\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As fall approaches with\u00a0winter\u00a0following closely after, much of the country will find itself under mountains of cold and snow.\u00a0 Families in the great northern cities prepare for a long hibernation, a long season of “sleep” where the former waking world of outdoor activity and recreation will take a back\u00a0seat to the search for warmth and indoor comfort.\u00a0 Not so in Phoenix, Arizona.<\/p>\n

Much of the Phoenix Valley area is made up of transplants from colder environs, and not just snow birds, but young people, entrepreneurs and young professionals in search of a land of eternal summer, a haven for those who need to be outside enjoying the fresh air and rugged\u00a0natural southwestern beauty.\u00a0 They have found this shangri-la in Phoenix, Arizona.\u00a0\u00a0From this writer’s perspective, there is no\u00a0better way to embrace the good fortune of\u00a0living in this warm valley than on the back of a 2011 Kawasaki Ninja 250r, a shockingly affordable and stylish\u00a0road rocket from which to base any solo adventure.<\/p>\n

A fun yet easy ride, with a mix of cruiser and sport style of ergonomics and handling, the Kawasaki Ninja 250r is considered the optimal in an entry level sport bike.\u00a0 With a fuel efficiency of anywhere between 50 mpg and 70 mpg(depending on how you drive), and a starting price of $3,900, the bike is the perfect primary vehicle for the adventurous bachelor or bachelorette, or the perfect form of secondary transportation for the commited\u00a0weekend warrior.<\/p>\n

Phoenix Valley auto enthusiasts can view and test drive any current production model\u00a0Kawasaki at any Phoenix Valley Kawasaki\u00a0dealer.\u00a0 Phoenix Valley auto enthusiasts should plan on attending the Phoenix Arizona International Auto Show to learn about the most recent concepts and innovations from\u00a0Kawasaki and the rest of the auto industry, taking place at the Phoenix Arizona Convention center over Thanksgiving weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As fall approaches with\u00a0winter\u00a0following closely after, much of the country will find itself under mountains of cold and…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1682,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[12],"class_list":{"0":"post-1680","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-car-reviews","8":"tag-featured","9":"cs-entry","10":"cs-video-wrap"},"yoast_head":"\nFind Your Inner Warrior in Kawasaki Ninja 250r<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"2011 Kawasaki Ninja 250r 250 Perfect Beginners Sport Bike Desert Motorcycle Phoenix Arizona Valley\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/find-your-inner-warrior-in-kawasaki-ninja-250r\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Find Your Inner Warrior in Kawasaki Ninja 250r\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"2011 Kawasaki Ninja 250r 250 Perfect Beginners Sport Bike Desert Motorcycle Phoenix Arizona Valley\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/find-your-inner-warrior-in-kawasaki-ninja-250r\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Arizona Auto News -
