Faults:

Engine would bog on acceleration. Kawasaki fixed the head for free through the dealer.

General Comments:

I bought this bike in boxes, lots of boxes, put it together and it ran funny on acceleration. Kawasaki fixed it for free even 16 years later. I opened up the air/pipes and this thing rocks! Now with hard bags and a windshield, I can go anywhere.

This thing has major acceleration, only four gears, but you can hit gear 4 at twenty and roll on baby...

Most comfortable seat ever, have had Corbins on the Harley and Royal Star. Still the stocker beats em all.

If you stay off the throttle and cruise at a steady 70, it gets better than 40 MPG... more if slower. Kawasaki got it right on this one.
