ER6-F and Ninja 250R share the same engine configuration of parallel twin and that's it, everything else is completely different.

The 250R is a Kawasaki with full on sports bike looks and handling and they're available in Lime Green...it's a Ninja. ER6-Fs are quirky looking commuter bikes with odd frames and not worthy of the same tag.

I wouldnt say "full on sports bike looks" as it has very upright handle bars and thin wheels but it is a very nice looking 250..... The ninja 250 and the er-6f are built in the same factory though read it in ride a few months back

yes they are, the only bikes to be built out of Japan, i think they are made in Thialand, But As Lozzo says two completly diff machines. interestingly enough the ER-6 is called the Ninja 250 in the states.

The ER-6 is called the Ninja 650 in the states. I saw one while I was over there.

They call the kwak equivalent of a GS500 a ninja in the states though

Yeah, but that's for Americans - people who can think for themselves know it's not a real Ninja, just like we know Bush isn't a real politician

My first Kawasaki ZZR1100C2 was built in America. I had a Japan built one a few years later and that wasn't as well bolted together or as well finished as the US built one.
