I like the Kawasaki with the exception of the large space between rear tire and the rear fender resulting from the Mono shock design. And where would you put a rear rack? I'm stay'n with my CB!

I love the green, but the 900 on the side cover in 5" lettering is overkill, detracts from the look.

Mono shock design that leaves the tail "floating out there" always look strange to me.

I don't mind the radiator. Water cooling. Has to go somewhere and even the long vertical radiators don't look great on the bikes that use them. The sides have been hidden with plastic in the past but I didn't like that either. Air cooled did now allow as much power and engine life. The bike looks shorter than the original and the tank does not seem as long as it should be. Rake is also too steep. That being said, I'd still enjoy it.
