Not bad!

But where is the blue?

mrcolin2u · 07-17-2012, 02:14 PM

Nice ! the yellow looks good.

**Belaflek** · 07-17-2012, 02:45 PM

Im a Vanderbilt fan so Im very partial to the yellow and black

**shane.barton** · 07-17-2012, 02:51 PM

The yellow version looks pretty cool. And I do like the looks of the "Bold New Graphics" too.

stonefly · 07-17-2012, 06:52 PM

I think the yellow is the coolest looking stock KLR color scheme ever. I absolutely hate yellow on automobiles, but for some reason black/yellow is my favorite color for a motorcycle. Well done Kawasaki!

That yellow is pretty damn snazzy. I also can't stand yellow on a cage, but this looks great. Im not sure but this may be the first yellow factory KLR .

Yellow and Black? C'mon...what is this? Suzuki RM250 circa 1985?
"19..19...1985"

I also want to go on record as saying the green and black looks great...because that is what a Kawasaki is supposed to look like.

BUT...as I have said before, the "KLR" graphic looks like the TRON graphic from 1980-something...

Pull the decals and they ALL are pretty good looking bikes.

Good for another 12,000 units, Kawi!

I see a lot of posts about how much people around here would love an updated KLR with FI, 6 speed, etc. The fact is, they aren't going to put much change into a winner. The KLR will remain basically the same until they stop selling as well as they do.
The caveat is, we MAY see FI in a few years if emissions standards force Kawi into that change, other than that, a KLR will remain a KLR.
- Cheers

Seems everyone is drawn to the yellow just as I was too.

I really like the blacked out forks and swing arm. Might be worth doing.

PittKLR · 07-18-2012, 01:03 PM

Ah Man,,, gotta vote for the yellow! I would have waited and bought the 2013 had I known,, but I do love my trusty red KLR more with each passing day (and ride!).

Bought my red 2012 a week to the day before Kawi released the 2013s. Truth be told, though, I don't care. The red & black was the only one on the showroom floor that day, which I was happy enough to snatch up and ride home with a whopping 0.7 miles on the odometer. Oh, and I saved $500 for buying the 2012 too. That's worth red over yellow to me any day. And don't get me going on Cabernet vs. Chardonnay, or a stouty red ale vs. some wimpy pilsner . . .

Not partial to all the black, but a nice set of yellow rim stripes on the yellow one would be the bomb!

I've always liked black, but yellow look good too!

I think they discontinued the blue because it was slower than the other colors

hackrat · 07-19-2012, 05:46 PM

The yellow and black just reminds me of the Steelers. I would rather burn it than ride it. Go Bengals!
