I'd like radial brakes though for that proper retro-with-tech look.

Shame it won't be out any time soon though...... I've not seen anything which flicks my switch so much in a while.

Not sure...

Looks very much alike the Honda CB1100 EX

I like it , ya never know it might end up with radial brakes

If they get it right it will be a winner.

How often do they end up looking like the concept though....

The Honda has shitty old running gear though and a skinny ass rear..... almost tempted to throw a 'like yo mama' joke in there...... but I won't......

I hate it when you say something I can't disagree with or childishly mock......

errrrrrr..... you missed a '?' at the end..... knucklehead.

love you

Like.

I'd prefer black tubed radial forks and the classic darker green colour mind.

doesnt do much for me
would prefer the triumph thruxton or ducati scrambler if i was going to go for the retro look

Agreed on both counts

I like the Thruxton to look at...but sitting on it I don't like the thin tank and clip ons...
Ducati is horrendous...not even remotely a retro.

I like that a lot.

Amazing a stock exhaust that isn't utterly hideous. They can do it if they try.

The dealer I use was talking to Kawasaki UK yesterday and they were saying not to hold his breath and the likelihood of the bike being anything like the image in the flesh was slim.

It does look very nice though!

I really like the look of it but I can't help but think that part of the reason I like the retro look is that the style of the CAD drawing makes the image feel like an advert for a 70's bike?

Hmmm. Bits work, bits dont. A real mixed bag for me.

I'm liking the little ram air
