Its been a while, so I guess I am a "newbie", especially considering that KZR has had a major / complete "make over".

It will be interesting to see the next stage of the KZR evolution.

I notice that there is some discussion regarding the old versus the new. IMESHO, the situation is best summed up by the saying "carpe diem". What was has now gone, what is here now should be enjoyed.

I will give a very hearty second to Klacko. Back when I first found this site Murph and Twocam both gave me much needed info. Welcome back, Murph. I sure missed your posts.

Wow. *THE* MurphyAU. Nice to see you're still alive/around. Your attitude and expertise has been missed. :unsure:

By the way, I completely agree.

But what is a "bad penny"? :blink:

It's the penny that hangs out with the wrong crowd, drinks, smokes, causes trouble, rides an old beat up Kaw that looks like it came off the Road Warrior set, you know the type!:blink:

Wait that sounds like me!:huh:

Great to see you around again Murphy! :)

We all know change is inevitable, but IMHO Stein has put a lot of time and effort into "re-creating" KZr that will pay off in the long term.
You can please some of the people all of the time, but it's near impossible to please all of the people all of the time. I'm positive the new KZr will grow and prosper in due time with input from the plethora of knowledgable members like Murphy. ;)

Welcome back Murph!

I have one request you had the most complete kz650 site on the web. Please send some of the articles to stein so he can post them here. You will get credit and be loved for ever by the kz650 crowd.
