Just had a look on 'tinternet, £14000 is a lot of money for a Kawasaki 650, even though the cycle parts are beautifully made, but it seems reasonable next to the DK motorcycles 400 Katana still on sale at £4500 :roll:

P.S even though Michael Rutter won the lightweight TT on the Paton the other bike with the Italian guy on it went pop earlier in the race.

Watched it go down Sulby straight...magic bike and looked fantastic. To my knowledge the only twin rear shock bike in any of the weeks TT races. Honda (spectacularly), Suzuki and other makes all 'went pop' at some point :D
