It's a really good bike, I nearly purchased one at the Kawasaki store in Watford a few weeks ago. If it hadn't been for the salesman, whose lift didn't go right to the top, I would have. I wanted to pay cash and politely asked him since I didn't want the subsidised finance could I have something of similar value as an extra, say a helmet or boots. He looked at me as though I was crazy! When I walked out of the shop he had the to admit me for my name and address for customer follow up! I'm still looking for a new bike.
