The Japanese have some seriously abnormal websites as far as what I would expect from a motorcycle dealer.

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

Engine seems to be in cg territory, both for performance and fuel economy. Be nicer than a CG as a first bike, but suspect the price will reflect this.

'Ideal for novice riders and those new to Kawasaki' they claim... so Mr GSXR rider who has a K9 GSXR1000 should get one because he's never owned a Kawasaki .

I think that there is quite big culture difference between east and west parts of the the world. The design would be an effect of this reality.

The UK site is much nicer to look at. That KMX250 is nice. Off road style Kwaks looks better in green than the road bikes do imo.

[G]

I presume you mean KLX250?
I got all excited, as a KMX would have been a 2 stroke, but instead we get a heavy and slow 4 stroke.
Claimed figures tend to be more accurate these days, but it's listed at something like 20kg more than the old LKX250, which was supposed to be an ok bike.

[Flip]

Sorry dude, yeah I meant KLX and I forgot all about the 2 stroke ban.

Doesn't seem as attractive now.

Aesthetically pleasing though. All though the mud guard looks like it's bent.

Today I went to year end party of kwak shop at hotel, and there was D tracker 125 which isn't sold yet.

This pic was taken before she said "Pls don't take photo cause this isn't sold yet"
It has 14 inch wheels. It's really compact, but not so small like KSR110. I felt it has good size for beginner. Seat isn't high.
Engine spec is only 10ps and not special at all. Front brake disk was petal one and it looked big because front wheel is only 14 inch. And front suspension is reversed one.
There was kawasaki motors person there too, so I asked some questions.
"Is this made in thailand kawasaki?"
"Yes, it's made in kawasaki heavy industry Thailand Fab"
"Is ER-6 also made in Thailand?"
"Yes but not all of ER-6 I remember, maybe f or n ... hmm"
"Recently I read kawasaki will shift production to Thailand, and it will make larger models than 650 from now, what model will they actually make over 650?"
"At present, Thailand Fab is doing practice level. It's too early to make 4 cylinder models yet"
"Do you think there is difference in quality between akashi and Thailand?"
"Akashi peoples go to Thailand Fab and educate them, so it isn't that there is problem in Thailand. But for example, Japanese users request higher quality than users in Thailand. That leads to the difference."
(I wanted to say regarding ER-6 users, they are not mainly in Thailand, but in Europe I stopped saying that)
"What is difficult in making 4cylinder models?"
"It is required good mixture balance of low emission, high power, and cost."
Articles says Thailand fab will make larger models than 650 soon, but he was saying some few years period for practice(by making 650cc) is necessary for Thailand fab before it start larger models.
So I can say ER-6 and Versys are being made for Thailand fab training.
