DEFINITELY A HEAD TURNER AND WILL COMPEL YOU TO POSE WITH HER IN FRONT OF THE CELLULOID...FOR THE LATER BRAGGING AMONG FOLKS....... AS USUAL...AMAZING REVIEW...WITH GREAT CINEMATOGRAPHY AND EDITING......

Guys the video experience in 50fps just look stunning. The motion look so lively, makes you feel you are there on the track. All in all AMAZING video and experience.
Woahhh !!! Great first review guys. Sarge effortlessly moving round corners...almost fluidic. Btw. I believe the Z250 is based on the outgoing Ninja 250. The time z250 was first launched, starting with markets like Malaysia, the ninja 300 was yet to hit showrooms.
Wht impressed me is ur explainations.... Specially akash... The ambience u create in ur videos is osmn.. Juss feels like to be tjere with u guys n enjoy rev with those beast... I hv seen many videos but the way u did this ride was thrilling.. Was juss thinking wht cud happen if i was on Pillion seat😱.. U guys really gives feel of those bikes with the ultimate standards maintained in ur review.. Hats off to u guys.. I do wanna meet u guys.. N thts in there right at top in my bucket list.. KEEP CALM N WATCH POWERDRIFT...🙌🙌
PowerDrift Thanx :) You guys a are most welcome to use my bike for Road Test Video :D when it will arrive that is (Pro-biking Pune waiting period upto 2 months) I will most likely use it as sports tourer :P
+Arun Menon Thank you. Currently the bike is being brought in from Thailand as a CKD. We hope that the guys at Kawasaki are listening. Fingers crossed. :D
Nice video. I'm watching it very late though. Anyway, I heard you say a couple of times in the video that the upright position is great for handling. But isn't front leaning riding posture more confidence inspiring around the corners? I always find upright posture less confidence inspiring and uncomfortable around corners in comparison.
while cornering is there sliding coz i see the rider taking help of his leg, can we corner with confidence on this machine ?, i mean with the stock tires.
I've been using this bike in Malaysia for half a year and so far no complaints. Apart from the not so grippy tyres (Road Winner for the Malaysian version) pretty much its a complete package. The power is there and has a good range of torque but do not expect a top speed of a normal super bike..haha. I wish the upcoming version (if available in the near future) will include abs as a standard option. cheers :) and nice vids.
suvicha88 Thank you for sharing your experience here at PowerDrift. ABS has become something that we can't live without specially with conditions in India. Hoping for that safety upgrade in the near future.
PowerDrift Longtime fan here. I just wanna say that even though the 50 fps registers more detail, it isn't always a good thing. I feel it takes a lot away from the dramatic feel of the video. Happens with movies also. Anyways, its just a nitpick. It's just an opinion and I'm sure there are others who appreciate it more than I do. Love your work as always.
@PowerDrift: I am real fan of your channel, What do you suggest between R3 vs tnt300 vs Z250, for me handling is important, also I do like bike having some weight( It feels more planted).
hey hi PD... I am looking to buy a new bike and i am thinking to buy a Ninja 250SL... can you plz tell the release date of the bike as a lot of ppl are intrested to buy the bike.... and can you plz make a review video about it....?
The Z250 is something that we have to test extensively. The SL on the other hand is a machine that we might not get. As far as the G310R goes, October is when we shall know :)
I'm getting Z250 soon, rolling it out in the next few more weeks. What tyres would you think best suit this bike on day to day ride instead of putting them into race track? I'll be using it to travel to working and needed to travel around 75km every single day on regular highways.
Would the Z300 be a good buy? My country is offering both the 250 and 300... though the 300 comes with ABS and slipperC. Just wondering if the extra cost is worth it.
how is this bike's refinement and engine heating problem as compared to duke 390? and there is news about the z250 sla much cheaper version comming to india, is that happening any soon?
+cool_buddy The bike is very refined and it being a Kawasaki you can expect it to perform very well. And about the Z250 SLA, there is no official word on it.
Depends on what you crave for in a motorcycle. There's the sweet refinement of the parallel twin on Z, but awesome tyres on the Duke. Heck! Don't make us choose! Buy both!
