They remembered me from the z1000 ride last February. Kawasaki is an awesome company, I am learning. They really seem to get the idea that to earn & keep customers, they have to maintain the positive attention of their customer base. This is *one* way to do it, create situations where people will talk about what they've done & what they have to offer. If I could afford another bike right, it would definitely, without any doubt, be a Kawasaki. Probably a '10 Z1000 or the new Ninja 1000. |

Yes, actually. They were discussing the differences in the Euro & US model in the car on the way to the track. The 207 HP with ram air on the euro model can be had on the US model by switching out the ECU, or getting a power commander.
I have a bunch of photos from the dealer show that I will share when I get them uploaded. |

They told me it's an ECU swap. The stock one can't be modified.
Having said that, I am not going to insist that no one will ever figure out a way to modify it... but that's what I was told. The hardware is supposed to be all the same (exhaust etc), just the programming of the ECU that controls the hardware is different. |

Ha, Molly is also in one of the MSF class videos. The section on getting ready to ride, if I remember right.
