Kawasaki Announces Major 2013 Ninjette Remodel
Kawasaki announced today that they will completely redo the ninjette for 2013. The change is meant to crush the CBR250 before it gets started. So I guess we'll need a new section of the forums - pre-gen, mid-gen and new-gen. Some highlights of what they are going to do:

It sounds like they really listened to their market. Those are most of the first mods that people around here do. Way to go Kawasaki!

Lot of those things were on the old ZZR. FI would be nice addition, take it or leave it ABS except for a noob rider. Really we actually need 5 categories for the 250 here to wade through the evolution.

He got me with it, I was like "DAMN, I JUST BOUGHT MINE!!!!!" Used my google fu and didn't find a thing.
And there's no way it would cost the same amount. Happy April's Fools Day! |

Floyd, I'm a little conflicted over this.
On one hand, really good job with the April Fools gag. On the other hand, I would never have picked you as an April Fools enthusiast. Now I'm having to have to recalibrate my understanding of how "the Floyd" rolls. |

WOW!! Good one man! You had me. I was like cool, Kawasaki must have been reading this site to improve the 250. BUT NOPE!!!! Haha.
I don't think Kawasaki will change the 250 until 2027 if they do as they did with the pregen. lol Keep waiting folks. |

What?!? Still no digital clock display, gauges and gear finder? Tsk, tsk Kawasaki. Most of all, huge fail by not including cup holders and a 7th gear .
Happy April fools! |

As I read that I went completely pale thinking of all the money soon to be down the drain on my soon to be completely obsolete racebike. How dare you play with my emotions like that! D:
