Official 2013 Ninja 300 (and 250) Thread - Page 6

choneofakind · August 1st, 2012, 07:19 AM

I think it looks more like the zx10 than the 650.

Does it look like there's enough clearance on the bodywork to use real clipons? any info on the engine, fuel delivery, or suspension yet?

Looks like the same old IRC tires

No spec details yet, but from the blog I can sum it up to you:

- Fuel injection
- ABS option

price on the road $4990 (IDR 49.000.000)
with ABS $5690 (IDR 56.900.000)

but these prices are with Indonesian tax included.

It surely will be released into Indonesian market in October 2012.

The tyres will be likely the same IRC tyres, but no mention about what size.

choneofakind · August 1st, 2012, 07:27 AM

Holy hell that looks good in red!

And dude Floyd, way to accidentally hit this almost on the head. I'm now wondering how many of your other April fools threads are gonna happen for real

(Kang) Taufik is respectable Indonesian blogger with his blog TMCBlog. The Indonesian Kawi website is yet to release update about this, but since the marketing trends here put blogs and the Internet as one of main channels, his photos and blogs are surely believable.

CZroe · August 1st, 2012, 07:38 AM

Damn. I was pretty close! I wonder if the dash fits the current newgen.

OK, from now on, we have to use the series designation.

F-series, F-bike, 250F, etc for what we formerly called the "pregen"
J/K-series, J/K-bike, 250J/K, etc for what was previously called the "newgen"

Or just "classic" for the F-series and prior, "last-gen" for the J/K series ("previous-generation" being easily confused for the F-series), and "late-gen" for the latest generation.

yup bro.. I am your blog fan!

No words on engine spec update other than FI and ABS? And tyre size too? Can't wait to know!

choneofakind · August 1st, 2012, 08:01 AM

I want to see what the indo guys do with it with aftermarket stuff

Is the engine 250 cc's or 300? The official picture looks very sexy in green. Mini ZX10

yeah haha we got the 86-87 old bikes, the 88-07 classic bikes, the 08-12 j bikes, and the 13+ new bikes.

This is gonna be huge in the us. Its everything that everyone has been griping about. It even has individual indicator bulbs on the dash for each direction of turn signal, a digital Speedo, and digital has gauge and clock as well!

Just wait until we see what the indo guys do with them

taufik-tmcblog · August 1st, 2012, 08:15 AM

the hugger

CZroe · August 1st, 2012, 08:18 AM

Wow. Those rear turn signals really stand out in the over-head view. Triple and bars look identical, which means forks probably didn't change. I bet that the L fender fits the J/K bikes. The front tire actually looks smaller though. What's up with that? Wider fairings making an optical illusion?

Is the swingarm the same? I ask because that hugger doesn't mesh well like the CBR and Byson and I'm sure one of the old huggers will look 1,000% better.

choneofakind · August 1st, 2012, 08:22 AM

More importantly, the existing huggers might also work and look sick.

Very interesting headers.

Kawasaki Green of course!

Jono · August 1st, 2012, 08:38 AM

LOVE IT!! This will kill the CBR250.

It is so nice having competition in the 250 class. We get to see the bike change every 5 years instead of every 20 years. lol

choneofakind · August 1st, 2012, 08:41 AM

I want one. Idk which is sexier, white or green. They're both gonna be knock outs with projectors in those headlights and a fender delete.

Like no joke, i want one.

CZroe · August 1st, 2012, 08:43 AM

Hmm... black calipers... exhaust heat shield conformed onto the pipe (doubles as an exhaust slider?)... and do I spy handle-holds under the passenger seat? Stealthed grab handles?

Can't say I'm a fan of deleting the side panels. The more of that wimpy frame that's covered, the better, especially if you end up removing the airbox (part is visible). Also, I like the ZX-inspired look of the J/K series a bit better except for the few deviations at the time (joined headlights, blocky swingarm, cylindrical side-mounted exhaust, ridiculous rear fender). Not that I don't like this. Thanks to the tail, it's far better styling than the 650R.

I wonder if the footrests are still interchangeable. The front sprocket cover bolt pattern looks different even though it didn't change since 1984. It looks like it's simply missing a bolt or two, so it may still bolt right on.

lookman_langgeng · August 1st, 2012, 08:44 AM

for next more detail spec, information,etc stay tuned at tmcblog.com
tomorrow will be tested for testride session for biker and media.
thanks..

choneofakind · August 1st, 2012, 08:47 AM

We'll have to see if it's even possible to delete the airbox, depending on what sensors and whatnot are in there. Its been a debate with the k model. I guess we'll get to find out soon

And more important, what it will cost...
