New 2010 Ninja 250r

Only avaliable in Ebony & Metallic Island Blue. Strange they didn't release the green again. :?

Also note the different colour exhaust, it now has a flat black centre section.

Yeh I know, it sucks. If they were going to, I probably would've waited and bought a brand new one. They told me about the exhaust too, it does look better on the black bike but I wonder how it would look on a green one. No other changes but, everything else is exactly the same. Would've been nice to have a FI one released over here. Probably would make the bike about 11K RRP though.

If they keep this up with the colours, and only having the green in 09, it'll become a collectors item!

Still the nicest looking 250, I reckon.

Hmmmmmmmm guess we bought at the right time then, I love hulk junior, I do reckon though the black exhaust would look hot on him, he has a lot of black, actually more black than chrome so a black exhaust would look hot, but otherwise, no green :? in the new ones, not sure that is such a good selling point as the green is very symbolic of the kwakas.

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

They didn't sell green in 08 dizzi. Only black and red back then, and it was a different black from memory.

Yeh, only green in 2009.

Apparently there is a green in the 2010 model though. Spoke to someone today and he says they are releasing a green.

I just hope it's not that weird looking limited edition green with the black and white fairings.

Wow I love the black exhaust and think it would suit all colours, mostly because the exhaust is actually the only silver part on the bike anyway besides brake/clutch levers. Spewing the 09 didn't have it because then I would have one now!

the model year colours are as follows...

MY08: red and black
MY09: blue, green and black
MY10: black and blue

something in my head is telling me that the black was different from 08 to 09 but i could be making that up...

The black was different. 2009 was a metallic black, the 2008 and 2010 models aren't.

And Aitkens reckons they'll be getting green within 4 weeks when they get their shipment of 2010 models.

I've also heard from Kelens that there will be green with the 2010 models.

Based on the fact that I own a MY08 250 I can vouch for the fact that they released it in blue aswell :) I also thought they released it in green aswell.

edit: hmm spelling isn't my thing

it looks hot apart from that gay black thing hanging down where the number plate sits. It could be a dremel job unless it unscrews :)

they did release the MY09 in about august 2008... I'd be interested to see the vin number... I'd happily stand corrected as when I bought mine in April 08 I was given the choice of red or black
