US models

Post by gyp23 »

Can anyone tell me if what I'm seeing on the US Kawasaki is what we should come to expect in time?

If so, I'm a bit disturbed... what is this thing they call z750S?

I also saw it mentioned on a WA Kwaka dealer's website as 2005 stock... :shock: ... I'm either right behind the 8-ball, or on the wrong planet.

Hey Gyp,
They've been selling the "S" model in the States and in Europe for over a year now. Funny thing is the don't sell the regular Z750 there.
A bit like the way they sold both the ZRX R&S models here, but only the R in the States.
Cheers,
Pete

Aren't they those bright coloured bead things that little girls put on the spokes of their push bikes?
If you have no fear, you're not going fast enough.

I don't mind the mini fairing on the Z750S, it reminds me of the one one the Yamaha FZ1. I think it might look better painted slightly differently though, maybe a solid colour with some decals?

Umm...I'd buy it...

But...actually a strong contender is the FZ6s...

Hopefully I'll be test riding the Z750 tomorrow though... :D

But the Yammy shop is on the way back... 8)

Actually what I really want to know is why I can't buy the Z in Kawasaki Green? I mean it's THEIR colour!! What gives?
