They made it virtually unchanged for like 20 years. Only stopping in 2006. Apparently Kawasaki sold fewer as competitors drove the markets towards "different", less comfortable, uglier but more sale-able styles. Its all about money isn't it. I am definitely biased. The corbin seat improves the ride and the pleasure by like 100+ percent. If you have had several and know what I mean, I'd like your opinion. If you haven't had more than one I sympathize.
