I heard from a local parts guy that,  honda & kawasaki are sharing a  cargo ship for the new 450 and 327….apparently it ran out of diesel fuel and is drifting towards the gulf of America….

The 2027 models are now covered by the handlebar clamp recall and are being repaired in the warehosues before we receive them. Thats the delay at the moment. Ours was supposed to ship September 28th and has been pushed 2 weeks.

Also some of the repaired machines from the handlebar recall may have defective replacement parts installed.

With the weight reduction this bike, it makes you wonder “Why are all the other bikes so heavy?”

It seems that the 2027's have been added to the recall bulletin that had to do with the handlebar mounts. Purely a guess but I'd say they are held up in the warehouses until the clamps are checked out. Or they could just be behind.

Same as the others, measuring the gap in the rear of the handlebar clamps. If they are out of spec, the lower holder gets replaced.

never considured not buying a new bike because of graphics or really never cared, SKDA, Rival, Design Lab, ect. Would you turn down a hot chick because she wore the wrong color pants? Strange thought process

Is there a list of what parts (if any) transfer over from the 25-26, to the 2027? Triple clamps, front forks, skid plate?
