White Ninjas

hybridxx · March 5th, 2009, 02:27 PM

im gonna be trying to buy a ninja 250 pretty soon and as i have been looking around, ive found a couple people with white ninjas and lemme say this to all you white ninja owners...ur bikes look awesome.

why do u guys think Kawasaki doesnt just make em in white to begin with..they would sell pretty good imo. ANybody with white ninjas wanna share some pics? oh and how hard is it to keep them clean?

Beast · March 5th, 2009, 02:44 PM

Oiyee, here we go

First of all thanks. I am a white ninja owner (pearl white to be exact). I'm glad they don't make bikes white stock...why? Then it wouldn't be special! Haha.

Keeping them clean is easy. I don't notice it getting any dirtier than the stock black, then again, I do maintain it by giving it a wash down every other week. Honestly, dirt shouldn't be a factor in your decision to change the color

Pics of the white:

Old pic, doesn't look like this anymore haha.

hybridxx · March 5th, 2009, 03:00 PM

very very nice. U know what, im not even gonna try to lie here. I have to admit that whenever i see your bike Beast, i find myself staring at it for a rly long time lol...that is one sexy bike.

and ur absolutely right lol. something tells me that if Kawasaki made em white they wouldnt look as cool lol.

j/k. White does look pretty darn awesome. Although, it has to a real nice white, like what Beast has or that Pearl thats on the Lexus IS.

OldGuy · March 5th, 2009, 06:47 PM

See that's why the '09 Special Edition is so good, you got some green, some black, and some white. Sorry about the red and blue though.

Chris, your pearl white Ninja is simply... wow.

jameZ · March 5th, 2009, 09:04 PM

how much did you pay for that paint job?

TonyKZ1 · March 6th, 2009, 07:11 AM

And then for the classic white Ninjas...

BlueTyke · March 6th, 2009, 07:29 AM

Anthony... Your windscreen... Abouts how much does it life the air away from you? ON the stock windscreen the wind hits me in the chest or helmet (I am not exactally small) and your windscreen looks quiet nice...

She's not ALL white anymore guys

This is an old pic, minus some aftermarket parts added since then hehe. Glad you liked her when she was pure

About $700. That included the labor for the shop to strip every part off my bike and then reinstall it. The pearl white is the "Pikes Peak" color of the Nissan 350z.

I went to our dealership road and checked out all the pearl whites of various makes and manufacturers and the 350z easily stood out as the best in terms of the pearl not creating a milky/satin effect in the sun like the Lexus IS or the Cadillac Escalade. The pearl white is still very much white

hybridxx · March 6th, 2009, 11:05 AM

u should put up some new pics of ur bike =D. oh, and a question. the black part on the bike, thats not the stock black right? it looks a lot more like a flat black..

You are correct. Flat black with a flat clear coat to try and match the plastic side panels.

I'm 5'11" and 250lbs, It helped move some of the air away from my chest but since then the windshield was damaged (bike fell over while on my front porch and the windscreen hit a support post and broke

) so I bought a bigger sport touring windshield from Mike (gti20vturbo over on the ninja250 riders club site). It's quite a bit better for wind protection, although I liked the looks of the ZG's double bubble screen more.

Since then, he's made a new euro sport shield that looks much better and keeps the wind off of you even more. Here's the link to his windscreens.

then it should be "haole".

islanderman7 · March 7th, 2009, 07:53 AM

Chris, are those aftermarket wheels? Or are they stock with gold powder coating? How much did it cost to get those wheels?

Here's the answer I give everyone about changing the wheel color

I asked my cycle shop if they did powder coating and they do, only they outsource to a local powder coater. FYI, if you do plan to change the color of your wheels know that you'll have to:

A) Get new seals and bearings because the powder coating can't happen unless the wheel is nothing but bare metal. The motorcycle shop should advise you on this...they'll usually order what you need to replace them. It's about $65-75 dollars if I can remember for the parts

B)LABOR = Pay the shop to strip the paint on your wheels (that is not free or easy), Remove your old bearings and seals, and install new ones, Remove and reinstall your tires, and install your wheels again. About $175

C) The paint itself. First you need to bring reference material in so they know what type of "gold" or whatever you're looking for. (i.e. All reds aren't the same, if you get red and you wanted cherry instead of brick, you're screwed). Basically, the more info you give the shop, the less of a chance they have to screw it up.

D) Cost to paint/coat the wheels (about $300 for both)...but your results may vary.

For sheezy, rceezy

Nothing is wrong with a touch of bling that doesn't have to be explained haha. I was inspired by the JDM look of import cars.

that was just a quick snap, it'd probably be porn if I shot it with true intent and good lighting

Snake · March 28th, 2009, 12:52 PM

I did not think that white would be a good color for a bike until I seen all the cool pics. You have a convert here.
