Whats your favorite Kawasaki besides the 250?

Heed · September 30th, 2011, 10:23 AM

I like the Ninja 1000 for some reason.. looks kinda like a hybrid to me

Kevin2109 · September 30th, 2011, 10:34 AM

I love my 636

M · September 30th, 2011, 10:39 AM

I'd say my '07 Ninja 650R. I've enjoyed it for the past sixty-one months, alongside my various Ninja 250s.

I also liked my '82 KZ440. I'll probably end up with one of those again, or an EL250.

So do I

The 05-06 zx6r is probably my favorite as far as looks and performance go.

Zombiphone · September 30th, 2011, 10:46 AM

The Ninja 1000 was incredibly fun to ride, from my brief demo experience. But I find myself unreasonably attracted to the Z1000, particularly the 2007-08 model

^^I'm currently shopping around for one of these for a street bike, now that it takes effort to make my 250 street legal. I think pulling my fairings off so much has given me a taste for street fighters

Mountain Dew · September 30th, 2011, 11:02 AM

Definitely the z1000, but I'm not ready for that yet.

My next bike is going to be the KLR650.

sombo · September 30th, 2011, 11:05 AM

For me it's the 00-02 ZX6R/05-08 ZZR600. For some reason I just absolutely love how that thing looks. I have to try one out though so I don't know if I'd actually like how it rides.

DjDiablo · September 30th, 2011, 11:06 AM

ZX6... looks and prformance... that will be my last bike.... i think i dont need a 1000cc

patw · September 30th, 2011, 04:52 PM

KLR 650. Love this bike.

LoneRonin · September 30th, 2011, 05:10 PM

05-06 636, 2010 Passion Red ZX6r, Ninja 1000

Those are all other Kawi's I'd see myself owning. Maybe even the KLX250 if I was looking for something in that class.

kaiserz · September 30th, 2011, 05:29 PM

i like z1000 i love the 636

Sailariel · September 30th, 2011, 05:48 PM

I like the Concours

Johnnyscoots · September 30th, 2011, 06:58 PM

Concours with all 3 cases or the Vulcan 2000. With luggage, of course

.

Firehorse · September 30th, 2011, 07:52 PM

This one. Not sure what exactly I would do with it...

Find a dragstrip I suppose?

That is terribly sexy!

bluepoof · September 30th, 2011, 09:05 PM

I loved the ergos on my old Z750S. It was a blast to ride and super easy to tour on.

Yasko · September 30th, 2011, 09:26 PM

This is the one for me.

Lil_Green_Demon · September 30th, 2011, 11:47 PM

Kevin's 636 is a crook. Look at that eye mask it's wearing! The bike is hiding its identity!

My favorite Kawi bikes are the ZX-6R & Z1000. The Ninja 1000 is also really nice IMO, but not my fav among the list of Kawi bikes.
Of the 3 bikes I listed, I'd probably only shop for the ZX6R, even if money weren't an issue. I don't think I'd ever want anything more than a 600cc bike. Hahaha

Fly'in Ninja · October 1st, 2011, 12:00 AM

For me, It's the Ninja 900 (GPZ900ZX)...Had a '84 red and grey and a '85 red and black.

Ranor · October 1st, 2011, 01:46 AM

Z750/Z1000 drooool

Pure Lunacy · October 1st, 2011, 03:45 AM

My favorite bike(s) is actually a tie and one is Kawi powered and both are old school.

The 1st is the '82-'83 Kawasaki KZ1000R:

The 2nd is the '83-'84 Bimota KB3:

Another one that is a close 2nd to the 1st 2 is the Bimota KB2 Laser:

Xoulrath · October 2nd, 2011, 07:34 PM

I'm enjoying my '08 ZX-6R. I like the way it looks, and I am loving its performance. I also love the 636s and would have easily been as happy with one.

As far as any Kawi other than the 250 and my ZX, I would probably have to say the new 10R. It looks good (I like that it is different and more angular) and the performance, at least the Euro-spec, almost matches that of the BMW S1000 for a couple grand less.

gfloyd2002 · October 2nd, 2011, 09:13 PM

If I were to get a bike other than my ninjette, it would probably be a Versys. Would be a great adventure tourer, still flickable for fun on the weekends, plenty of power. Motorycle Magazine motorcycle of the year in 2010, and it only costs $7500 new. Great value.

Kurgan · October 2nd, 2011, 09:28 PM

My next bike won't be a Kawi, it'll be an R6, and after that a Triumph Thruxton with a Norman Hyde fairing, old school cafe racer.

Havok · October 3rd, 2011, 07:59 AM

Ninja 1000

Reddoak · October 3rd, 2011, 09:49 PM

Pretty partial to my ER-6n. It's weird looking, fun to ride, and not all that common around here.

But I really like the Z1000. If I go bigger, I'll likely get one of those.

ninja250 · October 4th, 2011, 05:58 AM

You're sitting too far back on the Ninja 1000.
If I were to pick any Kawasaki I Wanted... it would probably be the Z1000.
That thing does have some nice curves. Heard the power is off the chart.

Here's the Z1000 in the colors I like..

miss_syn · October 4th, 2011, 06:34 AM

I think the Kawi Green 6r is really sexy...

I don't know because I haven't ridden anything but the ninjette and MSF bikes...

CZroe · October 4th, 2011, 12:54 PM

I liked the ZX6 and ZX10 better when it had undertail exhaust.

DarC · October 5th, 2011, 09:39 AM

I'm a fan of the 636.

rockNroll · October 5th, 2011, 09:42 AM

I don't like any Kawasakis

"A" · October 5th, 2011, 03:38 PM

At $450, what's not to like:

ninja250 · October 5th, 2011, 05:37 PM

Yeah I still really like that bike..^^^

cerberusrex25 · October 5th, 2011, 05:45 PM

This one is my fave, aside from the new ZX6Rs (08 up), I like the F series because it had the best lines out of the old school ZXers IMO.

nickjpass · October 5th, 2011, 07:30 PM

Not that my opinion matters, but....

sombo · October 5th, 2011, 07:41 PM

That's a Suzuki, not a Kawasaki.

Hahhahha I'm surprised someone noticed.. hahradhharhd.

I like this Kawasaki!

Heed · October 5th, 2011, 08:46 PM

The ZX14 has always reminded me of a ZOID.

It looks like a tiger.

The gills on it's cheek makes it look like Liger Zero. Definitely has that Japanese look.
