2009 SE with stickers

Snake · February 1st, 2010, 06:16 PM

I like the one with no white stickers. I think it catches the eye better.

2WheelGuy · February 1st, 2010, 06:17 PM

At first glance I like the look of the white stickers. The stickers make the bike stand out. However, the more I look at the bike the more I like the cleaner look of no stickers. I vote NO stickers.

CZroe · February 1st, 2010, 07:46 PM

I've just always liked the line that the white creates. *shrug* Without the white, I'd rather have straight Kawi-green.

ninja250 · February 1st, 2010, 07:49 PM

When I bought my SE they also had this green one there.. with a white bottom. Green is a lil too loud for me though.
(that's Irvine Lake in the background. I catch bass there. lol)

So KC, with or without stickers on the '09 SE? Oh and I much prefer the '09 green SE than the '10 green SE.

ninja250 · February 1st, 2010, 07:56 PM

Just throwing out ideas on the white. Might be able to do a simple graphic like that in vinyl.

If I had to chose stickers or not. Probably with stickers.
I don't know why.

I think mine might look better with no stickers but I'm too chicken to pull them off or put other stickers on.

Just gonna leave it.

littledog · February 1st, 2010, 08:21 PM

I have the 2009 SE too. I like it "as is", with the stickers.

HKr1 · February 2nd, 2010, 06:24 AM

Looks pretty cool without the white

M-Oorb · February 2nd, 2010, 06:29 AM

Much cleaner without the white. It kinda seems like Kawi didnt think about the design details too much and just threw on stickers between some of the creases

sharky nrk · February 2nd, 2010, 08:02 AM

I really like the '10 Green/graphics package

Momaru · February 2nd, 2010, 09:53 AM

I like the '09 without the vinyl.

I think most of the '10 graphics on the green make it look like another '80s tossoff design. No offense Neil, just not my cup 'o tea.

SlowCheetah · February 2nd, 2010, 10:54 AM

I took the white vinyl off of my '09 SE... looks much better to me.

Exactly what I was gonna say.

Banzai · February 13th, 2010, 01:22 PM

Why, O why does Kawi keep putting crappy stickers on otherwise perfect paint the more the model matures?

I voted NO WHITE stickers.

Keenan84 · February 13th, 2010, 03:40 PM

I have the 2009 SE and i vote FOR stickers. i think the bike looks incomplete without the stickers. unless you were to take it off and add some of your own decals.

BlueRaven · February 13th, 2010, 05:11 PM

I love the 2010 color scheme. I passed on the kawi green last year cause i didnt like the stickers.

i fell in love with the 2010 green se at the ny motorcycle show. the '09 green doesn't do anything for me, although removing the white triangles does clean it up.

i think the stickers on the red 2010 ninja takes away from the clean lines, the stickers should complement those lines. check it out (sorry about the resolution, i took it with my blackberry)...

Kawikaze · February 13th, 2010, 07:47 PM

I took my stickers off and never looked back. The stock ones were not very good to begin with and looked like they would curl up eventually. I replaced them with 3M black reflective, so it still looks clean, but reflects light at night for added visibility.

Keenan84 · February 13th, 2010, 08:44 PM

see i bought the 2009 se because i loved the layout (and price!) the 2010 se looks terrible. cant explain it but it just looks weak.

Betlog · February 14th, 2010, 06:25 PM

Interesting results so far... I expected one to be an overwhelming win.

kevsninja · February 16th, 2010, 09:42 PM

I took the white off of mine and I think it is a MAJOR improvement.

DarkNinja52 · February 18th, 2010, 01:14 PM

Straight kawi green ftw, or '10 models ftmfw

Keenan84 · February 18th, 2010, 01:18 PM

do you have any actual pictures of your bike with the stickers off? if i could see it, maybe it would grow on me. the little picture up top doesnt do it for me.

I will soon! Once I have all my parts bolted on the bike I'll take some pics.

Keenan84 · February 18th, 2010, 02:49 PM

please do, i would love to see how it looks. i may just end up doing it myself and putting on my own decals. problem is, once the stickers are off, there is no going back. haha

i am, but just the basic stuff right now. like getting rid of the fender, maybe a hugger, hid lights, stuff like that. basically whatever my wallet will allow. The hid is one i really want to do just for safety as well, just looks a little daunting.

If you can get away with not having license plate lights, you can do this http://www.kawiforums.com/ninja-250r...tra-parts.html

It looks really good and cost $0 if you have all the tools.

Momaru · February 18th, 2010, 11:31 PM

If you decide to go the severe DIY chop and still need LP lights, they make LED lights in license plate bolts. I'd show a pic of mine, but I kinda broke them the other day doing something I shouldn't have.

That's not the 2010 SE red... there's no black on the tail or upper (front) fairing, the red isn't as dark, and the graphics are all wrong (not just the shape).

jnumata · May 17th, 2010, 06:49 PM

Here's my bike if anyone is interested in seeing one without the white.

sofo · May 17th, 2010, 06:57 PM

Hmm... I have an '09 SE and never considered doing this until now. That looks pretty damn good IMO.

Any white even in the 2010 SE shows limited definintion... and it just looks as tho somethings missing in the color scheme. Prefer the str8 green/black 2009 offering.

Gfortunes · May 17th, 2010, 08:44 PM

2010 Black SE with Tribal sticker is super hot!!!

jamesio · August 29th, 2011, 12:27 PM

how do you remove the white off the se bikes?

choneofakind · August 29th, 2011, 12:49 PM

I like the white from the vinyls, but I think you should take off the white factory vinyls and get the race vinyl kit from kevins_garage in white. It looks different than factory and continues the white line through the tail instead of cutting it off at the bottom of the tank

hmm not sure if i like the white vinyl graphics up front by the headlight but i can see the tail section looking pretty good. i have the green se bike so i could just leave the white on the side fairing there and use the tail section. i would really love to just get some green fairings tho. i love the all green bikes

nobody is sellin tho haha
