What I don't understand is why Kawasaki is determined to compete in the retro class when Honda can't sell its one retro in any numbers.
Well, I do hope they market the bike better than Honda, who basically just dumped the CB1100 in dealerships. Lessons learned? And, the retro modern market is hotter than ever, perhaps Kawasaki will catch the wave at the right time, with the right bike, and the right combo of marketing and accessories. Or not, in which case there will be crated Z900's in warehouses for years to come!
