Kawasaki keeps knocking with sportier sport-tourers.

Kawasaki is going to get me one of these days with one of their I-4 liter bikes, but this Ninja won't be it. I want their super charged 1000 cc H2 engine. Their sport tourer with the H2 engine has clip on's and the ergonomics is too much like a sports bike. Their naked Z H2, is, "naked", but the ergonomics are just right for me. One of these days they are going to get it right for my taste, and when that happens, the chain drive won't keep me away.

In the meantime, I am enjoying my S1000XR tremendously.

PS: the Z H2 is $20k with electronic suspension and all the other latest electronics, it only lacks wind protection. The only thing the XR has that it does not have is GPS mount and the wonder wheel.
