Hello Everyone,
Im new to this forum, and i have yet to explore it. And Im new new riding, its my 3rd day :S but i pretty much got the hang of it...

I've been into bikes for some time now, and i know my bikes so to speak. but here in Lebanon, Kawasaki's are not very popular, especially the older model ones, like the one i own.

Last Saturday i Purchased my first ever bike, the Kawasaki ZX250R (I think) 1989. its cheap, and runs great, and its a very user friendly learners bike. i have plans on restoring the bike back to mint condition, but that will happend after the learning process is over.

the problem im facing is that i cant seem to find specifications and information and aftermarket parts for my bike since Kawasaki''s have a bagillion names. i dont know if its a GPX, EX250, ZXR 250, ZZR 250, ninja, bla bla...Google lost me on this one

Here is a pic of my bike, hope its enuf, and srry bout the quality,phone camera



ill post more pix in my album...
Peace N Love, and Thanks In Advance

 

Congrats!

That would be a 250R also known as a EX250 F Series.

 

Wow, thanks...ill look up info about the bike.
by my calculations, its a 5 speed. lol
correct me if im wrong

 

1989 was the third gen 250 and should be a 6speed. 36hp is what it's rated at I believe.

 

crashed it into a Nissan Murano...yay! the front end is in pieces
getting it fixed!
i was on my way to the mechanix...thats sucks sooo bad!
crappy drivers!

 

sounds like you are ok, that is good. Sorry to hear about your newly referenced ride.

 

www.motorbikes.be is the best site I've found for specifications and a picture on nearly every motorcycle ever made. If you are trying to figure out what you've got, especially since it's probably not a US model 250 go there and see what you can reference it too.
