Hi guys! Can anyone confirm whether this is actually the 2018 model? (this one) My friend says its not but the sales representative claims that it is. I've been burned before and I want to take all precautions before going any further with this dealer.

Thanks and happy riding!

What other model year could it be ?
I believe this is a new model - at least in the European marketplace.
Does the KRT refer to Kawasaki Racing Team - or something else ?
It looks like the model that Ana Carrasco is having some great success with in the Supersport300 class - which is new in the 2018 racing calendar.
What model year does your friend suggest it is ?

Surely the question is why the OP has not posted this in the biker section?

There isn;t an older version of that particular model - it's a new model.

You can check the model year of any bike or car by checking the VIN.

That's a very good - and easy check. I went to see a Suzuki DL1000 at a dealer that they had just taken out of its packing crate. It was two years old :-). I bought a 2nd hand Yamaha TDM900 which gave sterling service.
