Yeah, while I appreciate it as a beautiful piece of machine art, and the details, I can't image actually riding it for long. The riding position seems really incongruous. Floor boards with forward mounted controls, and then the super low bar position.

It would look pretty in my living room though!

I sold my last bike in anticipation of the Versys 1000 coming to the states. I hope Kawasaki have not changed their minds.. Not sure what I would settle for if it does not make it here.

Gawd. So did I. Back in those days, you could actually get a test ride. I rode one of those and a CB550-four back to back. I couldn't have bought one on a bet, but that didn't stop me.

I had two of them way back when. They sounded GREAT, but they didn't move or handle or stop any better than other small displacement stuff at the time.

Their mythology is way bigger than their reality. Nice bikes, for their era, but I don't miss 'em.

Sorry here's another cruiser for you. I mean it must be a cruiser since it is an Indian....

Not a cruiser, since it is an Italian V twin.

I want one of these. I am sure the experts on ADVrider will know what it is without an explanation.
