    I rode the ninja 250 for years. I love the new design of the bike. For long distances however..
    You can do it, I rode mine for almost 1000 miles one way from Texas to Florida, the high revs at freeway speed can get to you after 6 hours or so...
    be prepared to stop every 200 miles or so. I do that on my 750 anyway.
    The bike is the best ever, and as soon as I can I will be getting another 250. How can you beat 75 mpg and $80 a year on insurance?
    Good Luck

    Why not ? get on the bloody thing and ride it- you may have a sore ar$e at the end.
    What do you call a long distance, I regularly do a 280 mile trip.

    i wouldn't recommend going to far, with a riding position similar to a monkey making love to a football, you are gonna be uncomfortable after about an hour, if your gonna travel get a tourer, you will get to see the views to that way, not just the cats eyes

    That's more to do with you than the bike. Some guy rode a lawnmower across a couple states once. A good number of people walked from the east to the west pushing a cart over a rough trail in covered wagon days. Riding a 250 ninja a long distance sounds to me like a piece of cake.

    Of course you can.

    You can tour on a race bike, and take trail bikes on the track if you want. They'll all do any of it, within their own limitations.

    Just accept that you'll have to work at it a bit more than you'd have to on a "touring bike".
