2009 Ninja 250R - What to Expect
What we Know:
All 2008 orders not shipped as of Aug. 05, 2008 (Today) are canceled
Colors: Black, Blue, Red (No more Kawi Green)
Price: $3999 USD
What we’re waiting to find out:
When they will be shipping.
My Thoughts:
I don’t think any of this is ground breaking news. It does suck that people who have deposits on 08’s @ $3499 might get bit for another $500 — That might even turn away a few prospective buyers — However, the used market is indeed picking up I’m seeing 250’s all over eBay and Craigslist. But — Unless we saw a YZF-250, CBR-250, GSX-250 or something similar hit the market, the price increase was pretty much inevitable. (And I have a hard time believing it’ll scare away enough buyers to hurt Kawasaki’s sales numbers)
I do think it’s pretty odd for them to drop green as a color. I would think that they would drop Red or Blue. However, since they did drop Green, it does leave the door open for a Kawi Green Special Edition… *shrug* Who knows.
Anyone have any updates on any physical changes? (No, there is not fuel injection on North American bikes. Please don’t ask…)
