Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

I threw a leg over one last week and must say the bike felt well balanced, havent done the testride thing yet and dont know if i will.

Billy you could try this neat idea for a topbox and i think a couple of sizes larger would be even better.

Nice Didn't realise KHI and Nylex had worked out such a great aero solution

Must admit , I got quite a horn over the 14 ,

But nowhere as big as the one I got at A1 motorcycles

I guess you can't judge a bike by a picture because I saw one in the flesh today I have to revise my opinion of their looks. They look quite "Hot" up close, even the tail that everyone complains about looks ok when your standing beside it. It seemed just like any other modern kwaka size wise, and didn't look anything like a "pregnant guppy"

It was a light as a feather too!

From Shadows reports they seem the goods .

I want one ....................... as soon as they work out the luggage carrying details .

I agree having sat on one here this week. I found the seating position very roomy, not overly sporty, @ 6ft 105 kg I like room . But the looks are umm, diffrent . Where as I love the look of the ZX12R.

If you look at the specs they actually are a short wheelbased bike. 1460 from memory. Not too shabby. But as I said before the ride position is very sporty. It needs taller bars IMO, at least for it's probable target market.
