The only disappointed people in here will be the idiots that keep claiming it’s not real and will never be released.

It may be real but we are not going to see it for a long time. Kawi has much bigger issues right now, and that is trying to figure out the reliablity on their bikes. Stu Bailor DNFed another race last weekend. For the last couple of years he DNFs about every 3rd or 4th race with bike issues. This has been a disaster - not a good look for Kawi. I mention this because if we ever do see a new 2T it will first and foremost be an offroad 300, that is where the sales numbers will come from.

The air filter design on the new bike does not bode well off-road

Have you heard Stew Baylor ride that thing? He’s on the limiter damn near everywhere and Camp Coker was very dusty definitely didn’t help. The 300 will be seen within 3 months according to Ryan Villopoto

The new bikes are being shipped as we speak.  Unfortunately the shipping containers are on ships that are stuck at the Port of Hormuz.  Trump's fault. 🤣

Did they let you try the full electric mode or were you only on the hybrid mode?

Watching you continuously trying to be funny (but failing) is starting to get pretty cringy.

Sorry to hurt your feelings. They should invent some sort of Block feature so the police officers of vital don't get overly frustrated by sarcasm.

Maybe it could look like this?

Or you could just stop spamming up the thread. The first 15 jokes were fine but at this point you are just trolling the thread. I’m not sure what type of self validation you would need to move on. If i ran vital I would block people like that. You aren’t debating, discussing, or arguing a point. You are literally just spamming up the thread.

The whole thread is spam. There's not 1 verifiable comment with details on the new model specs or release date.

Unless the new mini's were the new 2 stroke release. Then the Spam is cooked.

That has ZX-6R (636cc) vibes to it. Just a little extra to entice a potential customer.

And as mentioned by me and others we all know how you believe. It’s spam at this point. You have said you don’t believe it’s real(for lack of better words). Stop spamming the board and let those who actually want to discuss, debates or argue points do so without your constant spam. It’s old. ML needs to block you at this point. You are no different than those bots.

If you disagree with me, then you must have some valid counter points? Right? Like model specs and release date? Photos?

Otherwise, it's childish to wish the opposing voice would go away.

I never said I agree or disagreed with you. I said stop spamming. I can’t tell if you are actually a moron or just trying to be a douche. Either way not my message board so do you.

Maybe they shouldn't. Seems to be doing just fine every year the way it is.
