However, I prefer Japanese motors to have more than two cylinders. Don’t ask me why. I don’t really know myself. I just do. If that bike is anywhere near 400 pounds I can see a lot of older guys going for this as they ‘age out’ of the heavier class bikes like the CB1100. Probably pick up some first time buyers too although that price range might give younger folks getting into riding pause.Kawasaki lists it at 412lb kerb weight, which is decent in my opinion, and having ridden other bikes with the same engine Versys, Ninja 650 and the er6n, I think the performance is more than adequate. It's also utterly reliable and real-world performance is much better than a 4-cyl of the same displacement as it doesn't suffer from a lethargic bottom end. Gotta say I like the green with gold wheels the most
