Well, it happened again! Last year we couldn’t believe our eyes when the trucks rolled in and Australian Kawasaki dealer Brisbane Kawasaki rolled out the (near) complete lineup of 2015 Jet Skis and posted a whole bunch of pics on their Facebook page. Well, early this morning, pretty much the same dang thing just happened but at Guadalupe’s JetStyle, who just posted two handfuls of pictures of the dealer uncrating a brand-spankin’-new 2016 Ultra 310X.
Again, these are spy shots of an early delivery of a 2016 Kawasaki Ultra 310X Jet Ski, well before the official release which is expected shortly. Because Kawasaki’s Jet Ski lineup consists of several units based upon the STX and Ultra platforms, this peek is only of the single pearl-white-and-green-graphic’ed 310X you see here. Besides a swap in hood and fairing colors and some stylish graphics, the Ultra appears otherwise untouched, which had been predicted.
This, of course is a little disappointing to many who were expecting something new from the brand who kicked off the Jet Ski industry 40 years ago. With all the news coming down the pike from Yamaha’s introduction of two all-new models to their VX lineup, and a whole new entry-level engine that is both more powerful and lighter, to a year’s worth of rumblings about Sea-Doo’s push to over 300-horsepower in their supercharged models, another year of “BNG” (Bold New Graphics) from Kawasaki stings a little bit for fans of the Big K.
JetStyle’s own Pascal Gounouman provided The Watercraft Journal with the images and informed us that the Ultra arrived only yesterday, so deliveries are still very early. Obviously, the official unveiling will happen shortly and we look forward to seeing what else might be lurking behind the curtain for Kawasaki, but until then, enjoy these spy shots.
If it aint broke…dont fix it…..off shore winnings have been dominant!
