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 z750
S?
I also saw it mentioned on a WA Kwaka dealer's website as 2005 stock...
... 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

They're little coloured plastic things we used to put on the spokes of our pushbikes... Can't find a picture sorry...

Aren't they those bright coloured bead things that little girls put on the spokes of their push bikes?

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

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?

If i was going naked that'd be my choice.
