I am going to try and not be jealous and sad of the fact that I just bought a 2010 model for quite a hefty price too.

csmith12, same! I think I'll be buying one of these instead of a Daytona 675 after college and mod the crap out of it.
Pause! Any bets on how long until there's a new turbo train wreck thread about the new bike?? Posted via Mobile Device |

The fake frame that runs along the tank does nothing to hide the exposed tubular frame leading up to the tail, so I hope someone makes some matching side panels to clip to that frame and cover that airbox.
If the tank is simply a more angular version of the current tank, I wonder if it will fit with the FI changes. I'm wondering why they bothered to change only HALF of the frame caps. |

I would've never thought I'd be so glad that I couldn't buy a 250 sooner hahaha
Let's just hope that the price isn't too heart-breakingly steep *crosses fingers* |

I bet it will be cheapest the first year out. That's how the 2008 bikes were. Get on it as soon as you can.

That's more than twice what I paid for mine. I suppose you get more out of a bike in Cali, here in Washington there are really only 2-3 nice months out of the year.

I think they made great improvements to this model and this will be a hot seller IF the price stays the same. Although, with all the enhancements, I just don't see that being the case.
If only they would put a 350-400cc engine in that thing, I'd bite. |

dumb. If someone at a dealer charged me just as much for their commission as the bike cost, I'd be out the door so fast I would set a new men's 50m world record.

Oh, and I just saw the frame there and on tmcblog. Those are some kind of integrated grab handles under the tail. One picture made the swingarm look thinner. Less "tall." |

tmcblog had a pic of what looked like factory sliders of some kind (didn't look like tank sliders). I don't see them on the assembled bikes though.
Edit: Saw it on the Kawi site too. http://www.kawasaki-cp.khi.co.jp/mcy...250LM_G_31.jpg If Indonesia does, then yes. |

Kawasaki launches new Ninja 250 in Indonesia
Kawasaki launches new Ninja 250 in Indonesia Small sport has been completely renovated and made antilock brakes. 249 cc engine will compete with rival Honda CBR 250R. Following the look of the ZX-10R sport, the Kawasaski presented on Wednesday (1) the new Ninja 250 (the brand took the "R" nomenclature), Indonesia. The product comes in, at first, for the Asian market and has undergone complete change and now has ABS brakes as an option. To compete with rival Honda CBR 250R, Kawasaki has employed major changes on the bike, which received a new chassis and the engine was revised. According to the manufacturer, the engine-twin of 249 cc. Power and torque were not disclosed. The engine has electronic fuel injection and liquid cooling, and according to the company, has been completely reworked, getting new pistons and cylinders of cast aluminum. Its chassis is of diamond-like, in which the engine is part of the structure and become more rigid, said company. The suspensions were also revised, with the adoption of new shock absorbers at the front. Complementing its new structure, the bike gain wider rear tire. To aumengtar rider comfort, the vibration of the bike was reduced and a new technology heat management resulted in greater comfort. As in CBR 250R, the ABS brake system is available as an option. To match the mechanical optimizations, the new Ninja 250 received a vision based on the "older sisters" of the family: ZX-10R and ZX-14R. While the headlight is similar to the ZX-10R, the side fairings with integrated flash remember the ZX-14R. In Brazil, the brand still sells the old version of the model. The G1 came in contact with Kawasaki Brazil for information about the possible arrival of the new country, but nobody answered the phone. http://g1.globo.com/carros/noticia/2...indonesia.html |

I don't see a Speedo cable. Will it be run off the engine and need a Speedo healer to feel with gearing changes?
