Yeah,. Isn't thay a load of s**t!... Anyway, they are saying that they want the early release bikes to remain on the floor and take deposits for the others coming in. They're knida tight lip'd about it but I do have someone calling me back soon with some definite info on the problem! I am almost sold on buying one though! I have an 09' ZX14 I'll make a deal on if anybody is interested! Monster edition.... The wife isn't going to be happy though.. because its the most comfortable rear seat ride I have for her.

What about the late, late release of the 1400 ?
That was blamed on emissions or some BS right !

Already in some owner's hands...awesome!! 
Sure, Bikeland will be there to dog this machine every step of the way...but in the end, I'm sure it will turn out to be a fantastic machine!

Yep, Bob, I think that was right. Kawasaki needs to get these things right (new model intro's) The Concours rolled right out.....don't understand what the problem is...........

No doubt Shane.....it is looking to really have a lot of potential. But Kawi's new model intro's ARE lacking...........I remember the 12R...........

What are you talking about? This IS real info - the bike has an engine defect, sales are halted and they are recalling sold units.
Sheeesh.... 
This ain't april 1st, bro.

Details, please. The funny part is that you scooped this information up from a Bikeland user...and still can't dig up all of the details. Please, dig deeper and present us with something solid.
