Is the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25R good for beginners?

Broadly yes. With 249cc and 50 hp @ 15500 rpm (51 hp + ram air), the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25R is manageable for newer riders and is roughly A2-friendly. Confirm licence eligibility for your market and build confidence gradually.

Is the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25R good for shorter riders?

Often yes. The 785mm seat height is on the lower side, so shorter riders frequently reach the ground with confidence. A low seat or lowering options can help further.

Is the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25R good for touring?

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25R's 15L tank means more frequent fuel stops on a long trip. It can still tour, but a larger or auxiliary tank helps on big miles.