+prasun “cutedevil” roy Fortunately or unfortunately India got to see the R3 and not the R25. A full review is on the way. As far the Draken goes, there is no official word on it yet.
i am looking forward for my first bike to buy . so , should i go for this or wait for the benelli 300 and the r25 . as compared to the r25 , which would turn out to be a better package
The Z250 is one fun bike, the R25 still not around, the BN not around either. At this point in time, it's pretty much the bird in hand philosophy here!
Kunal Shukla The Z250 being a naked has good ergonomics for city riding but will have your face plastered with wind blast on the highway. The R25 on the other hand, looks sporty but has great ergos that can be suitable for city traffic. With the R25 not being around at the moment this seems a great fit. :)
Ohk...... Taken that this bike is lower in terms of engine displacement and goes as fast as duke 390 and the looks are just mind boggling....but i would still go for a duke 390..... After all abs and metzeler tyres are something which makes hell of a difference. Also at the price of about 3.5 lakhs on road for Z250, I believe Ninja 300 is by default a better go for those Richie rich(s) out there at about 4 lakhs, as it looks a bit more topnotch and with slipper clutch Ninja 300 deserves quite some consideration as well....
+kapil koka A lot has changed. The Yamaha R3 is now in the picture too. As far as your height goes, the duke 390 is shorter and you will be a bit cramped up. Head to the nearest Yamaha and Kawasaki showrooms and see which one suits your body the best. :)
I just compared the Z250's and the 2005 EX 250 or Ninja 250R's frames and i don't see the difference Except for the subframe at the back maybe shorter, but designwise is identical
PowerDrift am very much confused 😕 b/w z250 n Benelli 300.. As am luking to buy one these parallel mills. I need to knw whch one would be better for city riding conditions n also in terms of maintenance.
+PowerDrift #Thanks team #PD for ur excellent review n i got Z250 diz month.. very much impressed n really its is an perfect byk for me in city riding conditions here in Bengaluru. #kawasaki #Z250
Sarge I m quite confused between rc390 and rc200, i am riding a yamaha r15 as of now and looking for an upgrade, should I go for the rc390 or the rc200 thanks in advance good luck ahead
will the bike suit tall riders??? coz my legs extend beyond the depressions on the tank of duke,that was a major problem with duke... my height is 6 2'
Nithin Ragav Sarge is about 5'11" tall and he found it to be quite comfortable. The Duke is a little deviated when it talks about ergonomics for taller riders.
one thing I like about u guys is .. u reply very quickly ... love u guyz .. keep bringing more of these reviews .. my question is that I heard from somewhere that semi pro and pro riders use front brakes so often rather than rear .. is it true ? while cornering and in other situation as well u use front brakes only or both together?
Mubeen Kulai We always do that for our friends & we shall continue doing so. To learn more about riding skills, there are a couple of schools in India. Check them up. :)
I know riding and driving both , but i was using rear breaks often .. then I got to know from someone that using front brakes will lead to efficient deceleration .. is it? if yes then only front or both brakes ? PowerDrift
PowerDrift is there any school in Kolkata? If there is then can you plz tell me the name? It would be really helpful. I know basic biking, even have a license. But I want to learn more.
Mubeen - it depends on the motorcycle riding. As a thumb rule the front brakes will lead to efficient deceleration for front obsessed bikes. This however would not be a great idea for 'stopping' a rear biased cruiser. Use both the brakes, be front focused on street fighters, sporty machines.
Guys, excellent job as always. You are my go to guys for bike reviews. Needed a bit of help. Z250 or Duke 390. Performance is the key factor for me followed by overall build quality and I like riding long and hard. Price is not a concern. Have been mulling over this for almost a month now, would really appreciate your inputs
priyesh mackollil Z250 - Naked, streetfighter looks and sports the Kawasaki badge! Duke 390 - Fiesty, light, ABS & bang for buck! Which one would we go for? BOTH :P
Hello, I am considering this bike to buy, but just want to clear a little confusion, how is the "upright" seating position on this bike?, I am ok with handlebars but are the footpegs placed more towards rear?, I feel having rear set footpegs gives more control and confident over bike in corners and even in straight line & after riding Yamaha R15, Honda CBR 150R I am pretty sure about it. Thanks
Akshay Hingne Since the Z250 is more inclined towards being a street fighter, the rearsets are not that rear and are comfortable! As you can see, it can be taken around corners. :)
sagar... im the big fan of u... the way explain jus awesome...and the review u give us so nice and beliable...,,, please give me the detail of which is good bike kawasaki z250 or ktm duke 390 2017?? and which is the value for money... and if posbble plz make comparison video of this 2bikes m waiting for it dude tnks power drift...

