QUOTE(ZZR-Pilot @ Jun 20 2023, 03:30 AM) What kind of accessories? She's been bitten hard by the Z900RS. But if she's considering it, she must also try out the Street Twin next although the Triumph's puny tank kinda defeats the purpose (she'll be climbing up to head the engineering dept at her new workplace which is in Port Klang, so she definitely wants a fuel tank larger than the 13-liter one on her current 700 CLX). Still... try 'em all, I say. If she does make the switch to Kawasaki, it will probably be next year. First thing she'll do is to kit it out for touring for damn sure - touring windscreen, rack for a large tailpack & soft panniers... and somewhere to put her silly Doraemon mascot. Am also fallen hard for Z900RS after trying it out. Z900SE is a close second.

Got one centre stand, one grab rail for the back and screen protectors. All brand new, never used.

I think he didn't mean it as a question. He meant to say 'who needs all that power on the road'.
Frankly speaking, I'd like 200bhp, too.... hahaha

Wondering how they going to pricing the 650 classes. Since the previous CBU it's around 3+K. If they gonna put lower than that, pretty sure Kawasaki gonna rule for a while until MT07 V3 coming in.😂

Versys 650 - about 38.5k Ninja 650 - 35.2k and 35.9k depending on color Z650 - 34.5k and 35.2k also depend on color If you want your frame to be in green need to pay extra  I think that is fair price for current year This post has been edited by Patent: Jul 17 2023, 02:02 PM
