Kawi going retro for 2024 - 40th Aniv

That pipe is SO big it makes the rear wheel look like it was stolen from a vespa.

 

Well you can blame the huge ass can on world governments. Sure Kawi and all the other manufacturers would be doing things alot different if they had a choice.

 

that shit is as ugly as a 1988 Trapper Keeper. better idea...




and/or this green pearl color was the best one they ever did

 

Yes....that's the color.

 

Why are they calling it 40th anniversary? 1984 GPZ would be 40th.

 

1984-2024?

 

The GPZ550 was sold in the US in 1981.

I wonder if any other countries might get the original scarlet red with dark navy blue and silver stripes, for a more accurate 40th Anniversary paint job?

 

Yeah, 1984-2024 = 40 years. What am I missing?

 

Actually that’s 41 years…

 

The original Ninja 600r was a GPZ. It came out in 1985.

 

Maybe they released a green/white model in Japan but the only ones we saw in the US were red/black or red/white.

 

The absolute pinnacle of Kawsaki graphics....

 

It’s not even running and you can still hear the foot pegs and levers rattling.

 

I prefer the '84 GPz900r that I should have kept.

 

I wonder that with all the Anniversary GSXR's that been released? Too much math for my dumbass...so i just accept whatever they say.
And why not just sell all these bikes with the hideous mudflaps removed,and the dog shit exhaust in a box? Parts of my life I'm never getting
back removing ugly garbage. And that zx14 aint never gonna look good no matter what colors you try and whore it up with.

 

You mean like this '24 KX 450 50th Anniversary Edition?

 

People hate the Gen 6 10r looks, but I've always liked it.. I think the paint scheme looks sweet and I actually really love the silver frame.

Better looking than the BMW M1000R.. That thing looks like they took a 2020 2020S100R made a slit in the front upper fairing, and shoved a baking sheet into it.

Still wish the '24 ZX6R was RBW though.

 

I may have to have one of those 14’s in my garage. Looks good except for the exhaust that will be changed anyway.

 

I agree on the 93-95 ZX7. Always been one of my favorite looks but…. I want a matching ZX4 and ZX10. Full exhaust, open air filter and full bolt on bling just for old times sake.

 

Sort of, but you can't recreate that kind of early 90's Chicken Matiasevich mysticism....no matter how hard you try.
