IDK Andy. It won't make me well. And while Kawi has a rep for building decent bikes in most circles, that KZ750 I owned for 2 years or so, took me anyplace I wanted to go, and came home in a pickup about half the time, with the output sprocket coming loose on the tranny output shaft, tearing up the chain, the sprocket hub and the $90 output shaft in the tranny, this despite my peening the end of the shaft over, locking the retainer nut in place lots better than the bend the ears over washer under that nut ever did. 3 times I had to rebuild it. I finally fixed it with a title to a Suzi GS-1000-G. Push button on right handle bar, go. AND come back every time. With an imitation windjammer making a quiet space for the rider, sit back, relax, have a cigarette, whatever. Top speed with the jammer on it was still in the 130's (Merican mph). It could go farther than my kidneys could in one sitting. Great road bike, gobbled up hiway like it was hungry. For some reason though, it was a deer magnet. Hard on bike and rider at 30 mph. Wore out part of a kneecap, trashed a good hard hat, never did find my glasses & broke a rib when I did the best getoff I'd ever done 26 years ago. I had no intention of having a 675lb bike sliding to a stop on its side with my leg under it. :( But I did miss the deer. :) Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