Since 2017, Still riding it like I just bought it yesterday.. Too much fun... wherever I go, people stop me and ask about it. :)
Wow, good!

Guys the video experience in 50fps just look stunning. The motion look so lively, makes you feel you are there on the track. All in all AMAZING video and experience.
Hush hush! You don't want to give away some trade secrets :P
You guys just keep getting better and better!! Superb work!! :)
Srivatsa Nadiger Glad to know that :D
So should i go for ninja300 as compare to z250 & yaa I usually drive more often on city's.
Plz rply !
Woahhh !!! Great first review guys.
Sarge effortlessly moving round corners...almost fluidic.
Btw. I believe the Z250 is based on the outgoing Ninja 250. The time z250 was first launched, starting with markets like Malaysia, the ninja 300 was yet to hit showrooms.
+Vaibhav Patil We will pass these words to Sarge.Cheers! :D

Great to See this Video! Booked z250 a week back :) Go PowerDrift!
Gaurav Ganoo Whooaa! Great stuff buddy. Congratulations on your Mini Z.
PowerDrift Thanx :) You guys a are most welcome to use my bike for Road Test Video :D when it will arrive that is (Pro-biking Pune waiting period upto 2 months) I will most likely use it as sports tourer :P
epic... love the graphics of video and style... hoping to kawasaki manufature in india...
+Arun Menon Thank you. Currently the bike is being brought in from Thailand as a CKD. We hope that the guys at Kawasaki are listening. Fingers crossed. :D
This is a pretty neat bike for indian roads..It would be AWESOME if u guys cover Harley cvo limited.
+chaitanya rishi Yes. We are waiting for the bike from Harley. We will review it as soon as we get it.
Nice video. I'm watching it very late though.
Anyway, I heard you say a couple of times in the video that the upright position is great for handling. But isn't front leaning riding posture more confidence inspiring around the corners?
I always find upright posture less confidence inspiring and uncomfortable around corners in comparison.
+bellicromanx It is not an out and out track tool and built for more of city driving, hence the upright position favorable that way :)
Amazing video guys I would like to know which tires should I go for ninja 300 I'm currently running stock
Thanks :)
+Mehul Kumar A quick forum search will help you with that. :)
while cornering is there sliding coz i see the rider taking help of his leg, can we corner with confidence on this machine ?, i mean with the stock tires.
no words to say :)
superb review
first team to review z250 :) great job!!
+akhil dev Cheers! :D
Will there be an upgrade or facelift for this motorcycle soon?
Its awesome i loved it!! dats my dream bike z250 😘😘
Which one will u suggest to buy is the Ninja 300 or z250
Depends on whether you want a faired motorcycle or a naked one.
Awesome video as usual :)
Great stuff. Love the editing, VFX and SFX.
+The Curious Engineer Thanks. Don't forget to like and share the video. :)
Watch this review on 1080p50fps(Works only on Chrome). I wonder why no one noticed and mentioned it in comments. Amazing work Team Powerdrift. :)
Sonu Joshi And now you have! :P Cheers to that mate. :)
Ya I did.. Great work :)
I've been using this bike in Malaysia for half a year and so far no complaints. Apart from the not so grippy tyres (Road Winner for the Malaysian version) pretty much its a complete package. The power is there and has a good range of torque but do not expect a top speed of a normal super bike..haha.

suvicha88 Thank you for sharing your experience here at PowerDrift. ABS has become something that we can't live without specially with conditions in India. Hoping for that safety upgrade in the near future.

Longtime fan here. I just wanna say that even though the 50 fps registers more detail, it isn't always a good thing. I feel it takes a lot away from the dramatic feel of the video. Happens with movies also. Anyways, its just a nitpick. It's just an opinion and I'm sure there are others who appreciate it more than I do. Love your work as always.
Nikhil Shirsat Cheers to that. :)
wow!!! nice drift man!!! is that bike is desame as kawasaki Z 250 sl? thanks!!! and more power!!!
I'm gonna buy a Z250 2018 model. Does it have slipper clutch ?

Really waiting for a Street Triple review guys! Especially in comparison with the Z800.
Rachit Verma On boy! So are we.
