I know, it's so frustrating that 4th gear only goes 75mph

First post was made on 4/1/12. For all non-American readers, 4/1/12 is April Fools day, which means all threads created on this date are lies.

Just FYI.

choneofakind · July 31st, 2012, 09:16 AM

Hahaha yes, read up on the first page, Floyd got me good haha

Then it turned into an actual discussion about the future ninjette

... which will have rocket boosters and 1 extra cylinder which is purely dedicated to powering 250,000 HID lights which are positioned underneath the transparent fairings

What was that you said Mr Cager? SORRY YOU DIDN'T SEE ME!!!!

Jewtoys · July 31st, 2012, 10:29 AM

First time reading this thread

Some really good upgrades but I couldn't see going from one 250 to another...... I've had mine a little over a month and the straight line performance puts me to sleep....

Shawn, this was an April Fools prank, the rest is just Jiggles taunting the crowd.

I guess I should have mentioned its all a slightly cynical and humorous discussion

Ps akima, I got a picture of my mtb with my 'jette since I took a couple pictures to post in the pregen pics thread and I knew you liked my xc bike

. I'll post up those pics later.

wider tires so we'll have more aftermarket choices (150 rear/120 front), but Battlax radials will come stock
gearing will move to 15/45 to make it more highway capable and get a more useable 1st gear
LED lights and signals for added safety
Cosmetic mods will include ZX-14 and 650r styling cues. The blinkers will be flushmount and the rear fender will be redone.

Kawi says it will have 36hp out of the box with the new exhaust and FI. Pricing should stay the same at $4500. I can't wait.

All the best lies have a little truth in them. Floyd, looking at those 2013 250 photos, it looks like you 'guessed' pretty close.

He was.. It just that Kawi is being nice to make his joke real

gfloyd2002 · August 1st, 2012, 11:38 AM

You are all welcome. It seems Kawi picked up my suggestions for the new model. I look forward to my royalty checks.

Only 2 bullet points?

Alex · August 1st, 2012, 04:55 PM

I count 5 confirmed (OK, with 2 of those only partial confirmed when multiple things were in one bullet), with the rest still up for speculation?

I wrote what I would do if I were in charge of Kawasaki. Much better bike ready to crush the CBR before it takes too much market share. I didn't think they would actually DO it.
