New Kawasaki 1300 for 2025 !

It appears that Kawasaki is coming out with a new six cylinder Z1300. I haven't yet read much about it but here's a link to a new article about it.:

Unfortunately that's a Kardesign concept drawing that's been circulating for years

Perhaps so but there's a lot of traffic on the internet about it.:

Personally, it would be difficult for me to believe that Kawasaki, after its positive experience with the design of the Ninja engines, would go back and opt for obsolete technology with heavy transmission chains between axles, cylinder heads with only two valves per cylinder and cardan transmission in a supposed 200 hp.

 

Well I checked the Canadian Kawasaki site today and there is no mention under the 2025 models of any KZ1300 being available.

You're probably right. I looked into DAL Motors and learned:
"DAL Motors is the exclusive distributor for a range of international commercial and passenger vehicle brands in Sudan."
I'm not sure I'd trust a car dealer from that part of the world. Although their website looks legit.
Who would put this much effort into something with no pay off?
