This will be my first motorcycle with LED lights and I'm really pleased about that. I was looking at converting my old CBR300 but it's so much easier just to by a factory installed set up.
I was watching a Youtube clip where this guy was testing the amp draw of different motorcycle bulbs and the LED headlight bulbs were drawing 1/6th to 1/8th of the current a standard bulb would draw.
Has to put less load on your battery and charging system as headlights are hard wired on all the time now here. Also a better scenario if you accidentally leave your key on whilst away from the bike for an hr or two. You may have a chance of getting it going again.
They are more resistant to shock and vibration which helps them last longer, up to 8x.
Also, they say LEDs put out a more visible light to other road users which has to be a good thing on a motorbike!
So there's lots of pluses there, good one Kawasaki.
