( Hey, better late than never… right? )
So, 2011 Ninja 250r’s are now on dealer lots and the big change for this year is going to be the gauge cluster. Kawasaki went with a lil more ‘boy racer’ type look to go along with the updated (ie. 2008) design of the 250r. Sadly tho, it seems to only be an artwork update, and the often asked for temp gauge is still missing. Not the end of the earth right?

One interesting note is that the Kawi folks introduced a more muted white version. I actually think this is great timing on Kawasaki’s part as it might convince someone looking for a lil less sport look to pick one up. As to me, the white mutes the styling a little bit. But Don’t get me wrong, it still looks great — and the wheel stripes are a very nice touch.
