And not only that, but until they're ripe, they rip off Kawi green for all its worth! Is one company not enough for you bananas!? Will you stop at nothing until you've bankrupt the entire japanese motorcycle franchise!? Have you no shame!?
Leave the bananas out long enough and they the black resembles so many stolen bikes, or those that have been "bro'd" out... Darn bananas obviously have no shame.

Interesting story, btw...

The origin of the lime-green look dates back to 1968, when an affiliated sales firm based in the United States put in a request to a contracted color-design expert for color proposals that would enhance product recognition. That same year, a single Kawasaki bike that showed up in a race at Daytona Beach, Florida, stunned both race teams and audience members alike with its striking appearance. That bike, “the Kawasaki A1R,” was painted lime-green. At that time, the color was considered to be both unpleasant and unlucky in some Western countries, so its use was avoided in the racing world where superstitions were common. In light of this, the use of lime-green by Kawasaki’s racing team spoke to the company’s unconventional and daring spirit.
From then on, Kawasaki’s lime-green machine won victories in numerous other races and eventually acquired the nickname “The Green Monster”.

Too bad you can't order a Suzuki in a different color than yellow, I bet their sales would be a lot better.

Suzuki may have worked with kawi on this project, but that is a kawi bike with Suzuki plastics and different frame paint. Order parts for that bike and tell me why Kawasakis part number label is on it.