Really standard and official video

i have mine the kawasaki z 250 sl... nice great bike...i love it!!!

vibhor kuchhal Yea, our editor decided to go old school on that. :P
Great overview. Looks like its will be a great city bike.
Seems to have everything it needs, but we shall cover that in our street review, hopefully soon :D
Why don't you try the review of mv agusta brutale 800 plz
Dream bike under 300cc z iz wild ❤️
This bike changed my mind!
Tbh Im thinking of buying a used z250 instead of the duke250!
Bro did u get one?
Does Z250 have slipper clutch and if not is it possible to install it?
@PowerDrift: I am real fan of your channel, What do you suggest between R3 vs tnt300 vs Z250, for me handling is important, also I do like bike having some weight( It feels more planted).
Which bike is best to buy NINJA 650 OR NINJA Z650 .WHICH BIKE MILAGE IS BETTER PLZ SUGGEST ME
hey hi PD... I am looking to buy a new bike and i am thinking to buy a Ninja 250SL... can you plz tell the release date of the bike as a lot of ppl are intrested to buy the bike.... and can you plz make a review video about it....?
Need to do a history of Kari motor speedway video, its a great story to tell. It is pride of coimbatoreans like me for sure.
arulisms Oh boy! Your city has been a great host to us. Beautiful scenery, beautiful track and ofcourse yummy food!
amazing video by powerdrift . did you guys know when kawasaki ninja 250sl is coming to india ?
Shivansh Chouksey Hey Shivansh, there is no official word on that! :(
That’s one great video presentation. Awesome man!
PD plzz tell me well this bike good for touring
Best guy for bike review✌🏻
Thank you Angry Demon.
does Z250 have slipper clutch on it and if not can we install it??
any plans to review Z300 in the near future...
Hiii.... How's the riding comfort in kawasaki z250??? Will the sholders pain after riding for a long distance???
martin kittu The comfort is great owing to its street stance. :)
PD army should is buy z250 or should I wait for z250 SL or bmw310r?
The Z250 is something that we have to test extensively. The SL on the other hand is a machine that we might not get. As far as the G310R goes, October is when we shall know :)
Which One U Recommend,Kawasaki Z250 Or Duke 250(2017)??!!
love the bike....practical and thrilling as well....
was waiting for the review....ll book it as soon as posssible now.. :)
Navjot Singh Great choice buddy!
Is it upright straight seating position for 5'4" rider
Should i wait for yamaha Y25 for india or the updated version of Honda CBR 250r of i should buy kawasaki z250...?
KD patel There is no official news on either of the Yamaha or the Honda. The Kwacker belongs to a much different genre than the previous two.
its nice but on pricing wats the answer on regarding a RACER.wat would u chose?
+Vishnu Manohar Huh?
guys I own the z250 and am facing problems with the tyres..can you suggest a good upgrade and could I up size it??
Is it out in the market..?
And comparing to the ninja 300...which is a better choice..??
+sid satheesh Yes it is available. And for the choice of bikes, it really depends on what your usage will be.
Z 250 or benelli tnt300 is the best?
I'm getting Z250 soon, rolling it out in the next few more weeks. What tyres would you think best suit this bike on day to day ride instead of putting them into race track? I'll be using it to travel to working and needed to travel around 75km every single day on regular highways.
Get Pirelli - Speed Demon. Amazing set! I'm currently using it for my Ninja 250.
It's time you reviewed the Z300. Plz do that
which one z gud to buy z 250 or r3
Powerdrift do z300 is coming to India along with new z650 , z900?? Pls tell me...
We don't have an official word on that yet, but make sure you follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for latest updates.
Awesome video as always from the Power drift team as Saagar explained there's no ABS but does it have Slipper clutch regarding its high price
Would the Z300 be a good buy? My country is offering both the 250 and 300... though the 300 comes with ABS and slipperC. Just wondering if the extra cost is worth it.
ABS and Slipper Clutch are always the way to go.
Thanks for the response =)
A job well done as usual......I just wanted to ask....r u guys gonna review aprilia rsv4 anytime in future...?
+Aditya Virkar Thank you! And no not any time soon.
how is this bike's refinement and engine heating problem as compared to duke 390? and there is news about the z250 sla much cheaper version comming to india, is that happening any soon?
+cool_buddy The bike is very refined and it being a Kawasaki you can expect it to perform very well. And about the Z250 SLA, there is no official word on it.
