True true/any-wh00, My pockets are not meant to subsidize Honda or any other manufacturer really. I, and I think I speak for other people as well, we want the best product at the best price. If one manufacturer does not make one, well we shop for it somewhere else. Sometimes the manufacturers dont make it period! Then we are forced to improve their designs. If you want an open litre bike, where you gona go? Kawasaki or Suzuki are the only ones making gt style 1000 cc plus bikes. In time one will be added to my stable ; ) may have to lie about the price and such. Little white lies never hurt anyone right? BTW Murray used to make the fastest, bad-arse pipes. Now, I think they are called Brocks now.
So say the people on the Ninja 500 forums about the 600's. So say the people on the 600 forums about the 1000, etc... So what's your point? They must be selling, or they wouldn't still be making it. Unlike our beloved VFR800. R.I.P. VFR800
When you get to be older than gawd himself and you start farting dust, something kicks into the noggin about excessive Cee Cees and speed killing or something like that. Anywhoo, bullshit mistakes kill, not the bike. My brain will always side with horse power :smile: I got an EX and dont belong to a forum, and if I did well, I guess a Kawasaki 636 would be a good steed. But bang for buck, that parallel twin is hard to beat. Since its not an EX or Kawasaki forum that is me dont wana get lambasted for changing threads in mid-stream or heaven forbid, the dread-locked "hi-jacker."
