Woah. Hold on a sec.
When they came out in 1988, they were very similar to the then stylish ninja 600r. Go look at pictures and you'll see that they're nearly identical. In fact, the 88-07 250 would fool just about anyone at a glance, myself included, that it was a 600. Its very similar to what Kawasaki is doing with the 08-12 model and the 13+ model. they just missed a ticket to the cosmetic remodeling train once in the middle around 2000 when they started with the more modern looking ZX6R.
As for disgusting, yes the classic 250 is a little dated, but not disgusting. If you've ever actually seen one from an angle at the back, they have all the classic lines of a sport bike; same with the view from directly to the side. The front is just a little dated because of the headlight and main fairing. Ugly, from some angles. Dated, yes. Classic, yes. Disgusting? That's your opinion, but remember that mine's faster
