For you guys like white

kashun84 · July 9th, 2010, 07:45 AM

Just saw this on the japanese offical website.

I duno if they are going to bring it to the state. What do you think?

drowe531 · July 9th, 2010, 07:50 AM

Thats a pretty sweet color scheme if that is the next SE.

Also I just wanted to use that smiley

want1sobad · July 9th, 2010, 07:53 AM

this is sick! if kawasaki north america doesn't do this they're idiots (look how many people have switched to white on this forum and many others).

NICE!!

drowe531 · July 9th, 2010, 07:54 AM

Personally I think they should make your White Phoenix the SE. Lets start a petition

i think i should be on the design team

mfers stole my graphics theme too!

addy126 · July 9th, 2010, 08:04 AM

Now that color introduction I do like alot!!! I'd buy it in a flash... however converting the 553,000 yen to US dollars works out to about hmmmm
553,000.00 JPY = 6,249.18 USD (F.I. and new paint gulp kinda expensive)

drop a g for no FI

izmail1215 · July 9th, 2010, 08:14 AM

I want one!!!!!!!!

bob706 · July 9th, 2010, 08:16 AM

Not a fan of that paint scheme. Looks like a Suzuki 500

capt_bugaloo · July 9th, 2010, 08:25 AM

Meh.

I have seen some 250s in plain white and that looks great, but I am not a fan of those "racer boy" applica graphics. Plain white please.

Talonne · July 9th, 2010, 08:28 AM

I agree, plain white would look better.

Should be that way with the decals removed. Some say it's simple while they are fresh off the show-room floor. May have to paint the tail though. Hard to tell in the pic.

GeneJunkie · July 9th, 2010, 11:21 AM

It has a kinda retro feel to it, I don't know if I like it. I like the new blue tho.

Apex · July 9th, 2010, 11:25 AM

I like the white, but the graphics need to go.

Xoulrath · July 9th, 2010, 11:25 AM

Yeah, I'm not liking that color/graphics combo. I'm not even sure white with no graphics would be all that appealing to me. I like white enough on some bikes, but I don't think the 250 has enough "flair" in its design to carry white. My opinion of course. For what it's worth, I LOVE the Ducati 848 in white.

Apex · July 9th, 2010, 11:26 AM

Agreed, the 848 is drop dead sexy in white.

randomwalk101 · July 9th, 2010, 01:00 PM

Mine is almost there..white front/black rear with red rim tape...just need some graphics in the middle

ally99 · July 9th, 2010, 01:01 PM

That's a HOT bike! :-)

want1sobad · July 9th, 2010, 01:13 PM

get that black fender back on there damnit!!! j/k

GeorgiaHooligan · July 9th, 2010, 01:15 PM

Ive always loved kawasaki green, since i was knee high..........

GeorgiaHooligan · July 9th, 2010, 01:16 PM

White on the new cbr's look sweet though.

U5er · July 9th, 2010, 01:19 PM

Digging the new scheme. I would only remove the large front decal and keep the stickers coming from the tank and side covers. Randomwalks has a sweet ride though.

Cab305 · July 9th, 2010, 01:29 PM

Nice, will look about 100 times better with all that vinyl peeled off.

Hadyn · July 10th, 2010, 07:01 AM

Chrome translated this for me:

Quote:

Change from model year 2010 ■
No change of color
- Change the instrument panel
* Price Change
※ dimensions change and there is no performance.
※ The price motorcycle recycling costs are included.
※ This recycling model motorcycles (R) is marked for vehicles.
※ This model overseas factory Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Kawasaki Motors Enterprise (Thailand) Co., Ltd (KMT) is for vehicles produced in Japan.

I wonder what they did to the instrument panel.

kashun84 · July 10th, 2010, 07:09 AM

They change to 3 white face gauges. Much better than the black one.

I don't like the vinyl as well

BlueRaven · July 11th, 2010, 01:34 PM

Sadly if a pearl white 250 ever makes it way to north america, us canadians will have to wait a year to get in canada

in 2008 you guys got a blue one, in 2010 you have the tribal red and ebony SE

Anteraan · July 12th, 2010, 11:28 AM

I love the white versions I've seen, but I find those graphics downright UGLY. They make the bike look about as dated as the 500.

But I LOVE the gauges

dimeified · July 15th, 2010, 06:23 AM

it looks like they stole the color scheme from the beast bike

mrlmd · July 15th, 2010, 07:40 AM

Ditch the red rim tape.

randomwalk101 · July 15th, 2010, 10:22 PM

This is a 2011 model above with the mid vinyl stickers removed...hehehe

s2kenny · August 1st, 2010, 05:54 PM

What kind of seat cover is that?
I'm assuming it's a seat cover

bdavison · August 1st, 2010, 05:57 PM

Id rather see them come out with a copper metal flake one....

afbond03 · August 4th, 2010, 06:54 AM

I love white and black combo. My Jeep is white and black even. I am waiting to see if we get this or not. Graphics def. have to go though.

ninja man · August 4th, 2010, 09:33 AM

very nice in white hope it comes to the uk

Mac · August 4th, 2010, 09:42 PM

agree with the majority here, straight white would look a whole lot better.
