Good find! Looks like the rumors will be confirmed or squashed in about 2 weeks.

/moved to local events

cerberusrex25 · August 28th, 2012, 04:45 AM

What is the use, we get boned again and get a carburated bike. Why can't we get FI and ABS in America? Hope they at least decide to make them optional for the US market.

nycsteve · August 28th, 2012, 07:11 AM

I think I'm going to be sick that day lol

Brooklyn · August 28th, 2012, 08:00 AM

lol

Panda · August 28th, 2012, 08:49 AM

Steve let me know if you are sick that day. I might be sick that day as well.

They kind of have to, I read somewhere that the CBR250R stole a good % of the 250r sales. I'm glad Honda joined the 250 market, competition is always good for consumers.

nycsteve · August 28th, 2012, 11:00 AM

@Brooklyn @rPanda I think we should all get together and get sick that day.

dirty nasty · August 28th, 2012, 11:02 AM

Oooooh! But Thursday is pay day for me.

I should just get direct deposit. That way the money I'll spend that day will be in my account at 12 A.M. and I'll probably be sick by 5:30 A.M. when I'm supposed to be getting up for work.

even if its only 5%, that probably translates into millions of dollars in sales.

i imagine once motorcycle commuting is more mainstream, you'll see more of these convenience features.

I hope you're right, even if it is as an option. I like carbs and all but I would like to just turn on my 250 on a cold day without the headache.

yea, i had trouble too.
i could not ride off with the choke without stalling.

ended up warming it up for 5min then riding...

sucked when i wanted to ride somewhere for lunch.

EsrTek · August 28th, 2012, 04:52 PM

Good find!! If my work schedule actually doesn't change, I will be in Brooklyn, then Bronx on the 10th to 14th.

Avenged7Fold · August 28th, 2012, 05:06 PM

So are they giving a release date for the 2013 250?

If pulling the choke gives you a headache then

bdavison · August 28th, 2012, 05:09 PM

It would be worth going just to see the Jason Britton exhibition. You know he's gonna go balls out for a US Kawasaki debut event.

dirty nasty · August 29th, 2012, 07:03 PM

I'm going with a friend. Where do I park my bike? We planned on spending the day in the city.

Hahaha the headache comes when you're trying to tune it

It's nice when you get it set up right, but it's a pain

wvninjamom · August 31st, 2012, 08:56 AM

FYI - The big reveal of 2013 Kawasaki Ninja® sportbikes is scheduled for 9/13 at Times Square in New York. More details as they are available.

Dammit. I will be in NYC the 7th,8th,9th, and 16th.....lol. Going on a cruise the days in between the 9th and 16th.

areifel · August 31st, 2012, 10:11 AM

Does Kawasaki usually hold a big event in Times Square pertaining to the 250?

Really curious if our (250) bike will be significantly different from overseas.

This is about the whole new Ninja line. Among other bikes the new zx-6(36)r will also be officially announced.

Come through!

FYI: i might not even take my bike that day. Most, if not all, parking garages will not accept 2 wheels. If I do, I will just park the bike a few blocks away and take my tags with me.

Don't forget, the 14R is still fresh off a redesign as well. This is a big year for Kawasaki.

Y do u need to take your tags ? Plates ? People steal them ?

EsrTek · September 5th, 2012, 03:04 PM

Oh yea... in NY they will steal them to use on stolen bikes.
In NYC I would take all my gear, double disc lock both wheels, take my plates and maybe even the battery. Still doesn't mean your fairings will be on the bike when you get back

lgk · September 5th, 2012, 03:19 PM

well that sucks.

been jumped before in NYC but never had stuff stolen like that.

So it's not quite this ridiculous. People also take their tags so they can park illegally and not get tickets.
