    it does look nice, around $15k seems quite reasonable, pretty good reviews too...

    Got this back from an dealer a few weeks ago "hot off the press Kawasaki is bringing in 1 shipment in Feb 16, estimated price of $14995 and only 6 coming for NZ"

    And

    "they are standard models, there projections for price on the LT was going to add $2000 so they haven’t done that, however the parts will be available to order individually"

    LT had the extra running lights and panniers from memory, and top box was another extra on top of that.

    Not the LT then. Sigh.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Apart from the luggage what's the difference?

    The luggage. It costs more to add bloody Givi or Touratech panniers than to buy the integrated ones.

    I'll just keep my one, because it's too much fecking about to get luggage installed and then you wonder why you didn't just buy something faster/more exotic/more Adv Touring oriented in the first place once you add the dollars up.

    Aye. We've talked before about the propensity of NZ distributors to thieve the luggage off new touring machines, (without discounting the price) and to then try to sell it back to you for the price the manufacturer wants for replacement items.

    Still, you'd be hard pressed to really justify the extra outlay anyway wouldn't you? It's not as if you're likely to wear your's out any time soon and it don't look overly hideous.

    The boy just bought one btw, not a Versys, an EN6F. Few changes from the one 'Er indoors had a few years ago but feels and goes the same. Except I'm not convinced about the rubber mounted pegs. Nice engine.
