It's not really big news compared to the Honda line up, but there's a new 2fiddy and it doesn't look like it's from 1983.

no reports on engine specs, some hope/guess it'll be the zzr250 motor (34 hp) and no word on pricing, but it IS confirmed that this isn't a "Everywhere but the US" bike, and kawi dealers will be selling them soon.

 

looks like a major upgrade

 

its about time

 

Oh, sweet...might have to trade in my F2 for one

 

I'd ride that!

I wonder why they bothered with a back seat and passenger pegs.

 

Yeah if it only has that much, would you even want to carry a passenger
HOT

should have a sticker that your gf can only ride it if she's under 105 lbs.

Almost there!

 

It's better still be $2999

 

the tail looks like the zx6r

 

that looks sick

 

looks like the 650r

 

Wow, Kawi designers actually got off their asses and did something with the 250? Bout time. It was pretty sad that my old re-sprayed '88 ZX6 looked almost exactly like a '06 250. Looks great

 

The only problem I see with this is that it wont be as dirt cheap as before. Then again, they may keep the old one around to fill that dirt cheap niche, depending on how much the price increase will be.

 

Sign me up! That's my new track bike right there, gentlemen.

 

Looks pretty cool! I wonder if MSF will ever start using those.

 

Pretty cool little bike

 

holy crap, that's hot.
Maybe if honda brings the 125rr down it will encourage new riders to actually start small before the government makes it a requirement.

Totally never gonna happen. I can't think of a single lobbying group that would support such a legislation, nor would I. Well, maybe GasGas would, but that's probably it.

/soapbox.

*edit* They STILL aren't putting normal diameter tires on the darn thing?

 

Holy awesome looking! I might have to trade in my 03 for an 08.

 

Selling the 748.

 

Nice! I might replace my Elite with one of these bad boys.

Is it fuel injected?

 

New commuter bike...? Maybe.

Well what do you want? 180s? That engine can't handle a tire that large.

diameter or width? If you're just talking about width, they put the appropriate sized tires on that bike considering weight and power output. Just like my SV.
