Wow - I have seen this thread over at Kawiforms for a few days now, and never clicked on it thinking it was some goober asking questions about some pipe dream he has about riding cross country — not actually someone doing it.

That’s right — some crazy bastard is riding his 2008 Ninja 250R Cross Country ( And by Country — I mean the good ol’ US of A… Not some micro country like, Vatacan City… ie. 3000+ Miles, EACH WAY!)

*sigh* I’m so Jealous. That is so rad — if you haven’t read the thread already, take some time and read it. It really sounds like quite the adventure, and I’m completely Jealous of you. I did some searching, and I cannot find any proof of any other 2008+ Ninja 250R doing any type of trip even close to what you’re doing.

So, because I want to support what you’re doing — and since I’m pretty damn sure you’re the first  — 2Fiddy.com is willing to sponsor the next 50$ worth of Gas for you bro! Just shoot me an email or leave a comment here and I’ll get in touch with you about pay-pal’n you some gas money.

Good Luck Man!

Based off the traffic for this blog, and the emails that I have been getting lately, I’m quickly understanding why the rumored 50,000+ Bike backlog is probably more fact than fiction.

Today, I received an Email from Taufik in Bogor, Indonesia [ Map Link In case you slept that day in grade school ] With some pics of his 2008 Ninja 250R. He says he is “160 cm height tall and 60 kg” which in yank is — about 5′3″ and about 135 lbs.. So a lil size reference for our “Will it fit” readers..

Taufik also runs a Blog – So if you’re one of our international readers looking for your news in Indonesian make sure you check it out.

One of our 2Fiddy readers Mark sent me over some pictures of him on his new 250, and it’s looking good. I really like this picture to the right because it is a great size reference for riders. Mark is about 5′8″ / 200(ish) pounds — and as you can see — the bike is a really good fit.

In addition to stopping for a few mins for a quick snap shot — Mark is doing a good job getting some nice Ninja footage up on YouTube. Make sure you check it out.

This is one hot bike. dnaLor from KawiForums posted the results from his recent bike bleaching — and from the clean looks of it, I won’t be surprised if Kawasaki adds White to their Color arsenal for 2009..

Good Job man! Awesome looking bike (And scooby!)
