2012 Kawasaki Ninja 250R Specifications and Prices

I have to tell you that for 2012 edition, Kawasaki ninja 250r comes with no "R" label, so it's namely just "2012 Kawasaki Ninja 250". I have written about this change on my older post here (2012 ninja 250 without R) and here (new 2012 ninja 250r USA). Kawasaki motorcycles seemly did not make a lot of changes to 2012 Ninja 250r, they only updated the color scheme for black and red/orange, but the lime green still the same as previous version. 2012 Kawasaki ninja 250 prices it's around $4,199 for standard edition and around $4,449 for special edition of Ninja 250. Here is the 2012 Kawasaki 250 specs
