stupid questions:
are all bikes manual?
does the ninja 250r in particular take regular unleaded gas?
Answer to question 1.
Most bikes are considered Manual but there is one i saw that is automatic
Ridley makes a automatic motorcycle.
It uses the CVT transmission.
from idle to 1000 rpm your in neutral
then a roll on the throttle and your in gear.
Honda showed a sport motorcycle that uses the cvt back in 2005, i don't know what came of this.
Answer to question 2.
If you look under the seat is says this.
FUEL: RESEARCH OCTANE NO. (RON) 91 MIN.
This is confusing to some since in the US most of us have never heard of RON, and can easily assume that it means ‘Octane‘.
RON = Research Octane Number
MON = Motor Octane Number
If you take the average of the two, you get Octane.
But the 2008 Ninja 250R takes 87 octane. This is from page 32 from the manual. So you should be fine.
