Kawi redesigns the 250

Me likes

 

those are pretty standard motorcycle rotors. They get a lot crazier looking that that.

its good to see they redesigned it but I for one kind of liked how kawi hadn't redesigned it in so long, it was the only legitimately 80's looking new bike you could still buy.

good times....now i really REALLY wont be able to sell mine...****ing kawi well it looks good anyways.

 

On a different note, the z1000 looks fantastic too, i think it will be my next.

 

Ill give you 1k for it.

 

Don't worry, follow Dream's link and check out the 500... still looks pretty 80's.

I am all about the new 250. I would never ride it, but for all those looking at the smaller setups, that bike looks roughly 1,000,000,000,000 times better than the old design. Good move Kawi

 

I think it might be in danger of looking too much like a scale model of a 600 sports bike (see aprilia rs50) and look a little toy like compared to the old one.

true about resale of the old ones going down a bit but its going to take a while for these to show up used and people weren't exactly traditionally buying these things for the looks anyways. Who knows maybe the price will go up and the older ones will retain their value a bit more.

also looks monoposto now, so harder for big/tall guys to sit on.

 

ha, no

 

about time....... :biggthumpup:

 

It only too about 20 years, but they did well

 

Fixed it for ya

 

Hey now, lets stay on topic! Simple spelling mistakes happen, thank god I didnt do it in the title. :laugh:

 

they claim 49 hp...thats quite a bit more then the old one! (33) and thats almost as much as the suzuiki GS500 (turd)

 

3rik, your funny. You make me lol. Thank you.

 

well there is no denying the GS500 is a turd, its an air cooled 500 that costs more then the EX 500 with less HP. HMMMMMmmmmmmMMmmmmm

 

49 hp is pretty good for a 250. mine is putting out about 30 hp with mods. But the ninja is a twin and mine is a single.

also noticed the price went up by $500

also worth noting/funny, the tiny woman in the pictures to throw off the sense of scale.

 

hahahahah yea it only took like 30 years. I had a 250 ninja once, that thing was fun to wheelie hahaha.

I love the new design, it looks like a baby ZX-6R

 

wow, the new 250 looks great! I just sold my 96 and this one look gazilinon times better. to to start saving for next summer!
