Kawasaki Japan leaks photos and info on new 250 slated for numerous world markets—including the U.S. (http://www.sportrider.com/news/146_12070_2013_kawasaki_ninja_250r_first_look/index.html)Kawasaki Heavy Industries—parent company of Kawasaki Motor, the motorcycle manufacturer—is a huge corporation, with an incredibly diverse portfolio of products (check out our story on the company here), and the motorcycle division is actually only a small part of that company. The motorcycle manufacturing section belongs to a division of KHI called the “consumer products” division; this is because all of the other products the company makes are business or government-related items (ships, trains, aircraft engine parts, manufacturing/construction equipment, etc.).

So when KHI decided to revamp its corporate website, it also redesigned its consumer products section to show off its increasingly successful motorcycle division. There apparently must have been some crossed wires as far as when the information on certain new models was supposed to be released, leading to a full section on the new 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 250R (albeit in Japanese) on the site. Granted, the Ninja 250R is a global model for Kawasaki with a number of markets in line for what has turned into one of the most successful bikes in the company’s catalog.

Umm... what? The Japanese KHI site did not update until it was officially announced in Indonesia. It wasn't leaked nor was it a slip up. I read that Kawasaki USA was upset to have been blind-sided by it and having beend kept in the dark, but that's an entirely different story.
