Did he actually show you any official paperwork from Kawasaki stating their production numbers. If I worked at a dealer I'd tell someone the same thing in order to make a sell now and get them on the waiting list like the rest of my suckers. The increase in MSRP is normal just like every other year to adjust for inflation. I Just bitched about it in this thread because I actually had somewhat intention of buying a new one if I could get what i felt would be a good deal for one.
And on a side note, Motorcycles/ATV's/Etc are the smallest part of Kawasaki. They pail in comparison to the other Big 3 Japs where in comes to recreational motorsports.. So I don't think they would ever look at the tiny baby profit they get from the 250R as big bucks in their payroll
