Well I read the add and watched the video of it. Yes its nice but I don't know if its worth 17,000.00 . Its 1800cc and 100 pound of get it down the road go go. I am sure a few of you have seen of read the release. The first thing that jump into my mine was its time for Kawasaki to bring back its answer to this big six like they did before with the KZ 1300. The funny thing is after 34 years our six's still out horse and out power most all the bikes out there even the big V twins. I would love to see Kawasaki come out with a 1800 to 2000 cc big six. Knowing how Kawasaki thinks it would have to be the most powerful bike on the road and ride nice too.
What do you guys think is it time for Kaws big six come back.

Hi Bill,

I also ride a Valkyrie and have complained about the piggy handling caused by that fat front tire.

While Honda won't talk about it, I see the new Valk has a more normal sized front tire. Another advantage of the New Valk would be the ABS.

I was active on the AVA (American Voyager Association) board for quite a while at least I was till:

1) The AVA started requiring paid dues to access the inner sanctums of the site.

2) Ma Kaw perverted the new Voyager by basing it on a V twin.

I am looking real hard at getting me the Kaw 2000 if I can find one with low mileage on it. Other wise I may go with the VTX Honda 1800. I am just not willing to step down in power And I know you know what I mean by that. In old age I just wish my KZ was just a bit longer in seat room for the wife and me.

While I would love to see Kawasaki coming up with a new sixer, I am sure I would be massivly disappointed as the bike woudl simply not be what I love on the Z13.

I am sure they are thinking about somthing, however briging up a new in-line six will be too costly to develop, so it will be anyway a V-Twin.

regards,

Holger
