That's why I suggested an add on windshield which I think gives better protection from the knees up than the fully faired bikes in these 400-800cc sizes which give you a lot of wind/rain in the face. I prefer wet feet to a wet head. You really have to tuck in on bikes like the Ninja and GS500 to ge...

Actually, no, there was no "de-restricted" version available. The Direct Connection computer INCREASED boost. This is why big power increases are relatively easy on ANY boosted engine...like the H2R. This is getting to be a circular argument here. There are many other factors for increasi...

Unfortunately, there is a large segment of the population that really IS too stupid to be trusted with anything more dangerous than a plastic spork...but they buy 1000+cc zoom-splats, and hopefully kill only themselves when their "LOW SKILL" light flashes. You do realize that the mass maj...

It's not a new concept...again, it was true for Chrysler turbo cars THIRTY years ago! (I did it.) You are confusing the process of de-restricting a restricted engine with the process of building a race engine using high performance components. Example of the former in addition to the example you st...

John, does it have to be an actual fairing? If she is just looking for wind protection, she can add an aftermarket windshield to a naked bike which would open you guys to a lot more choices.

If you seriously believe this then I have a bridge to sell you.

This is awesome! :kicking: Kawasaki has balls that other manufacturers don't have. :baby: Agreed. About time 1 of the big 4 grew a pair. Actually for a major manufacturer, Kawi has always been ballsy. They have made some crazy bikes like the original H2s, 750 Turbo, KX500, and the original Z10, ZX1...

And even it is, how long do you think it would take high performance and modding crews to take your 200HP street legal version and up its HP to 300? I figure about as long as it takes to boot up a laptop. This is already being done within the high performance and street mods circles for cars such t...

You are probably referring to this blurb from the copy: Not really, didn't even read it actually. I have been following this bike since it was announced a while back so I knew that the street version would follow later. This race bike is probably going to sticker for about $70K. The street bike wil...
