Cool, congrats then. That is the same order of events I went through. The guy at the dealership was trying to build suspense and say I was a finalist but later told me when I was going through ttl paperwork that there is only 1 potential winner per dealership that they send the paperwork to. If they are telling you to be there tomorrow it is because all of your background check went through ok. Post pics after (not if) you get it tomorrow.

Each dealer has a choice to give out a Bayou 250 or Ninja 250. The national grand prize is a Vaquero cruiser (giving out 4). When you signed up on the internet they sent out a postcard to take to the dealership and you win an energy drink, music, percentage off of Kawi accessories, etc or a Vaquero. After you got your ticket scanned at the dealer the dealership gave out a dealer code to take back home and enter back into Kawi's website with your original postcard's code to enter for the dealership drawing. The dealership drawing only has one prize, the 250.

Thanks for the info nightmare, its good to know you went through the same process I did.
The owner of the dealership said chances are I was the person who won but would not verify it. I was able to check it out today and the green looks good. I will post pics when I get it to the house tomorrow. |

Congrats. Good looking bike! I'm glad to see some other winners on here. I have been a Suzuki fan in the past but Kawi definitely has my loyalty now.

No FI, still running carbs. Comparing spec sheets between years nothing mechanically has changed.
Colors and graphics are the only noted difference. |

I won a green 2012 Ninja 250 at The Hopkins Hitching Post in Minnesota. Thank You Kawasaki. I drove my new Ninja home today and already have 100 miles on it. My kids are already fighting over my 2009 blue ninja 250.

It gives us more to talk about on this website?
When I heard about the contest I went to Kawasaki.com and they sent me a free entry. When I went to the dealer to submit the entry they had more entries on the counter. So I entered at all the dealers I could get to. Every dealership gave away a Ninja or a Bayou. You just had to enter to have a chance to win one. The odds were awfully good on this contest. Did I mention how much I love Kawasaki. My first brand new motorcycle was a 1976 Kawasaki KH250 triple two stroker. It would go over a 100 MPH too.

Hi All... another Winner here... won mine from Mt. Holly Kawasaki in NJ... Same green, but mine doesn't come home until tomorrow. Went through the same craziness with the phone calls and paperwork. Telling me I was a finalist even though I knew I was a winner after having filled out the W9 and everything. Crazy. Then asking me to show up for the open house and announcing of the winner (me). Anyhoo it's beautiful and I love it. now to sell my 2006 250 R. Congrats to everyone else who won (820 winners nationwide of either the Ninja or the ATV).

I know how you feel. Im poor too and I won but this is the first thing I have ever won. You cant win if you dont sign up and 99% of these sweepstakes are free. There are people out there now who have taken sweepstaking to the next level. TLC even made a show of it. Makes me wanna try it. The more you enter the better chance you have of eventually winning something. Good Luck to you!

I didn't realize this was a thread for winners of the dealer giveaway?
I also won, but the delaer seems to be giving me a 2011 green and black SE. I also got a packet from Fed-Ex and filled it out. My dealer Free State Cycle in MD gave me the run around as well, I didn't find out until they announced the winners on Kawasaki.com. I went today and talked to the dealer and he said I did win it. |

I would double check with Kawasaki what year you are supposed to get. Everyone else seems to be getting 2012's

Sorry to hear they are giving you the run around but congrats on the win. The rules dont specify what year they are giving out , just that its brand new. My dealer offered me the choice of a white/red 2011 se and the green 2012. Hopefully you can get it squared away and get what you are wanting but congrats again on the win!

Note to anyone trying to change the gauge color on the new white faced gauges, doesn't work out too well. I had some green 5 smd leds laying around so I slapped one in to see how it looks. The color looks cool but the numbers faded out so bad they almost disappeared. The pic doesn't do it justice but it really wasn't as bright as the stock bulb was. Decided no stick with stock bulbs for now.
At least I didn't totally waste my time taking the front 3 fairings off, got a set of 5000k H7 hids in yesterday. I found a set of slim line Xentec hids on ebay for around $40 obo. I offered them $30 shipped and they took it. I have a set of slim line Xentecs on my Jeep Commander and haven't had any problems with them so I decided to go with the same brand for the 2 fiddy. They look blueish in the pics but are actually very white and very bright. I also did a little diy fender chopping as a temporary until I decide on a fender eliminator.
