    2008 Kawasaki 250cc Ninja

    No, the ZXR250 is NOT back ( ). But this does explain the price drop on the GPX250. I bet it's a reskinned GPX.

    Still doesn't look bad eh?

    The first pictures of Kawasaki's forthcoming 2008 Ninja 250 motorcycle are circulating on the internet - and we can reveal it's just one element of a whole new range of 250cc, four-stroke parallel twin motorcycles which Kawasaki is set to launch.

    As well as the sportsbike, there's set to be a naked Kawasaki ER250 and a Kawasaki Versys-style 250cc machine in the new line-up.

    Oooohhh, a naked version and a dual sporter, this is shaping up to be real interesting.

    Thats all good, but I wanna see how the ER650 styled naked and the Versys styled adventure bike look.

    If this is true then I think Kawasaki made a mistake considering the Hyosung GT250R is selling incredibly well while Kawasaki continues with the 20 year old GPX250 design. Love the new look though!

    Mind you, as Hyosungs are sold mainly to learners through Kawasaki dealers, it gives the dealers a chance to entice new buyers to a kwaka once they upgrade
