Kawasaki - Nov 23-5 New Vehicle Launch at 6am PST

Big K wanted to make sure it had ALL the buyers that wanted a KLR 650 covered before they come out with a new model.

If the new bike is good it will sell.

Considering how long they made the C-10, no marketing surprises here.

There could be a surprise from Honda coming next year. They have applied for a patent on a Turbo-Charged Africa Twin. I have an old friend that worked for Honda Powersports for many years and he has hinted to me that Honda is testing a more road based model using this Turbo 1100cc engine that the patent applies to. That would be something. A lightweight Turbo twin of about 150hp that will get exceptional mileage and develop great power even at higher altitudes. I think it would sell. One can dream!!
