More likely will end up with a Vstrom type bike again, hopefully the T7's good sales will inspire Honda to build a lighter smaller AT and Kawasaki follow suit.

The Kawa KFX 700 quad was a V Twin guess this bike if it happens would be parallel?

The seat height looks low, that in itself will fill a huge market gap...

Honda to build a lighter smaller AT

I felt a lot better when I read that bit, because normally I am a bit ashamed hence reluctant to admit I still believe in the Tooth Fairy ....

Looks heavy with that "hangpens". Like a cross between a TransAlp and a 650 Vstrom.

It's not really important how it looks and goes - after the mighty ::) T7 circuss, the only relevant question is if and when will it be available to us...

These are only renderings from some guys in Italy so who knows what those Japanese will come up with. Yamaha made Japan great again lets see what  Kawasaki Heavy Industries comes up with  :deal:
