When I was 19 a friend working as car painter, painted a Chevy Blazer K5 in Pearl White. Had a crush on Pearl White since, crazy enough to respray my perfectly looking silver grey Lancia HPE in Pearl White at the age of 22. and some more Pearl White later on.
Last edition is my Ninja 650R. Kawasaki White pearl 15S has rather small silver flakes in the pearl coat, making it not so glory fitting bike perfectly

wash & wax and new stickers in silver, and job done:D
Pearl White looks great doesn't it? Just get that blue spring sorted and it'll be ALL GOOD!
There are yellow Koni, red Eibachs, so I thought blue KYB would be cool:D
Erm, like they say, "up to you!"

l prefer a faired bike mainly because you can go faster without the buffering.

Here's an exhaust that's quite rare in Thailand-
I installed a brand new MTC Exhaust (UK brand) a few weeks ago-
The MTC can features a removable baffle. Here is the MTC with baffle installed:
Had the headers polished too-
Awesome exhaust- feather light, seems very well made, sounds quite similar to the Arrow and with the British Pound where it is it was quite cheap!

I am soon going abroad and will not be using my 650R for 3-4 weeks. What should I do to keep the bike perfect condition? Full gasoline tank? or no gasoline? etc

3-4 weeks really isn't a big deal. Top off the tank with benzene, not gasohol and store indoors in a cool dry spot, put her on stands if you have them, not that big a deal if you don't. I'd disconnect the battery, but probably no big deal if you leave it hooked up for a few weeks. If for some reason you have to store the bike outdoors give her a good rub down with something like WD40/Sonax/etc to prevent any corrosion. Ride On! T

as Tony says, full gasoline, no gasohol. pump up the tyres to 45 psi and side stand works fine
if you cant park it indoors, you can park in my garage
battery no need disconnection for only 4 weeks on a newish bike

Isnt 45 psi way too much? Normal is 32 and 36..
Thanks for the offer, but I think I will be able to store the bike in my bedroom;)

To avoid squared tyres, manufactorers of bikes and cars pump up the tyres to storage pressure when leaving factory, usually 45 psi. Sometimes a bike or car can be parked for months before sold. Max pressure your tyres can handle can be read on the side of the tyres
Bike in bedroom is nice

First look 2012 Ninja 650R.
More torque, better suspension, stepped seat.
Posted 2011-06-02 16:26:17
Not to bother too much here, but will they change the versys and the er6n also? When will they start selling them?

2010 Ninja650R came to the shops August 2009, so expect August

Good- my september versys is still on then...
Posted 2011-06-05 10:08:22
I admit I photo-shopped a 250R tail on that pic above. But I did read from a reliable source the 2012 650R will have a stepped seat, more power and improved suspension. Maybe it will look like this:
