Will Kawi ever make a new 750?
 
Now that 600's are becoming less street-friendly, why not bring out a 750? I can guarantee it would pull good sales.................They proved that with the 636. Hell, it would probably outsell the 10R :idk:

thats the problem though, the litre bike is the flagship model for all of the big four. you cant have a smaller bike kick its ass. not even a little bit. the cayman is the same way. porsche will never put a full power engine in one cause its a fundamentally better platform than the deathtrap 911 and would smoke the piss out of it. look at how little suzuki has upgraded their 750, we had an agrument about it in abother thread. not me anf you but some other dude. drunken ramblings ftw

I've been waiting for Suzuki to drop theirs. don't count on Kawasaki coming out with another one.

but, they are starting to call a 600 a starter bike (Yamaha 09 FZ600R). so maybe I'll be wrong.

My first bike was/still is a yzf600r which is what the fz600r or whatever its called is replacing and its honestly not bad for a beginner whose not stupid. Not crazy fast, comfortable and very forgiving to rookie mistakes.

I think they'd sell like shit, just like in their waning years. Why buy a 750 when for about a grand more you can have the full on liter bike? There's not a large enough price gap between the 600's and 1000's where you could justify slotting in a 750 without cannibalizing some of the bread and butter 600 sales and losing sales to the liters. There wouldn't be enough sales to justify ongoing development.

plus for some unimaginable reason suzy's 750s outweigh some liters. whats the point then?

Dave 03-12-2009 11:14 PM

if it weighs more the handling is gonna suffer, yes?
