2013 650 & zx10r

LoD575 · July 10th, 2012, 01:12 PM

Kawasaki has announced the new 650 and ZX10r. Here are a couple pics from the web.

I think the white and black paint scheme is damn sexy.

Here is the Kawasaki 2013 Unwrapped link Unwrapped

areifel · July 10th, 2012, 01:15 PM

Miles_Prower · July 10th, 2012, 01:16 PM

oh NOW they start offering white bikes..
if they offer a white 250r i'm going to flip lol

JELY1990 · July 10th, 2012, 01:21 PM

The zx10r sort of reminds me of a zebra.

Hopefully the white color trend will continue with the other models.

The last white 250 was in 2011 as a special edition.

Compooky · July 10th, 2012, 01:33 PM

The 650 looks so sexy... screw perfecting skills on the 250! Time to trade up.

NikkitaNinja · July 10th, 2012, 01:34 PM

They did nothing with the ZX10R body wise except for the switching around of the green and black on the tank area. Other than that I dont see much difference.

LoD575 · July 10th, 2012, 01:40 PM

Not a fan of the 650. This will probably be my next bike.

Well there you have it. You know it's sexy when it adversely affects your spelling and grammar.

Or... the hottest Police bike you've ever seen.

LoneRonin · July 10th, 2012, 02:24 PM

theres nothing new about those bikes other than the colour schemes...

Jiggles · July 10th, 2012, 03:07 PM

Damn I was about to go pick up a Ninja 1000 but now I'll wait to see if they come out with the new colors soon

Jiggles · July 10th, 2012, 03:09 PM

Aw goddammit those ****ers gave ABS to the 2013 650! Bastards!!!!

Jiggles · July 10th, 2012, 03:14 PM

Aside from the white 650, the colors are disappointing

No red spring, just yellow??? Wtf?

Not a big lover of the 650 either. Something about that seat and exhaust. The biggest thing I think I hate about them is that gas tank makes them look all hump backed (that fz6 is same way). Could you imagine what it would look like with a tank bag on it ?

So basically, all thats changed is the color ?

.....oops i see the 650 has abs now, thats kinda cool but who really needs abs on a 650 ??

Stingray1000 · July 10th, 2012, 03:56 PM

I like the 650!!!!

I like the 650 looks, but I'm not a fan of the vibrations these Kawi twins give.. told it's even worse on the 650 than our 250

Exactly same bike I was thinking of (color and all)

Lawl. Kyuute

And when I say cute, I really mean slightly creepy. .__.

Definitely leaning toward the 10's color scheme. (drop dead gorgeous!) Nicer balance of colors.

csmith12 · July 10th, 2012, 06:11 PM

I just don't understand why they put that UFO style exhaust on the ZX10.

Idk, I kinda like it. :\ It looks clean like it fits w/ the bike unlike the cbr250 :\
Are those passenger grab handles on the 650?
Tho, upon closer inspection, I like how the 650's fairings form around the engine better. ... And not liking the "nose" on the 10... >_>
