Nomad History...
I'm sure you guys have looked at the History page on the kawanow website and noticed nothing there.
Can any of you guys tell me the history of the Nomad....what year it was first introduced...was it a 1500?...etc? Thanks, Trip

Hey Element80, does your screen name indicate that you're Mercury or does it relate to the metal band from Tyler?

The year was 1985, Ichiro Kawasaki saw a Harley Davidson Road King and spent the next 14 years trying to duplicate it.
Am I close???

Or did you mean Road King? When I tell someone what I ride and they ask what it is, I tell them it's Kawasakis version of the Road King. They figure it out after that. :(

element,
Yeah, we definately will get together one day and ride. We will.... give it a little time. Before I ride, I've got to install a new fuel pump. My pump is sounding so bad, I know it's about to go out any minute.
