"This is the ultimate cruiser monster money can buy"
Why I went for it:-
1-The drag force it has (Feels like a superbike in the body of a cruiser)
2-Matte beauty (Jaw dropping looks. Doesn't look like a 230 Kg mammoth due to extended length)
3-Trusted engine with Japanese stamp of reliability and perfection
4-Ease of accessory availability and Kawasaki schemes.
5-Decent value for money
6-Easy to drive in bumper to bumper traffic
7-Twin parallel engine does not burn your thighs while driving (Intelligent placement in comparison to V twin body burners)
8-Easy to clean matte color
9-Headlight with Led replacement looks stunning
10-With bag grill installed you can take it for a long ride with your Bae
11-Quality of material used is top notch but, the one BMW uses steals the show (Kawasaki can take tips)
What I didn't like:-
1-Pathetic ground clearance of 130mm (Heart sinks at every speedbreaker and pothole specially with a pillion)
2-Stock seat hurts after 60 mins of continuous sitting
3-Dirt magnet
4-Filmsy plastic used at various places (Turn off on a cruiser)
5-Tool box is too cramped up and difficult to open/close
6-Insanely expensive accessories (Saddle bags and LED)
7-Back rest needs to be bought separately
8-Not sure why but, i don't feel confident while hard braking at high speeds (Rear tyre stability seems to be a concern)
9-Average is below expectation (15 Kmpl at present & i am optimistic that this would change after servicing)
10-Overhead of setting the rev at 1100 every now and then (Why can't a microprocessor do this job?)
11-The most basic feature "slipper clutch" is missing. Current system is good but every gear takes its own sweet time during downshifting.
12-Petrol tank should have been of higher capacity (14 L is too less) Kawasaki should give an option to go for a custom tank of 21 L as well.
