I really can't tell anything from that vid, but it sounds intriguing. I've always wanted a Kawasaki retro as well as a Honda.

Lets hope so.

If that is a picture of it (cant get to anything right now) that looks amazing... if it comes with 17inch rims I may be very interested in this bike...

My long term plan has always been to pick up a '17 CB11 to replace my aging CB750. This could change that. My first 5 bikes started with the letters "KZ". I've been following the rumors about this bike for nearly two years.

The pic that use2b posted is a concept image from last year. I'll be interested to know how close they got. I'm pretty sure water cooling will be a given, with the Euro 5 emission regs on the horizon.

Can't wait to see a pic of the real thing.

I think that's an original Z-1, not the new one. The obscured new version in the video has what looks like an LED headlight and bigger, rounder gauges.

from what i have read about this bike [ including this concept ] is that it is water cooled with air cooled fins also and that is a radiator up front .
my guess is the combination will allow more HP and we all know Kaw has always upped Honda on HP with new bikes even if handling and brakes were sometimes less. IMO
The thing about the CB1100 I like is it has a large air cooled engine does not over heat because of the modest HP and instead makes great torque . Would be great to see this new bike and even test ride but i will not be switching over with 3 Honda CB's already .

If it looks anything like the Z1 of the past it will have my attention. The original 4 cyl Kawasakis were gorgeous bikes. MD states that the engine will be the same unit as in the current 900 and that would be a good thing. My wife is ready to trade her beloved V-strom if Kawasaki comes through.

Even if it comes to Australia, I doubt if I'll be trading, but it looks as if it will be very tempting. The concept bike looks a great mix of old and new.
