2011 Nomads

[elvis]

Where are they?

Does anybody know how they look like, any changes to technical specs or looks?

The other brand released their new line-up and some people are already riding the Ultra Glide http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photo...GlideUltra.htm

MaKaw release the new models in October.

Kawi seems to be the last manufacture to release the new models. I remember when they were going to release the 1700 everyone was extremely anxious and they ended up releasing it even later than usual.

They will announce the 2011 lineup at the dealer meeting in Las Vegas in early October.

Are you going to buy it?
Who cares..be satisfied with your ride.
A poor mans view..I suppose.
I stick to the 1600..and actually ride it.
Period.

Elvis,....I've seen a picture of you at the bike show, sitting on a Harley, now you're posting the H.D. models on KawaNOW. I hope I'm wrong but I have this feeling that you're thinking Harley Davidson. :-/ ::)
Tell me it aint so. ;)

I am not going to buy the 17 or a harley. I like the 16 just fine. If i wanted another harley I would have bought another harley. As it is I get too much stuff to fix. That's why I like the 16. It takes the time i don't really have to just change oil and i don't need another thing to fix.

I don't think HD is a better bike at all, it's just another bike of many. I grew up with them and Brit bikes before Honda, and ya gotta be as old as me or older to have done that.

Hi Rick,

Here we go again :)

Currently, we can afford only two bikes and if Santa is good to us this year, I might trade up the Suzi in the New Year.

Or if Kawasaki irons out the wrinkles in 2011, I would be very tempted for a new Nomad. Did you see a 1700 in person? The more I see them, the more I get used to the bags, everything else is awesome.

And when I grow up and earn a lot of money, I will ride a Harley ;) It'll be a Road Glide with dual pipes.

I think I'm gonna demo a couple of Glides in October at Deeley's; Street or Road I don't mind .

Absolutely, HD is just another bike and I would buy one if I had the money.

There is only one thing that I dislike about HDs is the majority of the HD owners. Emphasis on the owners. In my mind, every true motorcyclist would appreciate a nice ride in the mountains or on the freeway regardless of the make and model.

Anyways, when it comes to bikes, I am not married to any brand.

Speaking of which... on my ride to the Grand Canyon last week, I saw a couple on a Harley coming towards me somewhere on Hwy 89 in northern AZ. I was giving them "the wave" and he was giving me a thumb-up, right to the point where he figured out I wasn't on a Harley. Then he gave me the thumb-down. Dirtbag!

Am I going to buy it, maybe!

And yes, totally satisfied with my Nomad but was equally satisfied with my C50 also.

What is better than a brand new bike parked in your garage?

You admire it all winter then ride it in the spring.

And you ride it more in the summer.

A couple of summers go by fast and you start itching for another "new" bike. What's wrong with it?

Thanks, Scott. Looking forward to it.

It sounds like it happened on the open road, i.e. not in an urban area. So it is annoying, I would give him the middle finger.

As long as I`m riding within the city limits, I don`t wave anymore. If I get a wave, I acknowledge it but I don`t wave at anybody anymore because we have so many jerks in the Lowermainland, B.C. Canada.

Got a oil filter for the Nomad today and the dealer said thay were going to see the 2011's in October and he was going to try to have them on showroom floor by January for sure or by late December if possible.

A brand new paid for bike parked under my butt.
