2015 ninja 300 se

joecool · September 20th, 2014, 09:16 PM

Anyone know if the 2015 ninja 300 special edition in green will be the same colour scheme as the 2014? The 2013 model green scheme was so much nicer, what's up with the red wheel stripes on the 2014 lol!

ninja250r81 · September 21st, 2014, 01:23 AM

i like aussie 2012 se like mine

tfkrocks · September 21st, 2014, 01:33 AM

All the 2015 colors are on the kawi site already. The SE color for 2015 is black with some decent basic graphics. If you want green, it's just a basic all-green color scheme.

joecool · September 21st, 2014, 07:44 AM

I saw the website thanks, i guess the 2014 is a nicer paint scheme than the 2015 reg. plain green. I like the carbon fiber effects on the 2013, oh well

tfkrocks · September 21st, 2014, 10:58 AM

That isn't green though. There is no SE green for 2015

choneofakind · September 21st, 2014, 11:19 AM

DID THEY FINALLY GET RID OF THE NASTY IRC TIRES?!?!?!?!?!?!??!

And we finally get the all green non-SE paint scheme. Score.

Indeed, that seems to be the case

Yes good, now maybe someone will drop their green 300 and I can buy their fairings for cheap so I don't have to paint again

With your luck, it will be a third separate shade of green. You'll have the most visually agonizing paint job that's all kawi green in the history of the ninjette.

I like the plain green, I've contemplated on removing the stickers on mine. But eh, i'll leave em for now.

LittleRedNinjette · September 22nd, 2014, 02:49 AM

I was hoping they would do the 30th anniversary scheme like on the ZX6R and ZX10R. But that looks good!

Oh, lol. I was considering Plasti-dip too. Would be a fun project, but I'm not into really tearing apart my new bike at this moment.. lol

LittleRedNinjette · September 22nd, 2014, 05:00 AM

Plasti dip is fun to experiment with. I don't know how well it would hold up on the tank but its easy enough to redo if needed.

mania · September 22nd, 2014, 05:24 AM

Here in Thailand we have a 30th Anniversary color too
Maybe you folks will also?

mania · September 22nd, 2014, 05:30 AM

Besides the 30th anniversary model we also have red/black or gray/yellow

The red/black in person is very nice/striking

LittleRedNinjette · September 22nd, 2014, 05:40 AM

^^ i love the red!! Want!

indomie · September 22nd, 2014, 06:09 AM

Yes the red looks good!!!!!!!

Bubba · September 22nd, 2014, 10:33 AM

I'm guessing the 2015 SE colors will be like the 2015 ZX10 and ZX6 SE colors: green white black ( as that thai pic) .

I avoid black bikes, the appeal of the newer Kawasaki green is high visibility. This fashion of black bike, leathers and helmet is a bit crazy on public roads, it acts like pavement camo.

xorbe · September 22nd, 2014, 10:37 AM

The red, blue, yellow, grey/white, green se, are all missing from USA presently.

I'm gonna say that the tire you posted likely isn't the on on the new ninjette.

Look at the link you posted, none of those sizes match the spec of ninjette's tires. Those tires are intended for classic bikes who want modern tires.

I have nothing against individual brands, I just know that the model of Dunlops that came on the pregen sucked.

You can get those tyres for 110F and 140R

Just not listed on the website

Seriously, that red and black ninjette is one of the nicest color schemes/designs i've ever seen on a bike.

LittleRedNinjette · September 23rd, 2014, 02:23 PM

Yup, my 250 was the 2012 black and red se. If the had offered a red 300 I would have gone for that.

snot · September 23rd, 2014, 04:43 PM

I want a blue 300, with black accents like the 250 thunder blue. I actually like my IRC's for everyday highway riding, I do like pirelli's more.

All green is nice, but the anniversary colors would be sweeter!!!

3 years in a row, compared to rest of world 300 livery. One can only conclude they don't like to sell economical bikes here.

The nice thing here where they are built is parts are not too pricey too.
I once priced new side fairings & they were like $180 total for the two sides

With that in mind I could easily buy these new black/red ones & slap them on my 2013 red/white one

We should all ride like we're on pavement camo, regardless of bike color.

Are they? I don't see any SE ABS models, which tells me that there is something yet to come.

First year, ABS was SE-only
Second year, ABS was SE and non-SE
Third year they have only showed us non-SE ABS

Booo! Hisss! I've hated that we couldn't get proper green since it launched here while the UK and Australia have been flaunting it all over these forums! This is what it takes to get me interested in financing a new bike: The color I want is finally on the model I want (green non-SE ABS).

broken neck · October 16th, 2014, 07:17 PM

We will have a candy plasma blue/ebony as one of our 300 SE models up here in Canada for 2015, the other one is metallic moondust gray...
http://www.kawasaki.ca/product/ninja-300-abs-se

And the pearl stardust white with the "green ninja" for the non se model...

CPB RETURNS! Love it, but I think it looks better on the J/K-style bikes. Non-SE green or Monster styling (black with green rims, seat, logos) look better on the 300-style bikes.

I wish I lived on your street... You can barely buy a panel here for that

And if only shipping weren't so expensive :/
