if you’re interested in the electric motorcycle, offered by Kawasaki, first, ask how much a brand new replacement battery will cost when it is needed. I swear to you, I am not kidding about this A friend of mine bought an electric motorcycle. It was a Brahma electric motorcycle, it had a six speed transmission and a clutch. it may have been the first to have that, and it was strange, riding it, which I have done. You could stop without touching the clutch, and it would just stop, you could stop in sixth gear, and when you went to pull away from a stop sign and six gear, it would just go. But it was more fun to shift gears using the clutch. my friend left his key on intentionally over a few days because he read that doing so, would make his battery take a larger charge and give him greater than 105 mile an hour range between charges. That was wrong, his battery would not take a charge at all. It has a built-in charger. He bought the motorcycle used so it was not under warranty. so he called the factory and spoke to a technician, the technician talked him through basic tests. My friend has a technical background, and knows how to operate a multimeter. The test concluded that his battery was junk because he left the key on and let the battery goes Stone dead.. The technician told him he needs a new battery my friend asked how much is a new battery? I swear, do you, I am not kidding, I swear he was told that the battery consists of seven cells .. each cell costs $6000.. 7 X $6000. = $42,000.00 to top it off, the technician told him to carefully move that motorcycle out of the garage or away from any buildings, because in its current discharged stage, it could burst into flames all by itself .. my friend ended up selling the motorcycle for parts on eBay.. maybe the price of the battery has come down over the years, this was about eight or 10 years ago. But I have not heard that the price of electric car batteries has gone down at all. Quite the opposite. same story for neighbors that have a Chevy volt. Seven years old, they bought it new, it has 72,000 miles on it. It needs a battery. The estimate from the dealer to replace the battery, $29,988… surprisingly less expensive than the battery for the Brahma electric motorcycle my friend had.. But the problem with that Chevy volt is, the Kelley blue book value of that volt is only $17,000.. The dealer refused to take it on a trade without a new battery so before anyone that may be interested in the electric Kawasaki motorcycle, makes a move, find out and get an estimate in writing, how much a new battery will cost or it will be a throwaway motorcycle, just like the Chevy volt, and the Brahma electric motorcycle, and just about every battery powered power tool I ever had. I always tell my kids when they ask me what I want for Christmas. I always told him, don’t buy me any battery powered anything because, every time I go to use it, the battery is either dead, or needs replaced within a couple years.
Horrible looking motorcycles! Horrible 50 year old looking dashboards. Who wants to ride an old looking motorcycle? Those motorcycles are for grandparents. The only model that I like for its modern look is the Z650 or Z900.
You skipped the z900RS. It’s the best looking bike in Kawasaki line-up, all the other models are pure ugly. I have 2 1986 Eliminators and 2 1987 ZL 1000 Eliminators. I was watching the Z900Rs since 2018 but the green did not do it. I walked into a showroom and in 2022 seen it in blue and gold. Wrote a check and drove it out the showroom front door. Love the bike. Thing about selling to Eliminators and buying a 2023 Black and Red one. Best $ 14387.00 dollars ever spent. Now if they made that Elimator look like a 1987 Eliminator they might get me, that new model is pure ugly. I have had a lot of Harley riders walk up when I pull in with the RS and actually come up and ask questions as they think it’s a 1973. One full dresser guy asked “How did you water cool it?”
I love my '23 Vulcan S but I want a supercharged version!
want the 2025 z1300 thats what we want kawasaki, bring it on
650RS: yes
W800: yes
ZX10R: I don't need any speeding tickets
DO NOT buy ELECTRIC motorcycles.
DO NOT buy ELECTRIC motorcycles.
DO NOT buy ELECTRIC motorcycles.
Only came here to see the vulcan 1000s which you've got on the front,but no mention of it
Ze-1 looking very interesting ,
You may want to check the price you quoted on the Vulcan S, it’s about $4K higher than reality.
I really like the line-up...except for the EV.
Kawa need to upgrade their 650 cc engine, it's king of the vibrations and not the good ones either.

WTF? Kay-wa-saki? I can't stand these AI generated narrations. Are people that lazy that they can't do it themselves?
Whoever produced this probably doesn't speak English
Baller ina!
Or too cheap!
Na minha opinião, a Z 650 RS deveria ter um escape maior mais ao estilo de uma moto retrô, como aZ 900 RS.
I like Kawasaki mc😊👍💪
Vulcan S MSRP starts at $7,300...not 12K
The Vulcan S is way less than $1200
Bring back the 900 eliminator with your best inline 4
crome fenders on the w800? look black to me!
When are they going to produce a decent size adventure bike???

Hard to forget the price tag on the eliminated when it was not shown or mentioned.
649ccのバルカンが良い感じ🙆
The Z650 DOES not have twin round headlights, Only a single headlight

Kawasaki Vulcan S should have 750cc engine now instead of 650cc.
It's due for an upgrade.
Agree 👍
