2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R

Advantages: Performance, big bike looks, handling.
Disadvantages: No centre stand, narrow mirrors.

...I own a 2008 Ninja 250R. I've owned the bike for 10 months now and this is my experience so far. When it comes to looks this bike excells. In the showroom I could hardly tell the difference between the big bikes and this one. It just looks great and really sporty. I've taken the bike on quite a long ride and I'm 5 10'. By the end my legs were a bit stiff and aching but not really bad. The seating position overall is comfortable. On the negative side, the bike has no centre stand. The mirrors are narrow and took me a while to get used to them. I'm now used to moving my elbow in before glancing in the mirror. Also, I've read in some reviews that the bike has a fuel gauge but it doesn't. All it has is a fuel reserve light to tell you when you are getting low. Don't get me wrong these are all very minor things...

DON'T MESS WITH ME - I'M A LITTLE NINJA!!!

Advantages: Teaches good skills; learn through play
Disadvantages: Not enough one-to-one tutoring

...admit that I am going through a very strict period with him at the moment (mean mummy!) but I have zero tolerance when it comes to naughty kids so I will not have my own misbehaving. So again, I was on the lookout for something alternative to quell those occasional little moments of delinquency (only joking, he?s not that bad!) Little Ninjas was recommended to me by a friend whose five year old son had been a member for the past year, and what she told me sounded just the kind of activity that Matthew needed. So, What Is Little Ninjas? Little Ninjas is the junior version of the Korean martial art of Taekwondo. Specifically aimed at children between the ages of 4 and 6, Little Ninjas is designed to improve both motor and listening skills and is aimed at providing children with both physical and mental benefits. Although classes...

Review of Beverly Hills Ninja (DVD)

Mini ninjas is a great game!

Advantages: great game, very fun to play and lasts a while
Disadvantages: none!

...Mini Ninjas is a game of a traditional ninja story. A great ninja master senses trouble and sends his best students out, but none of them return. So he sends his final student out - Hiro (who is the main character that you play). The whole point of the game is to defeat the evil ninja lord who has ben using dark magic to turn innocent animals into samurai warriors (when you defeat these warriors they turn back into little animals !) You begin as Hiro, the youngest of the mini ninjas whos strength is magic. Throughout the game you collect about 12 magic spells which only hiro can use. These range from fire balls to ice storms to strong winds etc. ALong the story you find your friends who you can control instead of Hiro.

Review of Mini Ninjas (PS3)

Ninja Gaiden 2 reviewed.

Advantages: Challenging, Bloody, Enemies heads flying around. Good choice of Weapons.
Disadvantages: Poor level desing, poor graphics, poor audio, might be too hard, CAMERA.

...First of all I want to say sorry if I'll harm any Ninja Gaiden fans, I have played this game for some time, and I regret that I've payed 40 quid for it in this review I will be honest about this game. This game is Hack'n'Slash type of game, and there is lot's of battles in which you need to fight with all kind of different enemies. Every enemy have some abilities that makes the battles more challenging, you can't just run straight and swing your sword all around, the game makes you to jump as some crazy freak and make all different types of kick ass combos but that's what being a ninja is about. There are plenty of nice looking moves that you can do, but with some time you get bored with them, then you need to join them in pretty advanced combos, but when you master that, then again it gets boring. Few type of weapons is helping this...

My Mean Green Kawasaki

Advantages: Powerful, fast, good looks
Disadvantages: heavy, long reach and long legs required

...I purchased my 1993 ZX-7R from Lings in Harleston for £2,000 about 4 years ago. After cutting my teeth on a VFR400R (an absolutely gorgeous bike) I thought it was time to move up to something a bit more powerful. At the time I weighed 13.5 stone, despite me being short at 5'7". Due to my weight I thought I needed something that was at least 600cc (the 400 started to struggle pulling me!). I had always liked the Kawasaki ZX's. The 600s were a bit out of my price range but I found this American imported ZX-7 on the Lings website. I called and booked a test ride for the following Saturday. When I arrived at the shop the ZX was already parked out the front with a full tank waiting. The first thing I noticed was the dimensions of the bike - it was huge. Kawasakis (especially the older ones) always seem to be big bikes. When...

Review of Kawasaki ZX7R

Abysmal slapstick ninja nonsense

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: Everything, painful to watch

...Red Shadow, otherwise known as Akakage, is taken from Japanese Manga and frankly thats where it should have stayed. CAST: Masanobu Ando ?. Akakage Megumi Okina ?. Koto-Hime Kumiko Aso ?. Asuka Jun Murakami ?. Aokage Naoto Takenaka ?. Shirokage Fumiya Fujii ?. Ranmaru The plot is set alledgedly, in feudal Japan. After a comet crashes a master swordmaker fashions weapons that can cut through the toughest substances on earth. This made me wonder how this substance could be worked with, if it is so impervious to earthly metals etc. Anyway a trio of ninja's called, amazingly.... red shadow, blue shadow, and white shadow {must have taken months to think those names up} want to get their hands on these weapons, with the intention of stopping feuding lords from feuding. Yes they are going to stop them from fighting by fighting them...

Review of Red Shadow - The Ninja Movie (DVD)

Ninja films made as they should be

Advantages: A mature serious approach to the genre
Disadvantages: compared to some martial arts films now, looksa little dated

...Introduction ☺☺☺☺☺☺ During the 1980's a fair number of ninja movies were made. Many were poor due to the fact that they concentrated too much on the fantasy elements of traditional ninja, and as a consequence many were simply too far fetched. For me one of the greatest stars of ninja films of this era was Sho Kosugi. Sho Kosugi managed to give his films a serious element of realism. Whilst Enter the Ninja concentrates largely on Franco Nero's character, Sho Kosugi has a great part in the film as a disillusioned bad guy. The film is a more serious look into the world of ninjas and actually attempts to put a decent plot into the movie Who's in it? ☺☺☺☺☺☺ Franco Nero~ Cole Susan George~ Mary Ann Flanders Sho Kosugi~ Hasegawa Alex Courtney~ Frank Landers...
