Since Kawasaki opted to discontinue the Z750 for the US a number of years ago, I wonder if it'll be offered for sale in North America? We already know that the W800 is not available in North America...

I must be getting old because all the new bikes are really getting ugly especially the exhaust systems.

+2! The new bikes look more like insects than motorcycles. And the mufflers look like they belong on a tug boat! :laugh: Ed

Must be stealth tech because I can't see it. My eye does not want to linger anywhere. If I look at a classic my eye stops everywhere. Then usually pans back to see the whole. I can see where some would like it but not love it. Yes very insect like. Not fond of insects or insect like.
Take it from me cuz I found
If you leave it then somebody else is bound,
To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure,
When yours, it could have been.

Agreed, it didn't take long to look at the pics and decide that I'm not interested. I guess my eye prefers smooth lines and gentle curves these days.
