Right now, Kawi can pretty much ask whatever they want cause people are grabbing them up faster than the dealers can stock them, and there is zero competition in the states in the 250 class for sportbikes. Well, there's the Hyosung 250, but the base model (single color) was already 4K last time I checked.
As for the 500, the Ninja 650 is the replacement for it, hence no "upgrade" on the styling. They were supposed to stop production in 08 IIRC, but they keep selling.
