought this bike for my wife. As I was riding it home from the dealership I was thinking that it has ok power for a beginner, nice styling, and good brakes. One thing I noticed is that it was a little heavy for such a small displacement bike. When I checked the owners manual specs it is listed at 375 pounds! It sure would be nice if they could have shaved off 25 or so pounds. Show less

Bought one to rebuild my credit after the divorce, get back in to riding and also to give to my daughter later. After 8 months, she can't wait, I am having a blast on it and it looks to be perfect for a teen wanting to get in to riding. Ok, the performance on acceleration and top speed isn't great compared to my other bikes but it is only a 250. I do wish it had another gear for the freeway but beyond that, it is surprisingly comfortable on longer rides. Also it is a LOT cheaper to repair if it is dropped like I did locking the front wheel on an oil patch. Nothing major but it will be just like new when my daughter turns 16 next year and gets this. If you love riding, it is a great way to get with your children when they want to ride and a family activity! Show less
