Kawasaki should consider doing a retro KZ to be matched with the CB. They would make great bookends. I'd say Suzuki too, but they may be too small to pull it off. Yamaha just didn't have anything I wanted back then.

They did it back in the 90s with the Zephyr series. Basically new versions of the classic KZ bikes. They didn't sell well here, but the series sold for nearly 10 years in Japan and Europe.

Zephyr 1100


Zephyr 750


The timing may not have been right for the North American market. I think if they tried it again today they'd see better results.
