Lods of new stuff to get in debt for the rest of your life today....KHI have just released these two....the z650 and z900

www.morebikes.co.uk/intermot-show-kawasaki-announces-two-more-new-models-the-z900-and-z650/

Does this mean no more z1ooo? - i think from memory the z1ooo displacement is only 50cc more than the 900 (998). Or does the beg zed get updates too...have to wait and find out...i think it does run for 2 days but i may be wrong...

Not so keen on looks of those two, think I'll stick the one I've got 😃

Not a big fan at the moment but it might grow on me like the gen4 has.

I dont really like either - the z9 looks like a gen1 z1000 - thats not to say theres anything wrong with the original gen1 (that was and still is ahead of its time but thats then) - its almost like Triumph....recycling their old stuff...everytime a new zed has come out in since the gen 1 its always been an evolutionary update. You look at it and think "yeah - i can see how its kept the DNA but evolved a little bit" - this is just plain old backwards....

Just to add that's why ive never owned a triumph....they always look (when they come out with something) like the design has been sitting in a drawer for 5 years, then, they decided to put it into production....the only triumph id ever own is the street triple r....and even then there'd have to be nothing else available and it'd have to be a well modded one at that...
