I agree! What were they thinking..? They must have saw that great big ole' speedometer in the Scion xB and thought "wow we need to do that". Haha.

Other than that, it isn't bad. I'd take her for a spin  :thumb:

I'll third the headlight comment. I wonder how hard it would be to get a replacement headlight that looks cool.

But a WRX tail light would look so much better. None of that accord crap.

i like it.. a lot.  Just don't like the Kawasaki sticker.
LIFE should NOT be a journey to the GRAVE with the intention of arriving SAFELY in an attractive and well PRESERVED body, but rather to SKID in sideways, CIGAR in one hand, favorite beverage in the other, body thoroughly USED UP, totally WORN OUT, and screaming WOW - WHAT A RIDE!

Meh is right... some things I like, some things I don't.  It has much potential, but they didn't quite pull it off right.

looks like a moped, crotcher and an errector set got in a fight. and the moped and the erector set are still going at it.
Kinda sad really.

first off its a Kawi...
and secondly, that guage atop the headlight looks awful

on a scale from Ford to 10 , I'd give it a definate "Meh.."

I love it!  I don't want my bike to look like a flower.  I want it to look like a sasquatch's @$$hole... nobody would F with it.
I came here to kick @$$ or chew bubblegum...and it looks like I'm all out of bubblegum.

I agree that we need better low-displacement sportbike options.

Very nice. Change out the headlight for something a little more traditional on a street fighter and you'd have me sold.
