Looks good with the bikini fairing and cafe racer seat too.

This edition wasn't planned for release in Australia, and once I knew it was out there it turned me off the original chrome/green look.

I spoke to Hills Motorcycles over the phone who gave me the auditory equivalent of the blank stare. The guy didn't even know what a special edition was let alone whether they had one. They were supposed to return my call with info but never did.

Seems they aren't available in Australia yet? I know with the original W800 supply is/was a problem. Couldn't get enough of em into the country to meet demand.

I didn't like it when I saw the first picture but this one is pretty sweet!!!

I just bought an old (read 'poor condition') CB500F on an impulse and my plan now is to turn it into a cafe racer if I can find some mechanical talent in me. I was surprised to see how big the market for that stuff is!!! I hadn't even looked into it properly until I'd bought the bike (last week) but it seems to be a growing trend and folks overseas are spending a mint on those bikes! Good on Kawasaki for offering something like that!

I appreciate them doing a recreation of a sixties Kawasaki. Why don't they do a modern Z9? Would be much more popular. :)
2 X ZRX1200R 4 X ER6N, GT550, 1988 ZX-10, 4 X GPZ250R, 4 X GPZ900R and GPZ750R :) Yeah I like Kawasakis.
