So after more than a year looking for a replacement for my 899 I was forced to jump ship and go to the competition. I wasn't able to find anything like my precious 899. Local prices selling 899 used bikes for like 1000€ less than what they cost new. Same goes for the 1199 and 1299. Obviously with 0 warranty. So I purchased new. Im a bit sad to say good bye (for now) to Ducati. Did love my 899 and lost it because of a carless drive. Any who, so I bought a brand new 2018 Kawa zx-10rr black matte. The winter edition model. Haven't received it yet but really looking forward to it. Sorry guys but could not beat the deal I got on the bike, basically 959 price range on a model that they only make 500 units. Hope to come back in to future but right now Im gonna enjoy this one. Cheers!
Phew the title had me panicking ....it’s fine a bikes a bike end of the day .....maybe ‘I’ve changed brands’ would be more appropriate at teatime, it’s ok I’ll pick me plate up and hoover me dinner
Yeah.....no problem. you can still be in the club dude. A bike is a bike no matter what,it's about the person that matters.
It's an £18,000 bike you can buy in the showroom going up against a £35,000 homologation special... h'apparently.
I've subscribed to the kawa forums but there is no good vibes like here. Thanks for the positive feedback folks. Cheers.
Not a bad brand to jump ship too - whilst not in same league I loved my old kr1s from the late 80s. Was looking at the h2r for sale in Bristol Ducati earlier in the week and came to the conclusion that I still like kwakers. Good luck. Shame the forum won’t be as good though.
38 years of riding and have always come back to something that stirs my soul! Owned 2 ZX10's .... great bikes .... but it's not a Duke! You will certainly enjoy it and hopefully be back another time.... Good luck fella
You'll hate it. No cam belts, no recalls no constant updates, it will drive you mad enjoy your new toy
