KIWI RIDER 05 2019 VOL.2 | Page 111

Thank you, Kawasaki. Thank you for building such a thing. The world, if it’s not to disappear up its own nanny-bottom, needs more things like this WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW Q: Is it faster than every other bike? A: Are you faster than every other rider? Q: Will I go to jail? A: Yep. Q: What is the payload? A: 190kg, big guy. That’s you, your missus and her make-up bag. So that’s pretty good. Q: Do the panniers come off easily? A: They are 28l Givi units, so they’re good quality and yes, they come off easily. But you cannot get a helmet into them. Q: Fuel economy? Please don’t hate me for asking. A: You’ll get 300km out of a tank. Unless you’re in a hurry. Then you’ll be fueling up around 220km. That supercharger starts drinking pints instead of shots when you’re on it. Q: Does it have a USB thing so I can upload my terror on Facebook? A: Nope. It’s got one of those ancient 12V socket thingies instead.
