Anyone know if the 2015 ninja 300 special edition in green will be the same colour scheme as the 2014? The 2013 model green scheme was so much nicer, what's up with the red wheel stripes on the 2014 lol!

All the 2015 colors are on the kawi site already. The SE color for 2015 is black with some decent basic graphics. If you want green, it's just a basic all-green color scheme.

I saw the website thanks, i guess the 2014 is a nicer paint scheme than the 2015 reg. plain green. I like the carbon fiber effects on the 2013, oh well

DID THEY FINALLY GET RID OF THE NASTY IRC TIRES?!?!?!?!?!?!??!


And we finally get the all green non-SE paint scheme. Score.

Indeed, that seems to be the case :)

Yes good, now maybe someone will drop their green 300 and I can buy their fairings for cheap so I don't have to paint again :lol:

With your luck, it will be a third separate shade of green. You'll have the most visually agonizing paint job that's all kawi green in the history of the ninjette. :lol:

I was hoping they would do the 30th anniversary scheme like on the ZX6R and ZX10R. But that looks good!

Oh, lol. I was considering Plasti-dip too. Would be a fun project, but I'm not into really tearing apart my new bike at this moment.. lol

Plasti dip is fun to experiment with. I don't know how well it would hold up on the tank but its easy enough to redo if needed. :thumbup:

Maybe you folks will also?

Besides the 30th anniversary model we also have red/black or gray/yellow

The red/black in person is very nice/striking

I'm guessing the 2015 SE colors will be like the 2015 ZX10 and ZX6 SE colors: green white black ( as that thai pic) .

I avoid black bikes, the appeal of the newer Kawasaki green is high visibility. This fashion of black bike, leathers and helmet is a bit crazy on public roads, it acts like pavement camo.

I'm gonna say that the tire you posted likely isn't the on on the new ninjette.

Look at the link you posted, none of those sizes match the spec of ninjette's tires. Those tires are intended for classic bikes who want modern tires.

I have nothing against individual brands, I just know that the model of Dunlops that came on the pregen sucked.

You can get those tyres for 110F and 140R

Yup, my 250 was the 2012 black and red se. If the had offered a red 300 I would have gone for that.

I want a blue 300, with black accents like the 250 thunder blue. I actually like my IRC's for everyday highway riding, I do like pirelli's more.

The nice thing here where they are built is parts are not too pricey too.
I once priced new side fairings & they were like $180 total for the two sides

With that in mind I could easily buy these new black/red ones & slap them on my 2013 red/white one :thumbup:

We should all ride like we're on pavement camo, regardless of bike color.

Are they? I don't see any SE ABS models, which tells me that there is something yet to come.

First year, ABS was SE-only
Second year, ABS was SE and non-SE
Third year they have only showed us non-SE ABS

All the 2015 colors are on the kawi site already. The SE color for 2015 is black with some decent basic graphics. If you want green, it's just a basic all-green color scheme.
Booo! Hisss! I've hated that we couldn't get proper green since it launched here while the UK and Australia have been flaunting it all over these forums! This is what it takes to get me interested in financing a new bike: The color I want is finally on the model I want (green non-SE ABS).

We will have a candy plasma blue/ebony as one of our 300 SE models up here in Canada for 2015, the other one is metallic moondust gray...

CPB RETURNS! Love it, but I think it looks better on the J/K-style bikes. Non-SE green or Monster styling (black with green rims, seat, logos) look better on the 300-style bikes.
