I always love the story regarding Kawasakis and that colour green. It was considered a bad luck colour for the Japanese, but they went ahead and painted their bikes in that colour anyway. I think they look awesome! Definitely not a bad luck story for Kawasaki!

(Ps: I can't be bothered Googling the story behind it, but I'm sure others will save my fingers from doing all the walking :lol

 

[Skelhorn]

Hahahaha I will look it up oneday
Maybe tomorrow whilst I am stuck inside with the rain pouring down in my playground

 

[Burnerism]

Glad to see its arrived for ya! Just remember to take it easy, to many idiots on the road!!

Have a look, Kawasaki manufacturing are one of the biggest manufacturing businesses in the world, you may not know it but you may use one of their products everyday, I have a KX250 my son has a KX60 and I also have a Kawasaki jet ski, love the Kawasaki

I got bored

Here: LIME GREEN - Symbol of Challenge

Daytona 1968

The story of this special colour began at Daytona in 1968. The paddock was buzzing. Kawasaki had just rolled out their A1R racer – and it was painted a scandalous shade of green. At the time, racing was very superstitious, and green – considered extremely unlucky – was a colour everyone avoided. By deliberately choosing to use Lime Green, Kawasaki announced to the world that conventional thinking would not be a barrier to the pursuit of new challenges.

Kawasaki's history is a history of challenges. The Tandem Twin engine, monocoque frame, Uni-Trak suspension... Such technological advancements were all achieved by resolutely exploring avenues that would give others pause – and all became weapons in our challenge for victory. In this Kawasaki has been constant. Not content in the comfort of convention, unafraid of failure, we have forged ahead, creating our own path. Pushing forward while remaining true to our convictions has been Kawasaki's ongoing mission and is our unchanging value.

Proudly cloaked in Lime Green, Kawasaki racers continue this challenge today.

Hiya Pete

Mate personally my experience with road bikes is limited to a few however this one is incredible. Extremely easy to ride, change gears, steer etc etc. It's a very smooth and comfortable feeling and has a changed seating posture to allow greater comfort for.longer distances. It still has plenty of balls (I'm 94kg...so not light) and it moves well with me riding it. If there is anything particular you would like to know let me know

P.s love the carbon exhaust. I will look at getting one down the track...and a few other things too

Get into it (when you are old enough) so much more freedom than a car and you are (hopefully) so much more aware. Having a bike has opened my eyes to the vast amount of wan _ _ _ _ on the road.

Very nice!!! Always loved the ninja's, and love that green. Usually green isn't a colour I like either, but this is just the right shade

I went for a nice ride on my V Star 650 Classic on the Great Ocean Road to Lorne yesterday, I live in Grovedale so the GOR isn't far from me. I feel pretty lucky to live so close to the best motorcycling road in the country! Recently had Vance and Hines Short Shots put on too, check out the sound difference:
