The July 2008 Issue of Cycle World magazine hit news stands this week with the annual 10-Best List. In all honesty, I really didn’t expect to see our lil Ninja 250R on the list — because right now it’s sorta in a class of it’s own here in the US. And I just don’t see it winning “Best Super Bike” any time soon. I think this will be something interesting to watch over the next few years to see if they add something like ‘Best 50MPG+’ or even ‘Best Light Weight’. Perhaps add even the easiest category for the Ninja to win, a category for Best way to meet the… Ladies… (I kid…. I kid… But seriously.. If they did add it it would be no contest… )

That being said, Cycle World did give the lil’ Ninja 250R an Honorable Mention — which is pretty sweet. Reviewers still are impressed with the $3500 mixture of price, handling , looks with two free scoops of fun to ride thrown in.

Despite the 1 Paragraph Blurb on the Ninja 250 — Cycle World is a really good read this month. The 0-180MPH shootout is quite a fun read, with the Ninja’s Liter bike big brothers doing pretty well..
