For clip ons, look at the Kawasaki NINJA H2 SX SE for $27.5k USD, price range and features, it's closer to the BMW's.
I have. A lot of extra money for clip-ons....
That said, I'll probably find an excuse to get out on one if our local dealers can get an extra one on the floor. Always had a fond spot for the Kawis since riding one of Keith Code's track-prepped 600s in 1991.
Lots of electronics, and it looks like they finally have the suspension sorted, but do I really want to start messing with a motorcycle chain again on a 600-pound beast?
In the end, the mass and chain are likely deal breakers..., I mean, as long as there's some semblance of a lighter sport tourer out there with shaft drive....
