Dart developing flyscreen for CB1100

[HondaJon_imp]

looks Great...! and nice bike..

Yeah, aren't those W800s gorgeous? I'd have one in a heartbeat if Kawasaki ever sold them here.

Now that looks nice. It will be interesting to see what they come up with for the CB1100.

Hopefully looks just like the one in the pictures! I'm going to buy one as soon as they're available so will be able to give some real world reviews after living with it for a while...

They did sell them here. When I bought my Bonneville I also looked at that Kawasaki. In many ways it was a better copy of the original Bonneville than the new Bonnie was. But I didn't like the strange shaft drive for the cams (still the biggest visual eyesore on that bike to me) and it was a Kawasaki and not a Triumph so I bought the Bonneville. They sold them here for a couple of years but they never moved well here in the states.

Chip, yep, I'm well aware they sold the W650 here, if only briefly, 2000-01, I believe. I know a guy who has four of them. It's too bad Kawasaki is gun shy about selling a retro because of that experience, but I think the W800 would do better now that retro design is more sought after. I do like that the W800 has a substantially larger motor than the 650 and is fuel-injected instead of carbs. Staintune makes a full system for the 800 that sounds fantastic from what I've heard in the youtube video. Oh, and I like the bevel drive shaft on the one side of the motor. Different strokes for different folks, eh?

The 800 wouldn't be enough to make me sell my 1100, but I'd like to have both.

The problem is they brought back the wrong retro bike, Now a "New" Z1 in root beer brown and orange would be different.