Powerdrift ! You guys make amazing videos but please make road tests on the bikes you review on track . all of us are waiting for the RC twins .
All of us await access to the RC Twins as well :(
oh ! did not know ..I am sorry !
which one is better to buy, .. this one or duke 390 ??
Depends on what you crave for in a motorcycle. There's the sweet refinement of the parallel twin on Z, but awesome tyres on the Duke. Heck! Don't make us choose! Buy both!
Cant wait for the road test!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
karan ajith kumar Even we can't. Our palms are itching already. ;)
will be great to have this mini Z in a road test..bcz thats where it is going to run more....hope to see it soon as bmw g310r is on its way..
+Sanjay Das How about a comparo? ;)
yaaaa...that definitely will Rock...jst waiting to c which comes up as the better hunting knife.. B-)
planning to buy a 250cc bike in the mid of 2015.which will be better option ? R25 or TVS draken ??
+prasun “cutedevil” roy Fortunately or unfortunately India got to see the R3 and not the R25. A full review is on the way. As far the Draken goes, there is no official word on it yet.
+PowerDrift eagerly waiting for the full review of R3.
howz the exhaust note compared to that of aTNT 300?
+carter slade It is similar to that of a Ninja 300.
good work guyz................ really impresive
Nikhil Nair Cheers to that Nikhil! :)
is this one better than r25 I know one of them is nacked and other is super sport but performance wise.....Which one is better??Kawasaki or yamaha
Athul S Kumar We can only say that when we review both the bikes together. However, both the machines made our test riders go WOW!
How is it, when compared to Duke 390 and BMW g310r ?
Powerdrift, what's the opinion ?
+FCS studio Yet to lay our hands on the G310R comrade!
+PowerDrift, expecting a superb review of the BMW streetfighter from you, PD.
All The Best. 👍
What about Duke 390 vs Kawasaki Z250 ?
i am looking forward for my first bike to buy . so , should i go for this or wait for the benelli 300 and the r25 .
as compared to the r25 , which would turn out to be a better package
Kawasaki has always had a real tough build quality.. hard to break a Kawai
The Z250 is one fun bike, the R25 still not around, the BN not around either. At this point in time, it's pretty much the bird in hand philosophy here!
which bike should i buy. z250 or benelli 300 or R3??
r3 ...u know yamaha will stay in the market ...+ service backup ....
you also rode the Yamaha R25 which one is more fun and suitable for daily city commutes?
Kunal Shukla The Z250 being a naked has good ergonomics for city riding but will have your face plastered with wind blast on the highway. The R25 on the other hand, looks sporty but has great ergos that can be suitable for city traffic.
With the R25 not being around at the moment this seems a great fit. :)
PowerDrift thanks for your time and reply
Ohk......
Taken that this bike is lower in terms of engine displacement and goes as fast as duke 390 and the looks are just mind boggling....but i would still go for a duke 390.....
After all abs and metzeler tyres are something which makes hell of a difference.
Also at the price of about 3.5 lakhs on road for Z250, I believe Ninja 300 is by default a better go for those Richie rich(s) out there at about 4 lakhs, as it looks a bit more topnotch and with slipper clutch Ninja 300 deserves quite some consideration as well....
+Mehul Agrawal But what you wouldn't get is a...KAWASAKI
You can get ninja300 for the same price now
Should i put my money on this. ..? Or 390 duke...im 6.2ft in height ...which one would u tell me to opt ...any new releases....?
+kapil koka A lot has changed. The Yamaha R3 is now in the picture too. As far as your height goes, the duke 390 is shorter and you will be a bit cramped up. Head to the nearest Yamaha and Kawasaki showrooms and see which one suits your body the best. :)
What are the performance factors affected by using a shorter wheelbase than a longer one?
Enhances the maneuverability of the bike.
thank you...
Does Kawasaki z250 comes with abs variant
Confused to buy which one i should buy tnt 300 or ninja 250r ?
Prajeesh Ssj The Ninja 250R has been discontinued! You get the 300 now.
PowerDrift sorry
I meant ninja z250 sorry i made confuse u guys too
does the 2017 model gets abs?
I just compared the Z250's and the 2005 EX 250 or Ninja 250R's frames and i don't see the difference Except for the subframe at the back maybe shorter, but designwise is identical
@PowerDrift could u please make a comparison video between the ninja 300 n z250
what can be a best value for money in bracket of 2L to 3L???
