2014s are out
New paint schemes for the SE model in Canada
The new SE schemes replaces last year's SE Green/Ebony and the Moondust Grey that was for the SE ABS. I'm not really feeling the 2014s SE colours though. Pearl Stardust White is now available in Canada and replaces the Passion Red; a step forward and a step backward here as both these colours look pretty sharp to me. |

Would actually pay them extra for a flat neon green paint job.
I like my sportbikes brightly colored.

Barely off topic - Kawasaki Canada's site looks really clean to me. Like.
Yeah, not feeling the choice they made on gas tank colors. More solids...less craziness. Seems like black is here to stay, everywhere. |

Looks like they up'd the prices another $600 on each model. Before long a 300 will cost as much as a 600. Might have to start looking into Honda

Yes they're real... real ugly.
I agree... the new schemes are painful. But don't hold your breath for any mechanical changes. The 2008-2012s were mechanically the same year to year. |

I don't like the dab of red on the second one. I'd rather have it just black and white.

Probly sorted the recalls on the 250's in the 80's or 90's... Not many mostly new things come out without hiccups.

I'll probably stick with a used 2013. So the MSRP for a 2014 is only $100 more? Are they offering the Gray in the US?

To whomever rated my post "bad" about the 2014 being $600 more, obviously didn't read all of the post in the thread where I said "crap, forgot those were Canadian prices" which at approx. $600 more than in the u.s... So....

Yes, there was a recall for 2009-2010 versions for a potential hole in the case, somewhere down near the gear selector. It was showing up as leaks on a number of bikes.
The database for all official recalls can be searched here: http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchVehicles

That database is fun to look through. I saw the 300 recall, and you can look at each of the individual complaints that were submitted. I am 99.6% sure we all know who submitted this one to the NHTSA:

No - that wasn't a recall, it's just one of the complaints that was submitted by someone to the NHTSA about their ninjette. There's a well-known poster here who is about as excited with high-quality tapered roller bearings as any individual can possibly be, and considers the stock stuff to be insufficient.
