As we predicted on October 25, 2003, Kawasaki will soon be selling its own version of the Suzuki V-Strom 1000. Okay, so it is an orange V-Strom. It is also the 2004 Kawasaki KLV1000, unveiled in Europe. No word whether the KLV1000 will show up in the U.S., any time soon.
Kawasaki also has a number of accessories for the KLV1000. We do not know whether they are duplicates of the Suzuki accessories available for the V-Strom.
