the newer ninja 250 is a very cold blooded machine, mainly because of the stock carb settings. i dont know about the older ones. this bike takes a little bit to warm up when its in the 30s & 40s. its not that bad though. let it warm up 3-5 minutes, and then take off with it on half choke, and then after a mile or 2 you can turn it off. every bike i have owned has had different cold weather characteristics. some were good, and some were bad. this bike is pretty good about warming up. i had a 750 katana that took 15 minutes to warm up, and you were not going anywhere until that thing warmed up. i had a 650 vstar that hardly ever needed any choke no matter what temp it was. they are all different.
