Well, that didn't take long, just made a deal on a new 2020 V1000 SE leftover...I couldn't resist the price, $5,300 (CAD) less than a 2021 and Kawasaki is including an extra year extended warranty (so 3 years in total). The 2021 has the new skyhook suspension, but it seems that most folks are happy enough with the current KECS system.
Now, we just need winter to go away!
