I do have to agree with Rod that Kawasaki is building great bikes. My new ZX1000 (Ninja 1000) is something else. I also like the Concours and the ZX14R. I do think it would be much better if they could build and sell TWO-STROKES. There ain't nothin' like them.

Point taken !!!!! Maybe garbage was the wrong word,but you are right, the new Kawasaki motorcycle's don't appeal to me at all !!!!! For those of you that have a new Kawasaki and like them,good for you !!!!!

Personally, I think they should be building a 4-cyl. 750 2-stroke , with all the Mod Cons...!

I like the older bikes too as you can see the bike not the plastic and as for that bike it looks like an over grown gt750.

+1 the last Kawasaki which appealed to me was the ZXR1100 or 1200 excepted I tried one: heavy like a boat anchor
strong engine yet

.... ride a ZX10r - Hold it full-throttle to redline in the first 2 gears, and TELL ME ABOUT IT!!!

last actual bike I rode was a Bimota Tesi 3D on 2010, very impressive and so light but couldn't put 30.000 € in a bike (just mental). I thought and still think I would buy one used with very low mileages half the price new or less on a few years
Bimota should be used in my country you find them in VGC with real low mileage for a third the price new ten years before.

The ZX10 R is probably the better one of all the new Kawasaki's,and I am sure it is fast.When I was in Japan last week,there was a a magazine with great great close up res shots of the new Z1000.I am looking at it and I just shake my head and go who designed this ???? To me,it just doesn't work.It is all over the place and although they call it naked it doesn't look naked to me. And one thing is for sure,it seems they wanted it to look like a bug or a animal with the Sumo style or whatever they call it and it does,so Kawasaki succeeded with that.I just don't understand how they can have the legacy of the triples and the mach name and not do anything with it.It seems like such a waste.I walk into a Kawasaki dealer here in Dallas and in 5 minutes I'm ready to leave.There is nothing that gets me even remotely excited with Kawasaki !!!!! I still hold on to the hope,but with each new year and each new model they release,Kawasaki gets further and further away from what I want to own !!!!!!

Cycle Canada... 20 square fours produced, one remaining. The inside scoop.... Interesting read!!!!!

Do we know if it's two separate twin barrels, because a single quad barrel would indeed be a biyatch...?
