Default anyone look at 2007 on website

Missed my calling for the 2006 model and keep checking the kawasaki web site for the realese of the 2007. just saw it tonight and have to say the all white head lamp plastic looks absolutly awful[:'(]. I don't think anything specs have changed but would like someone to confirm this. Why didn't they change the side plastic and the fork protectors to black and leave the headlamp alone? Anyone know what the headlamp trim from the 2006 will cost?

I tend to agree, I don't think the white-only head lamp plastic looks as good as the green with the rest of the bike trim. I think you can pick up the 2006 plastic for around $70 from someplace like RonAyers.com - just plug in the Kawasaki part number in the part finder and it will look it up for you. Get the part number from the Kawasaki web site - owner info, parts diagrams.

Since I effectively have a KLX300 gas tank, I just ordered up a pair of KLX300 shrouds for a better fit. However, I like the overall look of the KLX250S shrouds - I'll have to put them on and see how I like them before I decide whether I'm going to leave them on or not.

I can confirm that the white head light shroud is a dud.

They are on my dealers showroom floor along side the 06 variant.

Cheers

Will do - I should mention that these are from Maier Manufacturing, http://www.maier-mfg.com . A pair of their shrouds are something like $20 less than a single Kawasaki shroud.

the tires look a little different on the 2007, the front tire looks different than my front tire. I wonder what they are?

Here's a few pics of the 07. I agree, it's not great but it wouldn't stop me from buying.

Isn't that the same guy that rode the bike last year? What a job huh? Getting paid to ride. I do like the jacket and helmet combination.
