    It's a really good looking bike, love the heritage look. Not sure it's really marketed for your age group, but for mine it has all the perks of comfort. Sounds really good too. Slobones made a good choice there!

    It's 1 of those bikes that just looks awesome & IMO Kawasaki have possibly the best finish paint ive seen on their bikes! 😎👍

    Ahh memories had the original 4 cylinder version in the green , had so much fun on mine and should never have traded it in . I believe these new ones have a little more horse power but those fours did sound good good times !! .😉👌👍

      I bet they were great bikes even back in the day. Thankfully they haven’t put too much tech on the new ones. ABS of course has been added, but even the dash is still relatively simple🤘

    You're just going through a phase. 😂You can get from one end of the country to the other without breaking your back on a bike like this 👍😊

      It was fun being there with my group but I now need to spend the next couple weeks hoping the post man doesn’t bring me any letters 👀
      One thing I can say is Friday nights at the ace are certainly not the same as they used to be, really upsetting to think the ace won’t survive much longer

    Lovely drone shots while riding! "I'm not used to being comfortable." LOL Me neither. LOL It does look good though, almost a cafe racer style, a little bit anyway. It's a nice bike, probably makes a great commuter bike or beginner bike.

    That is a bit quicker then my W800 cafe but really nice Sunday ride with a little better on highways. Don't worry, you will grow up and appreciate your surroundings. Next you will know you will be 45 and wonder why you went so fast and didn't stop and enjoy the finer things. I have my Concours for long distance and a bit of fun in the triple digits for long periods of time to make the time shorter so I can enjoy the better places I am going.

      I can imagine this style of bike being great for the Sunday café run.
      I do hear that a lot, people telling me to enjoy being in my 20s while I can, I think eventually I will grow up, appreciate the ride a little bit more, and not need to turn everything into a race😂

    I love the green/gold colour option on this bike, wish they did it on the 900. You know me, I do love a retro motorcycle, so this ticks a lot of boxes for me.
    You are too young for a bike like this for sure 😀

    Given that this bike isn’t your thing, is this the type of bike that might suit a vertically challenged individual like me? Love the style as it reminds me of my SR seating style I had, plus looking at the stats would be a good first big bike to learn and use till I can get a Misty x
