I own a Harley. I’ve owned Harleys since 2007. A good friend of mine rides with me. He bought the Kawasaki Voyager a couple of years ago. He ribs me almost every time we ride because he saved about $10k. I still prefer mine over his, but saving $10k isn’t a bad idea either. He rides to all the same place I ride. It takes him to the exact same places. It is dependable. For those on a budget, I’d say it is a great buy.
I agree. If you can afford what you want, get it. If not, get what you can afford.
and will out last out run out brake and out handle that harley. oh and cost a ton ess to keep on the road, change oil adjust vaves and 100-200k is a breeze and is smoother to boot
I see no mention of the Connie 1400, unless I missed something
I believe the Concours has been discontinued. It's no longer listed for the US market.
Still got my fingers crossed for a inline 4 Z400RS
Sounds fun, we'll see what gets released next year.
Nice. I'd like one of those.
If they do it, it will use the same parallel twin as the current Z400.
What are your thoughts on why they might go that route?
I feel the only way you pass a parallel twin as “retro” is to use a 270 crank that’s what the old twins were…Or you would use an inline 4…That’s why the z650rs is a flop and everyone loves the z900rs…I’m really curious to see what they do!! Especially considering they announced the ninja 500 with the 451 twin but once again they went 180 crank on it😢. Hello Kawasaki…Yamaha’s cp2 engine is killing it!! And if Yamaha releases a r9 with the cp3… shots fired Kawasaki !!! Please please wake up and dump these 180 crank twins they are about as entertaining as a Briggs & Stratton lawnmower engine…
just my thoughts please tell me your perspective and reasons they might use the 180 twin 👍
Kawasaki, like many other bike manufacturers, keeps costs down by using the same engine across platforms, whenever possible. If the z400 (now z500, for 2024) has a parallel twin, then they will be very motivated to use the same engine in the RS version. It’s basically one bike, with different trim. Look at how much is the same when you compare the Z650 with the Z650RS. Again, basically the same bike.
Bummed there is no Versys 450/500x!
Got an order in for a 40th Anniv ZX-14R. I figure it might be the end of the line for that big mama since it hasn’t been upgraded other than the collector paint livery. Still, as a fan of the old ZX-7R in those colors, I couldn’t resist.
Nice!
mid 90s zx7 was best looking bike along with zx9 ever made next to the old ducatis of same era. the 988 series and the like with twin slit lights dual undre seat exhaust those were works of art but ducati is expensive and temper mental but looked the best the zx of mid 90s best looking real world sport bike to me ever made and are as reliable as well any good jap bike
Great summary!
Thanks!
I am excited to see the new 2024 Ridge side by side.
I hope it's H2 powered.
😄
22:00 if youve ever ridden an e-scooter(which is way lighter), u will realize how efficient and convenient it is having the reverse button. Its one of those things that is not appreciated until u start using it
their prices are insane
Awesome reviews
Where is the 230 w
I don't know if they are sending a standard, cafe, or yet a third designation of the w800 to the US. I want the handlebars that reach into my pockets and pass my billfold to mammasan under the table.
Got reverse because that's the beauty of all electric "ain't no thing going backwards" with all electric...so if you want to back it into your motorcycle trailer can do that for pure BEV. Expect rebates for 2024 so I wouldn't get too hung up on pricing as there is so much product now flooding in from Europe plus Honda is still so dominant as the major Industry Player globally lots of bike out there right now would be an understatement. Beats paying $40,000 US Dollars for a Polaris side by side! How's that for price gouging!
WTF--- i remember in the late 90's the vulcan 750 was shaft driven -- why belt???
now??
I hope the eBay batteries are cheaper than others. A friend of mine had a Brahma electric motorcycle. It’s the one that had a manual clutch and manual six speed transmission. I’ll get right to it. He let the batteries totally discharge on purpose, hoping it would take a larger charge and give more range. It ruined the batteries. The battery pack for that motorcycle was $42,000. (fourty two thousand us dollars) He ended up selling the bike for parts on eBay
Thats sooo fukn stoopid to be that much--YOU couldnt pay me to have an EV anything...nobody wants to charge THAT shit all the time.----lets ride !! Only combustion engines here!!lol'
Some of them bikes you say adventure or dual sport they don’t even have a skid plate on them or any crash bars they’re just small street bikes Real dual sport adventure bike has aggressive knobby tires on it
I've noticed as well it's getting more difficult to see the difference in the tires between a dual sport and a supermoto. Should be a significant difference.
The KLX230 dual sport has a 21” front rim whereas the supermoto has a 17” front rim. So that affects tire selection and handling and ground clearance. And from the factory the dual sport may have street biased tires for safety and efficiency on the highway, but because of the rim size you can change to a more dirt biased tire if you want to. And skid plates and brush guards also are usually optional.
The supermoto is going to be more limited to street tires but will handle much better on the street as a result of the rim size and tire type.
I personally would rather go for a dual sport vs a supermoto for the versatility it offers. But I can see the appeal of a light weight supermoto for someone who doesn’t want to go off road, but likes to do stunts or just has to travel really rough roads. I think they would be a lot of fun.
I can’t for the life of me see how they can warrant the extortionate pricing on these models, same goes for most mew motorcycles to be honest! Your basically talking engine frame wheels etc, where’s the value? Must be a consequence of my old age I suppose, or something to do with still living in the past!! To be honest and relatively speaking, the Chinese seem to be coming out with more reasonable pricing strategy, which I should imagine will see them selling many bikes in 2024!!
As long as people keep paying, they'll keep raising prices. Eventually it will crash, just look at the car industry, it's crashing significantly because they kept on raising prices until people decided to stop buying. Now they've got big problems.
Interesting POV...
So the ZX10RR is now not street legal?
I don't know for absolute certain, but description says "track-focused", and pictures look like there are no headlights.
@@cruisinwithphilI can see the lights on it, plus it has mirrors and turn signals. It’s street legal
I bought 900a1ninja for 3537.50
You mean the 1984 Z900 A1?
I'm and older rider been riding for more than 52 years. I use to race Kawasaki 72 H1 and in the later 70's with a 72 H2 back in the 70's at the drag strip and again 1n 96-98 with a 96 ZX11. I have to say I would not buy a new Kawasaki I do not like any of them.
Stop buying these overpriced motorcycles.Buy used.
Save ya 15 minutes if it has a big K is is a good bike bahahahahah your welcome for the time i saved you. fact is today any of the big 4 are pretty much great bikes for their assigned duties
E bikes are a complete waste of time and money.
E or EV anything is--Damn all that charging --lets ride!!
