New GPX model?

[twinkle]

They won't be hitting the nz market? I guess that might mean we get all the old ones with the shitty suspension offloaded onto the nz market then?

[fireball]

yeah still trying to find a release date any clues?

[HTFU]

We get the same old GPX 250 as US and Aussy so you would have to think we will get this model as well.

Will probably depend on where it is made. Thailand or Japan or Somewhere else in Asia.

If it ends up being $7000 I would be surprised and gutted ($6000 on old model). Would think it will be mostly in the $8000-8500 region based on the Hyosungs and costs of upgrades to the bike. Would come down after a few years production maybe. Of course our dollar will make a difference as well.

Upgrades look to have focused on the old models weak points - soft suspension and poor low end power so well done to Kawasaki on that one (not that I actually have a problem with either of the two common negatives discussed about the bike). Our market will just eat them up if they do make it out here and are within a few hundred of the hyosungs.
