Will Kawi ever make a new 750?

You guys are forgetting that online internet forums often gather a larger percentage of intelligent riders; this is not indicative of the percentage of intelligent riders in the overall riding community.

We here on forums are into bikes, some of us do track days and race, most of us are into riding hard but also safely and geared up.

When the new ninja 250's come out we all are interested... the average rider, not so much. They all want gixxer 1000's.

The market for a 750 just isn't that large, in reality. The gixxer 750 is a sick bike though.

The other thing to note is bike width... the gixxer 1000 is a lot wider when you sit on it than the 750... felt like a tank when i sat on one. Even if the weights were the exact same, I would buy the 750 just for the shape.

I could easily see some BS laws coming out against liter bikes. So a ZX-8R could score some pretty good sales. Insurance would be lower too.

Stretch it out a little bit, make the bars low and far away like the original, make it look like the 10R from the side but give it its own upper fairing and no stupid turn-signal stalks.....Done.

Well...since that black stunter dude (can't remember his name) is touting a 636, all the stunters went out and bought one. Gixxer 750s are big squid bikes...don't fool urself.

No more than any other bike. There are far less 750 on the road than 600's and I saw a lot more percentage of douchebags riding 600's than 750's. Around here anyway, most of the 750 riders are older more seasoned riders. The squids will usually pass the 750 and go straight to the liter bikes.

Jason Britton is on a ZX6R, NOT the 636. He just switched last year.
