That front shroud that makes it a cafe racer does not match the rest of the bike. Maybe they will have an optional different one.

I don’t understand cafe racers.

Now included with every purchase: Biltwell Gringo helmet. Bubble shield optional.

The new Kawasaki cafe racer will be better at picking up babes. Just look at the pictures! That’s all the proof you need.

Honda’s new “Neo Sports Cafe”

It’s like a less expensive japanese Monster. I like it.

I know nothing about motorcycle styling trends, but aesthetically I think I prefer a nice simple round headlight over a face that looks like an insectoid cyborg.

Something else to add to the list of hopefuls. But then again, I actually like this style.
No I am not going to buy a “vintage” style helmet. Those just look dumb.

you’d think they would’ve figured it out by now and done a SV650R, but nope we get a headlight cowl and a new paint job.
They have to know how much people love to track and race the SV for the past 15 years.

I don’t normally care about bikes but damn, that looks good

The Kawi acrtually looks pretty good for a retro bike.

^^^THIS^^^
Especially considering other stuff from their stable bolts right the fuck on. Look at the street triple... do they even sell any non-Rs?

Is a beard or manbun mandatory?
Suburbia-appropriate tats are a given :)

No harm to the SV, they are awesome bikes but If it wasn’t already a blatant knockoff of the old 90s and early 2000s ducati monsters, this is like out right copy pasta.

RIGHT?!?! they would have sold Shit loads of svr. But it would have stolen GSXR sales.
Also i did have a customer who has a non r street triole. I was very confused at first.

Oh it was a japanese monster. All the looks but it actually worked the majority of the time

Im okay with non insect lights. But that light has LITERALLLY been used for 25 years now. Its lazy not elegant. The new hondas have circle lights that look modern.

I guess the GSXR sales argument is a solid one, but sportbike sales have been slipping for years and they need a way to shine above the competition in the current battleground that is “real” street bikes. I don’t understand why so few brands do it, and even less bring it over to NA. KTM lost a customer in me by not having the duke 690R in the USA, that would have been in my stable so damn quick.
Alas, I had to settle for my STR when I was hungry for something fancier than the SV :p

The duke 690 is already reasonably high spec though...

The air cooled bikes are actually quite robust. Some of the liquid cooled ones, not so much.

Front felt a little soft to me, plus I’m a whore for adjustability.

Someone at Suzuki is trolling you.

Literally looks just like the older ones, which isn’t that much of an issue. Pretty good looking.
