NEW 2014: CB 1100, CB 1100 EX

The four cylinder KZ 650 was a really nice bike. You are right, they should make more bikes like that.

They tried. Kawasaki's Zephyr series in the early 90's was basically a rehash of the KZ bikes of the 70s and 80s. The U.S. got the 750 and 1100. Europe also got the 550.

That was one of the reasons that prompted Honda to revive the CB750 Nighthawk in '91. Oddly enough the Zephyr boom really only took hold in Europe and Asia, so Kaw dropped them here after a few years. While the Nighthawk lived on until '03.
