Looks like a nice ride

Were it not for the vulgar paint scheme and bizarre styling I'd want one.

I never warmed-up to the H2-inspired nose. The front of the 300 looks a lot better.

I think it's a great bike, but the overall styling looks chunky and clunky to me.

I don't like how they took a cheap shot at the 250's
250's are still fun.

Should be just a few more years until they bump the 400 to a 5 or 600 and then start over with a new 250!

Kawasaki lists the wet weight on the ABS model as 366 pounds.

Yeah! And what use is it to report weight with empty tank? What good is that for comparison? Who goes out and rides on an empty tank???

Nice catch! I didn't even notice that when I skimmed over the article. Either way, according to Kawasaki, their number is wrong.
