If Kawasaki bikes are so good...

...how come they have very little success in the BSB, WSB and MotoGP?

 

Put Rossi on one and he'll win.

HTH.

 

Not on my ER-5 he won't

Not for the teams it isn't.

 

Aren't Kawasaki commercially in bed with Suzuki now? It might not
make much sense to throw megabucks at two separate efforts, just enough to
keep some brand differentiation.

I built a Yamasaki back in 1998 - 1986 Yamaha RD350LC YPVS F1 engine in
a 1989 Kawasaki KR-1 rolling chassis.

I ride way too fast to worry about cholestorol.

 

OK, that's a *no* then....(???)

 

I know Kawasaki _were_ selling the DL1000 rebadged as a Kawasaki but
if I'm not mistaken they've ended their cross-promotion arrangement.

Somewhere, if not I'll pop round and see the bloke I sold it to, he's
still using it.

OK, it'd be good to see a snap of it.

So many of my (S.O.) bikes were 'pre digital' camera and who TF could be
arsed to mess around getting films processed - until the kids came along, of
course....??

(Actually, my earlist bikes were only in B&W!!

 

Suzuki and Kwak shared a few models, but they were in the cruiser styles and
I don't believe the partnership lasted very long.

Agreed, but it's the best colour for the Zed thou.

Maybe Kawasaki didn't think it a good enough bike for their trademark
colour.

 

French pilots?
