The Sales people don't understand satire unless it's really obvious, but it's not their fault, Dale Carnegie didn't write any books about it.

Listening to the latest pulp show, Steve asked Dan Truman from GET "where is the Kawasaki 2 stroke, it was supposed to be out by fall?".... Truman said "it's coming"

Not sure that's entirely accurate. In fact, I'm not sure it's even breathing hard yet.

55 pages of speculation and no results. I'm guessing this is what a trump email trail looks like.

Didn't those bikes get pushed back to '27 models? If so, it's not surprising they aren't saying anything yet. It would probably be a mid-'26 release. They might tease 'em again before that, but probably not too far in advance (like they did the last time around).

I know you were kidding but those sales guys bring revenue into the company, marketing guys only spend it.   Think about that for a second.

I am probably wrong but i wouldn't be surprised if the shareholders at ITOCHU corp (own 20% of Kawasaki Motors ) have put this project on pause

I thought Kawasaki Motors was fully owned by Kawasaki Heavy Industries?

As of the end of last year Itochu own twenty percent of Kawasaki motors

https://www.itochu.co.jp/ja/news/press/2024/241108.html


Kawasaki had a small problem of too much stock 
Compounded with Building a factory in Mexico (they got trumped)

Which hampered their overall financial performance so Itochu canned a heap of projects which is why I wouldn’t be surprised if the two stroke revival project has been put on hold

(I could be entirely wrong though and there will be green two stroke for all…)

In every company, all the money that pays everyone in the entire companies salary comes from profits from sales. Without sales, there is no money for anything. Most people don’t understand this. They think sales is just an arm of a company. Without sales, you have nothing.

Its Real. Its Coming. Typically dealers order "Team Green" product in June, aka when the 27 model years drop. My gut tells me that is when we will see it, and the marketing department wont drop anything again until there is a concrete date

Waiting for this is like watching 15 minutes of porn, only to have the feed drop right before the cum shot...

I heard from a guy at work that heard from his buddy's dad who works at a shop that Kawasaki is waiting for this thread to reach 69 pages before they actually let us see the bike.

And without manufacturing, you have no product to sell. And without engineering, you have no product to manufacture. Without payroll, you have no manufacturers, engineers, or salesman. Without sales, you have no payroll. Gosh, it's almost like everyone is necessary. Go figure.

Yeah, funny how that works, isn't it? 🤔 

But enough of being sensible, let's get back to bashing sales! 😃
