Kawasaki Announces Major 2013 Ninjette Remodel - Page 4

choneofakind · April 19th, 2012, 06:49 PM

Thanks D.

I was thinking along the same lines as Jiggles. It has to cost less somehow to use carbs, or else they would already be EFI

SafetyPaws · April 19th, 2012, 06:50 PM

you evil evil person. definately got me! that was wonderful. I was soo excited then instantly pissed that i just got mine then kept reading. touche my friend, touche.

Edit: i really liked the fuel injected for the same price, the EU/Jap models are about 6500 USD 2gs more for the fuel injected model, not to mention to even to try getting it over here the freight and taxes.

nickjpass · April 19th, 2012, 06:52 PM

I had to Google it...

Its more complicated than that. What they are actually looking at is whether they can sell MORE EFI bikes than carbed bikes. I don't believe that the Honda would be as popular if it had carbs. In fact, there are people on this forum that have ditched the Ninja and bought the Honda. I can't think of a good reason to downgrade other than having EFI.

Jiggles · April 19th, 2012, 07:55 PM

I want to get EFI so I can go slower!

Remind me what Kawasaki/any manufacturers prime target demographic is? Beginner riders? First time motorcycle buyers? And it's really not only beginner bikes... carb's are very old tech... and pretty well obsolete in a world of emissions regulations and people crazy about MPG and being green.

etiainen · April 19th, 2012, 08:51 PM

I like going slower.

Jiggles · April 19th, 2012, 08:52 PM

You should try a walker

etiainen · April 19th, 2012, 08:58 PM

I prefer crutches...I got mad fast on those after breaking my ankle and running around high school, you can use a wheelchair.

We'll be setting land speed records w/o carbs or EFI.

Jiggles · April 19th, 2012, 08:59 PM

I want crutches, but it would be much more difficult to get up with them

choneofakind · April 19th, 2012, 10:13 PM

Get a wheel chair instead. Those puppies haul butt!

Jiggles · April 19th, 2012, 10:15 PM

i haz 1

choneofakind · April 19th, 2012, 10:16 PM

Weedwacker engine + wheel chair = power chair that will hit 20 mph

Jiggles · April 19th, 2012, 10:18 PM

I want hand pedals

Dude, didn't your surgeon tighten all your nuts and bolts before he closed you back up? You've got metal in there. You should be out playing football by now. Hope your Ninja is getting better too.

Jiggles · April 20th, 2012, 08:49 AM

I have to get up using one leg, can be difficult from a low toilet.

Ninja is just rusting in the driveway

Its been almost 3 weeks. There is really no reason for you to still be on crutches or using a walker right now. Not with an implant. If you don't start walking regular pretty soon without being propped up, plan on having a stroke. You'll be the youngest guy in the nursing home.

BTW, did you ever figure out if the B!tch had insurance?

I told you to get one of these. It'll help ya out so much!!

sorry I couldn't get this image larger.

Racer x · April 20th, 2012, 12:32 PM

Jiggles I hope you feel better soon. You definitely need to get the blood flowing through your body.

Yea I can probably put my full weight on a barely healed bone. I mean, doc said I can't put weight on it for 6 weeks but you seem to know what you are talking about.

I do leg exercises every day and I try to stretch out the muscle as far as I can before I pass out from pain. I'm gaining a little mobility in my leg everyday. I got a good work out today walkering around and wheel chairing it up, I'm going to be pretty sore tomorrow

Jiggles · April 21st, 2012, 12:06 AM

Ok guys...

2011: New Ninja 1000

2012: New Ninja 650

2013: New Ninja 250, it only makes sense when you follow the breadcrumbs...

Titanium implants are soaked in acid prior to being implanted. So the surface is oxidized prior to being implanted. This is true unless his doctor was cutting corners and used an unetched implant. The difference in healing between 3 weeks and 6 weeks is negligible. This is all assuming that they didn't use a screwed or glued implant.

Nevertheless, Jiggles can do whatever he wants. I really don't care.

areifel · June 13th, 2012, 01:58 PM

Still waiting patiently to see what the 2013 model brings.....i'm gonna go with just new color schemes.

NickNYC · June 13th, 2012, 05:10 PM

I hope they stop carborating and add a little torque.

Kstorm21 · June 13th, 2012, 05:34 PM

I'm hoping for a digital gauge and maybe even a gear indicator...and new colors.

Jiggles · June 13th, 2012, 05:51 PM

i wna pink one

+1.

I wish someone had some insider knowledge to share with us.

dirty nasty · June 28th, 2012, 03:50 PM

I'd love to see EFI and still have it weigh around the same as a pre-gen. Although this might make it cost quite a bit more...

Countersteer · June 28th, 2012, 04:00 PM

Hellooooooo....

Is anyone home?

Sorry, that's all I can say.

Gna be 300cc didn't you hear?

NickNYC · July 30th, 2012, 09:09 PM

Wish it was a 400cc, automatic, and carbed...should I mentions a wider tire? ...I'd buy another one if it had carbs and an auto' today come to think about it. But have really bin missing my S.E. these past few months. Almost bought an '06 600 2 weeks ago...
