Yes, the '07 is in many dealers now. It really doesn't look any different than the '06. Just a few cosmetic color updates.

Yeah so its mid october now and i got my 2006 250 about 5 months ago. Im 19 yrs old with no established credit, i got the bike on my own with no co-signer. I ended up getting my self in the kawasaki first-time buyers program and ended up paying about 5,000 dollars after financing (no joke). The only reason i id that is because kawasaki is the only dealer who offers that and it got me on the road. Its up to you and if you dont have a co signer you might as well bend over backwards. good luck

Good news! The guy dropped the price for a 2007 Kawasaki Ninja 250R. My exact words were:

"I'm not trying to be an *** or anything, I'll be blunt. I did some research online and asked some questions on a kawasaki forum...basically I'm not paying $4,500.00 for a bike that's MSRP at $2,999.00...so If you can't go any lower than at least $4,000.00 I'm gonna have to take my bussiness to the other nearest dealer." (I said it in the nicest voice possible)

...Magically the price went from $4,500.00 to $3,800.00 with a monthly payment of $79.00 a month other than the $135.00 a month. I think this is the best deal I'll probably get given that I live in San Francisco, CA. Now all I have to decide on is which color...haha thanks for all the help you guys rock. Later.

Good deal! $3,800 is what the previous owner of my '06 paid.
