what is Kawasaki talking about this time?

[martin_14]

I found this message on Kawa's European page. Does somebody have a hint what they're talking about? Hopefully a new C15 with an overbored version of the new ZX-14R, with turbo.

And cruise control.

Hmmm, mark your calendars.

Nice. And I am so liking the Ninja 300 on that web page

Looked like an advertisement for the new Z800 naked bike. Or am I being too obvious & simplistic and/or possibly missing something?

The vid definitely was for the 800... and there's a teaser link below it, as well.

Nothing listed for the Concours.

I think this is for the Z800. Which I like.

Say goodbye to the Z750...say hello to the Z800.

Big enough for some fun track days?

Like for the Ninja 300, I see that the policy of increasing the capacity of the engines is back! 
Marketing depts use this simple way to attract new Customers but in this way they don't make any technological progress: easy to say that the new version is more powerful when the engine is bigger! 
But a bigger engine is also heavier and the bike will require more gas, thus if a progress in made in fuel usage it's wasted immediately after! Bah!
Moreover people who are not that tall or strong will find harder handling a heavier bike.

Dude, the existing MPG fuelage of the 250, and the new 300, will hardly be measurable.

There's not even much difference between the 250 and existing 600 difference

Yep, but bikes get heavier...
Why??
Not all of us are like Steve Reeves!

Not all more powerful bikes are heavier.

That Ninja 300 is way more bike than the Ninja 250.  Don't know who is going to buy a CBR250 now.  The ZX10R is only 13 lbs heavier than the ZX6R.
