How did this ever happen?
Can you imagine buying a bike in ye olden days and the salesman telling you "if you want a center stand with your bike sir, it will cost extra".
Anyway of screwing you for more money!!
I bought myself a ABBA stand for my ZZR's, loved having a center stand on my GTR, now I need a center stand for my H2 SX or hope ABBA stands have made the bobbins for the H2 SX
Seems strange that a tourer with shaft drive that needs no short term final drive maintenance gets a centre stand, but a chain driven one go's without.
Centre stand is standard on SE model

So is a 12v Aux socket which I also have to pay for! :angry:
The SE is out of my price range and not available in black :sad:
The quality goes down the price goes up!

or it could be rationalised as "weight saving" ;)

:mfr_lol: Not likely, given the performance capabilities of the bike :mfr_lol:
So built down to a price not as good quality as it might be.
And what's with Kawasaki's limited colour schemes?
Green, black, or black and green!

Mine had a stand too. I remember RIDING it back from the dealer on a dark, cold, wet, December evening.
Anyone looked in to a better side stand the standard one looks way to skinny

May look spindly but is adequate.
I've sat on the bike whilst on the sidestand and it copes fine with my 27 stone. :D
