Well, you can make it look kinda like a Harley, might even be able to make it sound somewhere near a Harley, doubt very much you can make it ride like a Harley, but maybe ................... BUT IT AIN'T A HARLEY! So, as far as being a challenger to the Ultra, please take that BS somewhere else. When are you trolls gonna get it? If they did a total knockoff, couldn't tell the two apart except for the name on the title, real HD enthusiasts, owners, bikers, peeps, whatever you want to call them are loyal, if it ain't HD it ain't HD, no compromise.

UGLY

I hate the fairing and the stupid light set up and those hard bags are GAY!

It is not a Harley plain and simple. It can be the best motorcycle in the world but it will never have the soul of a Harley and no one will ever walk up to you and say "WOW" you ride a nice Kawasaki!

KOW = Kow Owners Group

MOOOOOOOOOOO

Hey anyone see the television commericial where the guy says that all the are companies are comparing their car to a Toyota Camry? Then he says why not just but the real thing!

I guess Kawasaki felt it would be easier to simply copy the "Real Thing".

By the time you spend enough money where that bike has the features of an Ultra, you could have gotten an Ultra.

No doubt that the bike will draw buyers. And, it's probably a great bike. But I don't think H-D will lose any sleep over it's customers crossing over to the yellow side.
