Another top notch A Crapella performance by Loz! Love seeing you shit yourself a little, is that wrong?

" It's the first mass-market production motorcycle with forced induction.."
Ahem, SuzukiXN 65 Turbo, Kawasaki Z750 Turbo, Yamaha XJ650 Turbo, and the godfather Honda CX500 Turbo and the CX650 Turbo... All production motorcycles: All forced induction.
The Kawa claim to USP fame is `forced induction via supercharging` - and even then one needs to add `mechanical` before `supercharging` because the pedants among us will point out that forced air induction - or aerodynamic pressure-induced airbox filling, has been a feature on many different machines for at least 20 years.
Oh, and then after that one needs to qualify it again with `motorcycle` as Peugeot brought a supercharged scooter - the JetForce Compressor to the mass market in 2003...
Basically then, the statement is incorrect...

One of the best reviews I have watched in a long time - well done Loz - unbelievable bit of engineering - well done Kawasaki!

Special needs, indeed! So, your sayin' that this is the "short bus" for motorheads, then?

I'd love to take that for a spin on the freeway... although I'm an old guy and prefer motorcycles you sit on, as opposed to lay down on.

I thought Honda had come out with a turbo bike in the 80s?

Yes, Honda (among some others) produced turbo bikes in the early 80s.

Great response, great maneuverability...And it's ugly as hell! I'll wait another year or two.

Well I can see why you only got 25 mpg

Thanks snave/Nicolas/Woof - sorry, I'm aware of those and I don't know how that got through. I've edited the text!
Ronbh - we did plenty of boring freeway riding on it as well, we just didn't subject you to that in the video! Riding flat out gets you much worse than 25mpg.
