I am not sure if I am happy or sad about this, but maybe it's better that they stop embarrasing themselves. Perhaps they should exit WSB as well, as they aint doin great in that series either. There was a time that I was proud to ride a Kawasaki, but now I can honestly say that I am glad that I no longer own any green meanies, as the big K have definitely lost the plot as far as bikes designs go.
One year its underseat exhausts, next year its side pipes, then the bikes have huggers, then they dont, then they have bigger throttle bodies (and that's supposed to be bettter), next year they are smaller, and yip you guessed it, that is supposed to be better.
Then they stuff up the mirrors on the ZX-12, and follow through 8 years later by stuffing up the mirrors on the ZX-10 by putting indicators on the stalks?
These people have gone crazy, people should just stop buying their crap and they will have to stop making it. End of Story.
