No Supersport Single...sniff, sniff....

No new zx-6r either....well hopefully they at least replaced the LCD tach, as they did on the new 10R.....does anyone else think the 10R has a rather large rear? can't stand those huge signals on the rear of the bike.....oh well might have to look to the other camps......

KLX 250 vs. KLR 250 vs. Super Sherpa 250. I wonder how all these Kawasaki dual-purpose 250s compare. I'm guessing the KLX is more offroad oriented than the KLR. And the Super Sherpa is air cooled, so its a different bike for sure. Speaking of the KLR 250, is it still marketed in the U.S. in 06? I know the Sherpa was dropped from the U.S. market some years ago (big mistake imo).

Ah HA!!! The dealers says he wants a smaller bike for someone that isn't happy with the small bikes that are currently offered....

Maybe it's time to bring over some of that forbidden fruit to satisfy a market niche?

Come on Japan send us your 400cc repli-racers!!!

No, no,no. This is the US, remember? Everything must get bigger Bigger, BIGGER! All the time. Just because.

Let's see the Vulcan was originally 1400, then it went to 1500, then 1600 and now 2000! The "little" Vulcan was 750, then 800 and now it's a 900! The original Ninja was 900, then 1000, then 1100, then 1200 and now of course 1400cc. Will it ever end? I don't think so. Now let's see, where did I leave that Boss Hoss catalog?.....

That'd warrant a replacement of my current Concours for d@mn sure.

Europe gets an ABS option on the "Squiddy-14" (Think Matrix, then look at the headlights). Do we have the ABS option here?
