It does look good, but the old lime green has a long and proud history. It has been THE Kawasaki color for decades. It's tradition.

A year ago, on the program "Twist the Throttle," they told the story of that color. It came about as a thumbing of the nose at other companies... green is supposedly bad luck at the race track. So K painted their bikes the loudest, rudest green they could. They even gave the formula for the paint on the show (x parts yellow to y parts blue, don't remember the numbers).

Kawasaki IS Team Green, and that's the color. None other.
