2012 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 colors?

[daskraut]

Anybody have a link or some inside info on the US version 2012 Ninja 1000 colors?. I really want to get the canadian green bodywork for my Ninja 1K (Z1000SX up north) but due to the cost being 3X higher due to tariffs , I am gunshy, especially if the 2012 US version will be in green. Here is what they get down under for 2012, which is possibly different from up here like it was in 2011

nobody has an inside line on this??. I really don't want to have to wait a damn month to find out what colors we will be blessed with.........If I have to order my bucks-up canadian bodywork, I want to get the heavily taxed stuff on order now. If you know, just send a P.M. please!

The Kawasaki website only shows the 2011 model, no 2012s yet.

If I were you, I would get a black 2011. If black is not available in 2012, you will be stuck with a two tone paint scheme. The plastics on this bike has lots of edges and cut-outs and looks WAY better in one color. Black is even better because it hides the shapes.

This is just my opinion, of course. I don't really like the looks of the Ninja. If you dig the style of it, maybe the color isnt that big a deal. I agree about the green, though. Yuck, metallic pea, like the Wagon Queen Family Truckster... We get a reddish burgundy-ish one here that ain't pretty, but looks way better than the "truckster."

Oh, wait. You WANT the green one.

Well, I'll drop another 80's movie reference on ya.

"It looks good on you, though..."

Nah, no offense. Taste is a personal thing, I guess.

Green, it's a Kawasaki thing...

Ever heard of paint?

No offense, but I would not lay that kind of green out for plastic, even if it too were green.

Nothing beats O.E.M. paint
