Kawasaki's monster? I'd rank it about the same as the 1600 Classic, which means behind it when you factor in price. It is going to be interesting to see how the bikes in this class evolve now that they are essentially second-tier bikes. Fat Boy: 3.5 Stars Classic: 2.5 Stars Marauder: 4 Stars discount Kingpin: 3 Stars —Art Friedman Ping Friedman at Art.Friedman@primedia.com or at ArtoftheMotorcycle@hotmail.com. discount Cherney: Never thought I'd see a 1600cc motorcycle regarded as "middleweight," but that discount sad day has arrived. These bikes still scream "full-size" to me, and nothing exemplifies that heft like the Kawasaki 1600 Classic. Technically, the pumped-up 1600cc motor works fine, but if you're going out for something more than a straight-line spin, you'll be disappointed by a sluggish chassis. Harley's venerable Fat Boy still manages to be a nice surprise, with its 1450ccs of visceral rumble and not-as-bad-as-I-expected-it-to-be handling. Still, cornering clearance is limited and brakes are lackluster, so it'll take a bit more than strong curb appeal to pry 17 large out of my tattered wallet.
