Pretenders to Mass Centralization

I had to laugh watching the YT video of the Kaw Z1K.
It sounded like it could have been ripped from an Erik Buell video.

Check it out and flame it if you feel like it.

That thing is UGLY! Nuff said.

Looks like something off the set from Transformers.

IDK looks pretty fun to me

Erik got on right at the beginning trend of streetfighters. When Kawi is doing a streetfighter, you know that it's peaking.

Yeah, copy or not, I'd take one of them.

 

[Macbuell]

I would probably ride one. HATE the exhaust, but other than that, it is different enough to have between my legs.

If this thing runs anything like the ZX-10 it would be one hell of a ride...

 

[kokomochandler]

mass centralization was around before erik started coining the term. just because people do the same things doesnt mean thier copying. or buell copied ducati on tube frames and using vtwins. i like that kawi up thier and i liked the old z1000.

It might look good and have the same tech, but guaranteed it lacks the thump and soul of the Buell. Just my Opinion.

I still love the first generation z1000, but it was about 50lbs heavier than it would've been. I'm much rather sacrifice some power for a bit of weight loss. The only things I'm not crazy about on this model is the fork covers. They said that it went along with the weight forward thing, but adding extra weight down low isn't the same thing as moving already existing weight down low.
