That Gimbel one is a real Marmite job. At first glance I did not like the yellow paint, but did like the silver flash going down the side panels. Then looking at the whole bike I didn't like the way the silver flash then turned up again towards the tail.

The belly pan looks like the Australian body kit. I have a photo of an OZ one stored somewhere safe......! I will post it if I ever find it again.

My buddie does allot of 3D printing, he said just about everything has been printed off, like someone reverse engineered it, and that you just need to find the file. He said he would look into it.

That's the Ikon Kat prototype. Only chance to make yourself a one off copy thing, I'm afraid.

Blix, I respect your take on the new Kat, but I am really fond of it.

You know my zip around is a 2010 Z1000, I really loved it... for a while... kinda then it turned to like. The new Kat doesn't hit the mark like the old one, but compared to other retakes it's..... not as bad.

Camaro, Mustang, Mini, Bug, Z1000, Challenger and the BMW 128i (that I own). The Kat's closer in DNA to it's blood line, the others all missed the mark, so did Suzuki, but not as far. And for that I give Suzuki props (praise).

Suzuki went swinging hard and wild with the B-King (2006?), and I wish they did the same with the 2020 Kat, but it didn't happen, but it's better than any Star Wars that came after the 80's and I can live with that.

I had a Tiwaneese boss in the 90s (don't recommend that to anyone), she told me that in Taiwan, they had a bit of advise. Before you get married, you need to open your eyes as wide as you can, but after you get married, you need to close one eye.

I live by that everyday. Sorry for the long post, I'm drinking boxed wine, that seems to extend my posts.

The trouble with boxed wine is that you can't see how much you are drinking. It's always a big surprise when that 3 litre box runs dry on day 2.

3 liters in 2 days, looks like SmallKat is also a SmallDrinker :)

I think I've been drinking too much lately, Wifie had me switch to light beer. Luckely all her family are raging alcoholics, it makes my drinking look less scary.
