Kawasaki had the Ninja 1000 available for demo rides, and I partook. Wowee! Its amazing; the performance of a supersportbike in a comfortable-riding package with luggage. It was so easy to ride the bike at a blistering pace; the only bike I've owned like it was my Interceptor. Kawi does really good demos too; we went down twisties, superslab, city traffic, hauling ass most of the tome. The Ninja did it all... Even the windscreen was perfect.
No, I'm not trading the CB, its still making my day. But if I was looking for a new bike from scratch today, it would be a tough call.
The new VStrom 1000ABS was kind of a letdown. They made a few improvements to the original for sure, but it's really the same bike at heart.
