What is the difference

loz944 · January 22nd, 2012, 05:33 PM

Has anyone out there got any pics of the original Kawasaki green and the new green for the special edition 250r i am trying to see what the difference is.

Kawasaki called me today and said my bike will be delayed until the first week of may due to long waiting list so i said do you have a standard edition 2012 and they said no it is a different green.

Bearing in mind this has been translated to me from Thai......

nickjpass · January 22nd, 2012, 10:06 PM

Standard is that regular bright green...the 2012 version is like the 2011 ZX-14R, a candy lime green. It's like metallic paint almost.

Kawasaki Green

Candy Lime Green

See the difference???

Malicious Logic · January 22nd, 2012, 10:39 PM

If you've seen one of the new Chevy Camaros, the new green on the 2012 ninja's is almost identical to that.

saxnbass · January 22nd, 2012, 10:42 PM

One looks good; the other, not so good.

loz944 · January 22nd, 2012, 11:41 PM

yep can see the difference I think its only the candy apple green available here and red .......longer waiting list for the Just will have to be patient I suppose

loz944 · January 23rd, 2012, 01:28 AM

kawasaki said the delay for us aussie's are due to the flooding and tsunami's in asia/oceania which have delayed production.

Believe it or not but in the states a large part of delays is the line of WalMart container ships heading in both directions at all times. My original down home honest country boy one man dealer told me the routes, waits, and bullshit he had to wait on to be able to show his wares. Or deliver my 05 250 and 06 650

I think here in Thailand the delay is they are manufacturing primarily for the export market the 250 is made here

the Thai model is slightly different ........Ie Thai warning stickers etc

massacremasses · January 23rd, 2012, 03:56 PM

hurry up and get 30 posts or whatever so next month you can sell stuff in the market place. I wanna see the stuff you can get there for us...

loz944 · January 23rd, 2012, 04:22 PM

thanks working on it have the posts but can't hurry time but keep an eye on the market place

massacremasses · January 23rd, 2012, 04:39 PM

lol yeah. I was like that too. I wanted to offer my powder coating services and had to wait... its all good though. Rules are just here to protect everyone. But yeah no one has had me powder coat anything (on here) anyways so I guess im not really missing out haha.

I have done a lot for other people though.

Yeah cause you can't sand blast anything noob. Noone is going to strip rims first then send them to you already prepped lol.

More on topic. That 2012 se is nice. I like that better than the candy we get.

nickjpass · January 23rd, 2012, 07:34 PM

He's not a noob.

I know for sure lol

matha028 · January 23rd, 2012, 08:19 PM

I thought the candy green on the 250 was a 2011 color. I'm really not impressed with the options for 2012. I haven't seen any solid color ones yet.

nickjpass · January 23rd, 2012, 08:22 PM

Candy is on the 2012 250. Solids are before 2012. There are metallic paints though (like blue).

KawiKid860 · January 24th, 2012, 12:03 AM

I really like the candy green, been thinkin bout doin it to my ex since after I crashed and it needs a little fairing repair. Still hard for me though cuz the silver/orange/black looks awesome... anyways. On ninjettes my favorite will always be 2008 red, then followed by candy plasma blue? and candy apple green as a tie for 2nd. Really like the black/white SE models although idk what years those are, and honestly cant go wrong with regular kawi green haha

Waiting is no problem as I am not running a bushiness I have a full time job and live in an amazing country ,The only time we don't ride is coz its too damn hot at times. so no down time for enjoying the rides we have some stunning scenery and some great mountains

I consider myself lucky and soon a nice shiny 250 to go play on lol

P.S. I think it looks frickin awesome. Wish they would have had that here in the US, I would've gotten that without second thought.

idk why anyone would want to send me rims... Im sure they could get that cheaper locally. Small stuff would be the most cost effective.

pretty much everything else is painted so I can blast any of that. Ive yet to do rims so Im not sure if I can or not, So I dont want to promise I can until I do my own and see how they come out. Waiting on the funds to get new tires before I do those though...

To have certain types of sand blasters you need permits because we are in city limits, the company doesn't want to pay for that since what we actually do comes to the factory ready to be lightly prepped and done most of the time...

I love the Ninja, its just that random black and white above the headlight and on the windscreen, and the fruity bluish/plum strips on the bodywork and the rims....wtf is up wit that?? Blue rim strips on a lime green bike?? Looks clownish to me, that is all...

ninja250r81 · January 25th, 2012, 12:55 AM

woah. what'chu got against purple on a green bike??

they're contrasting colors. Contrasting colors go well together because they each make the other stand out, without clashing.

I see no way how colors are homosexual. They're paint colors.

The ones i like no but maybe it may be worth having a chat with the guy

You can make anything purple by sitting on it long enough.

True story.

nickjpass · January 25th, 2012, 03:55 PM

You can take off the decals off by the way...
