what is the weight of a 250 and a 500 kawasaki what model should i start with im beginer

Answer 1

Here in PA they offer free motorcycle safety course and provide motorcycles for the course, They are 250's and most of them are Honda Shadows. These are good training cycles and are not very expensive. However, if this will be your first bike buy used and pay cash, get the experience of riding before moving up to bigger and more expensive bikes. I have had friends who bought big bikes like Goldwings and rode only a few times then selling them at a loss because they weren't ready for a big bike. Nothing wrong with starting small and working up to bigger later on. In fact the smaller bike will normally sell quicker when you are ready to move up, then use the money for your next bike.

Answer 2

The weights are in the above post: remeber the difference will be smaller, but still noticeable, with the added weight of rider, fuel, oil etc (and the manufacturers tend to lie a little bit). Also, if you have the self-control to use your power wisely: if you are going to go flat out everywhere, buy a smaller capacity/power bike!

Consider also the power output and the maximum rpm of the engine (I won't bore you with discussions of torque versus horsepower). An engine that produces its power lower down in the rev range will be more tractable and flexible: you don't have to 'rev the **** off it' to make it go. This makes it less demanding and safer.

A 500cc engine with a redline (maximum safe rpm) at 10,000 will be an 'easier' bike to ride than a 250cc with a redline at 15,000 rpm, even though both will be capable of a similar top speed. It will have more power available more of the time, rather than sacrificing low-down power for a screaming top-end.

As always, try to ride a few different types of bikes (and importantly bikes with different capacities/numbers of cylinders) to see what feels good.

Learn how to spell or us the spellcheck.....duh!
Kawasaki doesn't make a 250cc bike that I know of...they have the 125 Eliminator. BTW....go with the 500.

Answer 4

The 250 is 138Kg and the 500 is 176Kg. This is dry weight. So oil & coolant will up it some.

Here are specs on both bikes. Both are good beginner bikes.
