It looks like it's a bit of a mess on those photos.

Nice - i like that.

Any ideas on price?

£20k is being mentioned a lot. Nothing confirmed yet.

210hp and 137nm torque.

Blimey. You have to really want that power to spend that as there is plenty of competition. I admire Kawasaki for doing it though. Supercharging is way better from a maintenance and reliability standpoint too.

It'll be comfortable, rammed full of tech and fast. I don't think it'll be as big a seller as the SX, because that's already quick enough and is a bargain, but I can see it selling reasonably well. The busa did alright.

I suppose they did turn the boost down then hence cooling not being an issue.

I'm sure it will be an astounding mile muncher but that's a lot of money

No idea Cav, it's only just been unveiled this morning so there's not much information about it yet.

Bit more info in this vid

I'm just going off the quoted power figures being lower than the H2. Boost would be the easy option - it's what they do on cars.

I suspect they are worried about fuel consumption as well. No point having a tourer if it's only going to do 125 miles before needing a fill up.

Surely a 30L tank will fix that

19l on this one, same as the SX.

Boost is great ..... Straight through pipe will let the motor breath and it will be a weapon. I like the idea going back to busa hyper bike days good touring bike that will make wee come out when you want

all the details about the bike are in the second half of that link.

Kawasaki are going to supercharge most of their bikes ,development is well under way

Jeez that looks massive! I quite like it, wouldn't buy it though but I think it would be a reasonable seller

The base bike is quoted as 19250 euros.

DMC are saying £15k for the base and £18k for the SE

£15k is fecking tempting.
