    I think it looks absolutely superb. Suddenly, I know what I want for my next bike...

    I didnt read the specs but it kinda looks like a new version of a ZZR-600? Just with the seat/rider positioning etc.

    I find myself strangely attracted to this new Kawasaki...

    Hmmm, so do I hitcher, so do I
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    It hasn't come out yet!

    It is so new that Kawasaki still haven't made a final decision on the price!

    I've decided I want to get one when they come out - so probably in January (I think I'm a good test pilot for one of these, having spent 20,000+ miles (about 30,000km?) riding SV650Ss).

    From what I've read of the ER-6n (the one with the ugly nose), the engine is excellent and behaves much more like a vee-twin than a parallel. It also gets compliments for handling. But back to the engine, power and torque figures are very similar to the SV's mill. It seems Kawasaki decided to go for a parallel rather than a vee as they've never made one and didn't want an 'identity crisis'.

    I'll be putting something together (got a 4 article deal as long as I get one!) for UBG, so I'll find a way of doing something for my site that doesn't break copyright and let you know.

    All I can say is --I told ya so-That is gonna be one darned quick MOFO of a F3 bike.And they actually handle too--fantastic.
    Im committed to the SV650 project now otherwise I'd be jumping onto the kwakka quick smart.
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
