Not me. If I were going to purchase a newer retro-looking 4-stroke it would be a ZRX.

Barry Burton would be the one with the most info -- he's a nut on them.

No, it did not go retro enough and the radiator spoils the look.

The 2016 Kawasaki W800; now that is retro, available everywhere except here. Not sure what to call the 2018 Z900RS other than a half-hearted attempt.

Hey there Iron! It looks like a nice bike, but I doubt if I'll ever buy a motorcycle that's over about 400 lbs again. The light ones are much more fun for me. The next one I buy may be a Yamaha FZ-07. I don't like the looks, but I decided that from the seat, I really can't see how it looks very well, and I'm sure not buying it for other people to look at. :lol:

Beautiful skoot. Nobody likes radiators, on anything, especially retro bikes, but they are worth the HP and longevity you get with LC.

I know this will be an unpopular answer, but I bought a retro four-stroke, and I love it. 2013 Triumph Bonneville. Ric and Allen have them too although theirs are a bit fancier than mine....

I really like the Bonnie, my father had one when I was growing up. Nice classic retro, are you going to bring it to the gap?