PD hope u would ans
how is the built quality & that sweet matt green colour....
Nirmit Singh When you talk about Kawasaki, everything is just perfect.
PowerDrift am very much confused 😕 b/w z250 n Benelli 300.. As am luking to buy one these parallel mills. I need to knw whch one would be better for city riding conditions n also in terms of maintenance.
Girish J Ram This should solve your query - th-cam.com/video/i98gbGklHvY/w-d-xo.html
+PowerDrift #Thanks team #PD for ur excellent review n i got Z250 diz month..
very much impressed n really its is an perfect byk for me in city riding conditions here in Bengaluru.
#kawasaki #Z250
Sarge I m quite confused between rc390 and rc200, i am riding a yamaha r15 as of now and looking for an upgrade, should I go for the rc390 or the rc200 thanks in advance good luck ahead
The RC390 would feel a lot more proper upgrade in terms of power. More is usually better ;)
will the bike suit tall riders??? coz my legs extend beyond the depressions on the tank of duke,that was a major problem with duke... my height is 6 2'
Nithin Ragav Sarge is about 5'11" tall and he found it to be quite comfortable. The Duke is a little deviated when it talks about ergonomics for taller riders.
PowerDrift Awesome review as always guys!!...
Just one question...
Does Kawasaki have any plans on launching the ninja 250sl and z250sl in India???
Issac Jacob Kawasaki has announced that they shall launch one more bike by the end of this year. Lets wait and watch what they come up with. :)
one thing I like about u guys is .. u reply very quickly ... love u guyz .. keep bringing more of these reviews .. my question is that I heard from somewhere that semi pro and pro riders use front brakes so often rather than rear .. is it true ? while cornering and in other situation as well u use front brakes only or both together?
Mubeen Kulai We always do that for our friends & we shall continue doing so. To learn more about riding skills, there are a couple of schools in India. Check them up. :)
I know riding and driving both , but i was using rear breaks often .. then I got to know from someone that using front brakes will lead to efficient deceleration .. is it? if yes then only front or both brakes ? PowerDrift
PowerDrift is there any school in Kolkata? If there is then can you plz tell me the name? It would be really helpful. I know basic biking, even have a license. But I want to learn more.
Mubeen - it depends on the motorcycle riding. As a thumb rule the front brakes will lead to efficient deceleration for front obsessed bikes. This however would not be a great idea for 'stopping' a rear biased cruiser.
Use both the brakes, be front focused on street fighters, sporty machines.
Pls give a comparo btwn duke 390 and z250.according to u people which 1 is the best
Shidhu. Madhu We shall a list of permutations and combinations as to which bike should be compared with which one. Lets see which one tops the list.
Is it good then hyosung gt250r and also for daily riding
sahil malik The GT 250R has a very committed riding position and your body might take a toll if put to daily use.
Guys, excellent job as always. You are my go to guys for bike reviews. Needed a bit of help. Z250 or Duke 390. Performance is the key factor for me followed by overall build quality and I like riding long and hard. Price is not a concern. Have been mulling over this for almost a month now, would really appreciate your inputs
priyesh mackollil Z250 - Naked, streetfighter looks and sports the Kawasaki badge!
Duke 390 - Fiesty, light, ABS & bang for buck! Which one would we go for? BOTH :P
hahaha. If only that was possible. So, performance and features-wise, its the Duke right?
Haha, nice reviews and the fun at the end.. Keep up the good work...
Anthony Aranjo Lol! Yeah, fun goes synonymous with PowerDrift. :D
Can this be used for day to day commute purposes. Is it feasible
Being a naked, it is comfortable in the city and can be easily used for commuting. :)
The wait is finally over.!!!
And now we wait for more likes, shares, subscribers :D
Hello, I am considering this bike to buy, but just want to clear a little confusion, how is the "upright" seating position on this bike?, I am ok with handlebars but are the footpegs placed more towards rear?, I feel having rear set footpegs gives more control and confident over bike in corners and even in straight line & after riding Yamaha R15, Honda CBR 150R I am pretty sure about it.
Thanks
Akshay Hingne Since the Z250 is more inclined towards being a street fighter, the rearsets are not that rear and are comfortable! As you can see, it can be taken around corners. :)
