I want one, but I can't cope with the UK kawasaki dealer's inept attitudes, and high service costs, which I came across. Equally surely with the Japanese Yen currently so weak, these should be half this price. Are they made in Japan or outsourced?
cool. Is the 400 scrambler out yet? or whatever it's called. Haven't had a chance to ride. Family obligations and sort of crappy weather. But i start my faux Africa Twin regularly. It still starts right up which is more than i can say for the last couple of new bikes i've purchased. She's only... 35 yrs old?
haha, love that "faux" AT! the 400 Scrambler is out. I looked at it at european cyclesports. Looks good but it is rather heavy for a 400, especially for a ADV bike. So I am meh on it.
80 in second gear is still quite a bit for 2nd compared to a car, unless it's a Porsche. ;)
But it takes a while, not like the M who does it in the blink of an eye … lol
@@ThatGermanFella that's my preference otherwise I'd be dead or in jail. 🤣

From what I understand the engine is made in Japan but the bike is assembled in Indonesia 🇮🇩
@@ThatGermanFella I thought that was the ZX25R? I could be wrong tho.
@@TheCybusterGundam not sure I googeled it ... =) but the internet does not always speak the truth ...
I luckily live close to Bournemouth kawasaki by FAR THE BEST dealership I've ever entered in the UK for sure

Triumph Scrambler 400 is only 179kg & Speed 400 170kg both are out.
@@ruahinesrider That maybe so but it is not wearing the weight well, felt quite porky when I moved it around the store.
@@ThatGermanFella Weight might be high so feels heavy.My Interceptor was top heavy but it tipped into corners good but was bulky to manoeuvre.
@@ruahinesrider I would not be surprised if that is the case.
Kawasaki make great quality bikes.Be a hoot to ride but my back be saw after 10mins.
That is what I thought it will be but in case of the 4RR they managed a unique position with raised clip on’s that is actually comfortable.
