    Interesting...

    Kawi hasn't brought sexy to a bike in too long. And I say that fully loving the look of my '07 ZX-6R

    Re: New ZX-10 in Cycle World

    I've been hearing that a lot lately on different forums. I tend to agree. I guess they're counting on the 200 hp figure to push the bike. TC and ABS should be interesting though, I guess BMW really hit the mark with the s1000rr.


    On the other hand, if sexy is what you're looking for, look no further. She might not be the biggest or the fastest, but she sure is winning a lot of races.

    ^^That's the best picture I've seen of it actually and there it doesn't look too bad. I like that tail better than those of the current ninjas

    Just looking at the picture makes my back hurt. He's got the crouch, but where's the lean? His feet are almost parallel with the ground. That's more like bending over to touch your toes, his knees are touching his chest, has to be extremely uncomfortable.

    To each his own, I guess.

    Believe me, if I didn't bleed green, that Aprilia would be on top of my list. Still may one day, but may give the 2011 a chance. I have an 06 ZX10 with VERY low miles, and may have to pull the trigger......

    Even the slightly older ones are still pretty.

    Actually, I kind of like it. we'll see what the engine specs are. BMW SO raised the game with the DI and the variable valve event geometry that all the other are going to have to play catch-up or be left behind.

    God that thing is hideous... But then again I haven't liked the Kawis since they came out with the "butt face" look.
    I do agree on the BMW and the Aprilias though...

    See, it's all so subjective. I HATE that the BMW is so friggin' weird and asymetric. what, did Hanz style one side and Franz style the other? Uck! If they would fix that, it'd be a nice-looking bike. I think BMW should design the mechanicals, and had Pinninfarina (they've done every Ferrari and Maserati since forever) style it. THEN it'd be sexy like the aprilia. as far as sexy goes, the Bimota DB7 is still my fave. Man, the details on that bike.......

    Re: New ZX-10 in Cycle World

    no denying its a performer--and with kawasaki gaining momentum at the end of this WSB season I bet this bike will really help put them back on top....
    BPF- tc-abs- a really cool looking swing arm- but its shorter--hmmm..
    eveyone was trying to go longer---
    I think it looks really good! but looks are subjective and its hard to admire the bikes looks while you're riding it! I could care less what people think when i ride by---- so i go with the dash looks really good and the bike looks very slim too!
    It Weighs less than the CBR1000rr now - this is the big news!

    i also would like to add for those hating on each others bike's looks- maybe you ought to quit while you're ahead- I mean...Would you want somone "bashing" your ride? It could get ugly....Now if you own the bike thats a different story... you'll be bashing yourself--which people rarley do.

    Looks good, I even like the styling (for once in a long time). But, where's the direct injection and variable valve event geometry?

    What the hell is Kawasaki's deal with the ugly-ass mufflers lately? First the new Z1000 and now the ZX10.

    I don't know anyone nowadays that keeps the stock exhaust. Mine are stowed away in event of future sale. I think that Leo Vince on the Superbike looks awesome on it.
