100,000 Mile Milestone - "The Little Ninja 250"!

Being an event that certainly doesn't happen everyday, and likely hasn't occurred too many times (if any?) in the world of Ninja 250's...... figured I'd post up the rather special event that happened at the conclusion of today's weekend riding adventures.

Being the original owner, bought new in 2001, with a good 75% of the miles logged on the twisty backroads of the Santa Cruz mountains. Miles logged in rain-or-shine condtions.

Happy "100K" little green Ninja 250. Thanks for all the great miles, and memories!

Looking forward to the next century.

That is awesome! My bike had 12,500 when I bought it 2-1/2 years ago, I'm sitting at about 38,000... as much as I love my bike, I hope I roll 100k!! Congrats!

auntiebling · 05-31-2009, 07:53 PM

awesome, in about 8k more miles you could sell it as a "low mileage garaged bike"

you've averaged more miles per year on the ninjette than i drive in a year in my cage

Kwang · 05-31-2009, 07:55 PM

Did send an email to some key folks in the PR department at Kawasaki USA, Duffil, and surprisingly an enthusiastic reply arrived soon after!

Never know till something actually happens, but there might be something in the works to commemorate the bike's 100K milestone ..... and history of the "The Littlest Ninja", come the July timeframe.

Hmm, I better shoot for 100k on my zrx too.
