Kawasaki Z900RS

[nhawk7504_imp]

Now on Kawasaki's US site at $10,999. About 70lbs lighter than the CB.

70 Pounds is a lot. Gonna be a completely different animal. About the same as my liquid cooled Honda 919 which I only sold because the first previous owner replaced the forks and gauges so the mileage was off and the front end was a tad shorter. The RS won't have the engine pinging and fins. Won't have retro engine look, retro forks, retro twin shocks. What I really liked about the 919 is the way it settled in at about 72 mph on the highway. The RS will likely be the same.
I'd have both if I had the money and time. I also test rode the Ducati Supersport and that has its place too. Very nice machine. Bent over the front but that again is good at higher speeds and I like highways myself just to clear the cobwebs sometimes.
