When do they usually come out for next year model?

I called a bunch of dealers and apparently it's going to be late Nov or early Oct for the 2009 Ninja 250R to arrive. As far as I know, it's going to be the exact same bike, with possibly new colors.

When so many people are still going crazy over the way it looks now I doubt the 09 will see ANY changes.

When market sells drop a bit I think new colors will show up.
Or same colors with tribal flames all over it *lame*

Usually the manufacturers make changes to a model every two years.
The 09 models come out in September or October.

The Ninja is an exception though. Kawasaki did so well with the bike since 88, they only need to update the styling 20 years later to keep it current. I don't think they need to update much for another 20 years and the bike will still do very well. Plus, they can also maintain the same price and profit more as the production cost goes down. :scooter

nipples....

Why did the '08's come out in Jan/Feb?

They need to paint them white from the factory. That would boost sales for sure.

They don't need to boost sales they need to boost production

Oh heck yeah!

They don't need to boost sales they need to boost production
Yeah! ... nipples!

They don't need to boost sales they need to boost production

More colors - more produced.

More colors - more produced.

and more nipples:boobies
