The bike however does not share the layout of the present generation bikes like the Ninja 250 and 300 but looks more like a standard Ninja. The single headlight integrated with the RR Mono resembles very much like the Ninja 250. A liquid cooled 249cc single cylinder fuel-injection engine powers the bike. With the max out of 27.6HP at 9700rpm the motor achieves a top torque of 16.7 ft-lb at 8200 rpm. In comparison the Ninja 250 possess 31.5HP maximum power at 11000rpm and average lower torque peak at 15.5ft-lb at 10000rpm.

On the weightier side the Ninja 250 was higher with 379.2 pounds where as the Mono weights on the lower side with just 332.9 pounds. This all works out to a similar weight and power ratio between these two bikes. The Ninja Mono RR is fitted with a brand new Steel trellis frame which according to Kawasaki provides agility very much like the Ninja RR powered by 150cc 2-stroke engine.
