    New GPX model?

    There's been a lot of talk on what's meant to be the new model of the Ninja 250 (GPX 250).

    http://www.pashnit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13387

    If this is true, then hot damn, that is one damn sexy 250.

    it could quite possibly be as i dont see the exposed opposing direction frame (between the tank & fairings) that sports bikes have

    looks way too good for gpx though??? but cant be zzr, what about gpz ?

    could also be zxr for all we know, could be a 4 cylinder underneath them green bits

    EDIT scratch that, looking closer at first pick you can see the two header pipes coming down, and also with single front disk.

    i ruled that out straight away because it still has that skinny look, an il4 would be bulging out the sides

    for all u know it may be fake.. still looks a bit fishy to me, but if not it was way overdue for an update, i cant believe they would leave it the same for 20 years then not kill it for a new series (maybe this is what it is)

    They seem to be going to alot of trouble filming an add?? for a fake!
    If true I wonder if we'll have to look at this for another twenty years, personally I wouldn't mind it looks cool.

    no only 2, the gpx came out in 86 and had an update in 88 from then on hardly anything at all, colours and graphics, indicators, and clocks, no frame or shape changes

    It could be some 20th anniversary or something.
    Either way, I wouldn't mind if it was real, will give the shorter riders something sleek to ride and contend with hyosungs gtr hehe

    I like the style lol
    It almost has the look of ZX-6R

    But I doubt that the bike will come out with the name tag "GPX".


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    That'd give the GTR250 a run for it's money if it's for real. Looks like a Ninja should look. I'd have one in black any day

    looks a lot like the ER-6F

    http://www.bikez.com/pictures/kawasa...20Kawasaki.jpg

    Could just be an ER-6F with a different pipe on it, but having a big one out the side defeats the purpose of Kawasaki putting it under the engine to 'centralise the mass'.

    Would be a cool looking 250, the market needs something like that - it's been too long since the 'big four' really gave a shit about the 250 market.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    kinda similar.. but still too skinny... + er-6f still has that frame section between the tank and the fairing. as i said before the gpx tank and fairing meet flush, the fairing even screws into the tank.

    nah, this is either an unseen model or a chop of a zx6 seat, and front headlight and fairing, etc with a single aftermarket exhaust into a gpx which would also be quite cool but i wouldnt bother to do this myself tho id just wait and get a real zx6
