I agree completely. It makes the bike look cheap.

yeh i like the red/black too... the lime green is too plain...

nickadolph · August 19th, 2011, 06:14 AM

If they would do a paint/decal scheme like this they would'nt beable to keep them in stock.

AeroXtasy · August 19th, 2011, 06:16 AM

The color choices of the 250r is much nicer IMO.
I'm still getting the all black 2011 250r for my first bike over that 2012 250.

Did you notice the green had no front and rear reflectors? Interesting... I like the red/black as well.

I'm sure the green will still come with reflectors. IIRC, they're required equipment in some states so they'd have to ship the bike with them if that were the case.

20% less horsepower.

etiainen · August 19th, 2011, 07:15 AM

SIGH...2008 had the BEST colours hands down, I'm sorry, but I think simplicity wins sometimes...wish there was EFI though

Also I guess this candy green is different than the '08 lime green?

azimmer11 · August 19th, 2011, 07:19 AM

the vinyls are so dumb

nickjpass · August 19th, 2011, 07:21 AM

Aww I wanted to post the news

Mocha Man · August 19th, 2011, 07:22 AM

Dang, I was really hoping the yellow on the black was just some weird lighting thing. I held off getting a Ninja for [I]this?![I] Ah well, just not my cup of tea I guess. I'll definitely be getting the red or green version, though!

nickjpass · August 19th, 2011, 07:25 AM

I'm so happy they finally used a candy green! Where's my fuel injection!

nickadolph · August 19th, 2011, 07:25 AM

The green looks amazing.

Chubbs032 · August 19th, 2011, 07:36 AM

vinyl is cheap

PHL · August 19th, 2011, 07:36 AM

I wonder what real world prices will be, as opposed to the increased MSRP. How will Honda respond?

Looks like the same old bike, to me. Graphics and paint don't make it "new"...

I'm still waiting for the taller, larger displacement GPz 350.

Cuongism · August 19th, 2011, 07:54 AM

A member here already owns the 2012 candy green and you can see the choke lever in his pics. Website also says carbs for 2012.
