2013 Kawasaki Ninja 250 R Photos
Although the official launch won't be until fall, Kawasaki Japan has unveiled photos of the re-designed 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 250R, the bike taking much styling from its older sibling, the Kawasaki ZX-10R.
Since its inception in 1983, the Kawasaki Ninja 250 R has been the leader in entry-level sportbikes. But when Honda released the CBR250R stateside in 2011, competition intensified in the quarter-liter segment, leaving Kawasaki under pressure to remain the dominate player.
One huge feature the Honda has over the Kawasaki is fuel injection, an item Kawasaki kept from the Ninja 250 R to keep the price below $4,500. But according to Kawasaki Japan, fuel injection will be offered, though its unknown if it will be available on stateside models.
Another big option on the 2013 250 R Ninja will be optional ABS, which will add four pounds to the base weight of 379 lbs. Otherwise, besides the more aggressive look, Kawasaki Japan confirms the Ninja will receive a new DOHC parallel-twin engine with upgraded pistons, crank case and cylinders.
The colors available in Japan are Lime Green, Lime Green/Ebony, Ebony, Ebony Metallic Moondust Grey, Passion Red, Passion Red Stardust White, and Pearl Stardust White.
As for MSRP, nothing was released, but the 2012 Kawasaki Ninja 250R costs $4,199-$4,499.

I would really consider this bike to replace the R1 if anything happens to her.....like hitting 100k miles! LOL
Really, I would love to see this in 400cc. If that happened, sorry to say, the R1 would go up on CL.
Oh yeah......I haven't made up my mind about the front turn signals."Beware of the lollipop of mediocrity. One lick and you'll suck forever!"Brian Willson

Yeah, they have t o make it FI. Europe has had FI for years. Why? Because it would increase the price by $200/300
Which would put it closer to 5K.“I always look for a woman who has a tattoo. I see a woman with a tattoo, and I’m thinking, OK, here’s a gal who’s capable of making a decision she’ll regret in the future.”
