Kawasaki Gpx250r

The Kawasaki Gpx250r has a top speed of 175 km/h, produces 40 hp and weighs 159 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.

川崎 GPX250R(在某些市场也被称为 EX250 Ninja)于 1988 年推出,是一款运动型平行双缸 250cc 摩托车,面向初学者和中级车手,取代了之前的 GPZ250R。作为一款获得学习者认可的运动自行车,它在澳大利亚和东南亚等市场变得非常受欢迎,以其可靠性、无障碍性能和运动型忍者风格而闻名。该车型一直以其原始形式生产到2007年,之后被更新后的Ninja 250R所取代,巩固了其作为有史以来最成功的入门级运动摩托车之一的传统。

买家应该知道什么

🔧

Bulletproof Parallel Twin

The 249cc parallel-twin engine is renowned for its durability, often reaching 50,000+ km with basic maintenance. It's one of the most reliable LAMS-approved engines ever produced.

⚠️

Watch the Carburettors

Dual carburettors are the most common issue — ethanol-blend fuel can cause gumming if the bike sits unused. Always check for smooth idle and clean carb bowls before buying.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The GPX250R holds its value exceptionally well due to high demand from new riders seeking a LAMS bike. Production ended in 2007, making clean examples increasingly scarce and sought-after.

8.2/10

"四分之一升重写了学习者规则手册。"

我在 1 代 GPX250R 上行驶了 18,000 公里,我每个月拥有它都会让我感到惊讶。把它加速到 10,000 rpm 以上,那个平行的小双胞胎就会用力拉到在学习板上感到不诚实 — 185 km/h 是真实的,不是一厢情愿的想法,而且完整的整流罩实际上可以在高速公路行驶时起作用。按照现代标准,传统的叉子感觉是木制的,如果你装满后座和行李,双后减震器会严重褪色,但是这个单一而充满活力的东西开辟了弯道,其轻盈度是大型自行车无法触及的。弱点是真实存在的——零件供应量每年都在紧张,如果静置一个月,碳水化合物就会失效,90分钟后那个座位就会变成混凝土——但这里没有什么能扼杀乐趣。

优点

+尖叫的高端产品理所当然会很难
+全整流罩可有效阻挡风力
+轻盈的底盘激发了弯道信心
+如果定期保养,可以防爆发动机

缺点

−后避震器模糊不清且过时
−碳水化合物可以迅速惩罚疏忽
−座椅舒适度在 90 分钟后到期
−老化零件供应迅速变薄
最适合: 想要真实表现的坚定学习者 跳过 if: 你忽略了化油器维护基础知识
1990–2007 Gen 2

重新设计了整流罩,多年来对车身图形进行了更新,其他方面在机械上与第 1 代相似。

7.8/10

"最锋利的学习型自行车,可奖励耐心和追逐骑行。"

这辆平行双胞胎的转速必须高于 9,000 rpm 才能正常醒来——低于这个转速你骑的是礼貌的通勤者,在它上面你有一辆真正充满碳酸的小型运动摩托车,它会让更大的自行车在弯道时感到尴尬。20 世纪 90 年代重新设计的整流罩看起来比第 1 代更干净,实际上在高达 140 km/h 的高速公路上提供了不错的防风保护,之后你的头盔就会开始工作。湿重 159 千克时,它感觉轻盈且自信心十足,750 毫米的座椅高度不折不扣地适合身材较矮的骑手,刹车虽然不算壮观,但既前卫又诚实。主要的担忧是老化示例的可靠性:被忽视的水泵和化油器同步问题导致的冷却剂泄漏是继承的一辆已有30年历史的自行车,太多车主将其视为一次性使用。

优点

+奖励高转速的动力传输
+灵活、可预测的底盘
+低座椅适合大多数骑手
+整流罩重新设计了,看起来很干净
+零件仍可合理供应

缺点

−低于 9k rpm 的转速时
−冷却剂系统的老化需要注意
−140 km/h 以上的高速公路氛围
最适合: 学员认真学习骑行技巧 跳过 if: 你永远不会超过 7k

New riders wanting reliable, forgiving first sportbike

"The definitive used learner that won't punish your wallet or ego."

$1,500-$3,500 used

The GPX250R is one of those bikes that quietly earns your respect. Kawasaki built these things like tanks — the parallel-twin engine is genuinely bulletproof if the previous owner wasn't a complete idiot about oil changes. Find a good one and it'll run forever. The handling is crisp and forgiving enough for learners but not so dumbed-down that experienced riders feel patronised. Carbs sync beautifully once properly tuned and fuel economy is genuinely impressive. The problems you'll find on used examples are predictable: neglected carbs that need a full strip and clean, tired fork seals leaking oil down the lowers, and cracked fairings from inevitable tip-overs. Budget $200-400 for a proper mechanical freshen-up regardless of how good it looks. Check the frame around the steering head carefully — previous owners love dropping these at parking lot speeds. Coolant hoses go brittle with age too, replace them as preventative maintenance.
