You US guys were the lucky one's.
In europe they stoped importing the K5 in 99/2000.  In 2001 I've called Kawasaki europe(6miles of my house).
No potantial any more was there anwser.

I won a bid on E-bay for 1,800 for my black tank. It was mint and I still cant belive it. The lawyer that owned it before me broke his leg on it and had enough. :lol:
