The problem really is how many new bikes do you see on the road altogether? Sales aint what they were in the 70's and there is more diversity as well (read that as Harley, Buells and European stuff which were basically dead in NZ 20 - 30 years ago) so the likelihood of seeing a whole lot of any model isn't that great. Not like say 1973 when every bugger and his dog rode a CB350 or something like that.

I didn't get my CB350 until I was 18 (1985). Must have missed out as a youth...

It's not a question with a straight-forward answer. The variables include how many dealerships there are, profile of the model (race wins, etc.), public perception (bike-buying public, that is), pricing, promotion, reputation of the dealerships, reputation of the bike, availability, etc. etc.
Suzuki do a pretty good job of promotion, seem to have biggish dealerships (and maybe more than other brands), and seem to appeal to squids.

I don't think Kawasaki has enjoyed very good sales for a long time, perhaps not since the halcyon days of the 70s, when their models were blitzing everything else. Why else do you think they joined up with Suzuki?

I don't know if it's still true, but Kiwi bikers have always wanted big bikes it used to be 750's and up, now it's litre bikes.

[Cajun]

still true Lou Girardin most people go 250 -400 then 1000cc, alot of the biker guys in tauranga see i got a 600 and go pfft at me cause i got a little 600.

but it suits my riding i to do a ton of riding around ton, and 1000cc bikes arn't very good for that.

Yeh,I was thinkin this too.Look around and you'll see more R1's than R6's,CBR 900/1000 than CBR600,Gixx thou/1100 than Gixx750/600 and more ZX10/9 than ZX600/636......Despite the fact that the smaller one's are more than most will ever need.......

I know kawa offer a choice in livery but usually import green to launch this is a mistake. Why is Green unlucky? well that just superstition but as a colour it suks.

My missus wont go near a green car and refused to let me get a green bike...statistics, green has more accidents
