The Great Kawasaki Colour Debate

..... · Quote Me Happy Joined: 15 Jan 2005 Karma :

Everyone knows that a Kawasaki, particularly Ninjas, should be green.

I've noticed a alarming number of heathens buying Kawasakis in all sorts of strange colours including blue, black and orange.

Now everyone knows green ones have 10% more power than any other colours, and only green ones gain you access to the 'club' Wink

Now I could, in time, possibly forgive someone for buying a black Kwak because they look quite good, but any other colour is sacrilegious.

What colour should you choose when buying a Kawasaki?

There is no debate, these are the following selections someone should have, if that colour is not there move down the list.

1) Green

That is all!

Although the black ones are nice, champagne isn't bad either. PS Suzuki's are better Smile

Green is indeed good for the classic good looks.

Blacks always good, 'cos it's black.

Any my insipiration for race bikes came from the US-only edition ZX10, so if I had the choice I reckon that's what I'd go for (and you don't see nearly as many orange ones in the UK).

Champagne is not included in the list because no-one actually buys that colour Laughing

Any colour but that foul green they use. It really is vile.

They don't have 10% more power. It just appears you are going faster on one as the surrounding traffic is busy slowing down to blow chunks in more safety.

Seriously thinking of buying a ZX12R late this year. The only colour I would definatly not buy is green.

All the best

I don't normally like lairy colours but the orange looks awesome on the right bike. Green will always look great but it's too common for my liking.

I'm not a fan of the Kwak green on my model of bike, it just seems too lurid. The bikes with green and black are nicer.
The new model ZX6 in black is very nice. Cool

Kwaks are designed from the outset to only look good in green you know...

I've had a green one and a red one.

Red ones more servicable, but greens faster.

My mates ZX10R is in the blue colour and it looks better than green.

Green is for bikers that have small penis's and need people to look at them on their fast sportsbike...*

*Yes, I'm joking, but green ones still look disgusting! Razz

Kwak green is a yucky, common colour IMHO. Wouldn't be my first choice. I'd want a discount if a shop couldn't supply a different colour so I could use the cash for a respray.

636 looks best in Black.

Kawasaki dirt bikes look good in green however!
