i remember when honda revealed the total redesign in '08 and everyone thought it was hideous. same thing when dodge first released the ram with the now iconic big-rig headlight design. i think people's opinions will change as they get used to it.

personally, i rather like the look, especially the tail (although i can't figure out why they wouldn't put any kind of trunk on it), but the pipe needs to go. design kinda reminds me of an rsv4...

 

I prefer the 08 to whatever years that body style was. I have an 07 ZX-10 and it's nice - a lot more simple, but a bit more a fatass.

I've been kind of disappointed with the way 1000cc bikes have been designed lately. I don't like this ZX-10, I've never really like the Suzuki's, Honda is decent but has a couple deal breakers (lightning bolts near the intakes = barf). Yamaha I like but is a little bigger than I'd prefer. Out of anything, I think I'd get the BMW first, Yamaha second. Depending on which felt nice, also (comfort > looks).

 

I was in heavy anticipation of this bike ever since they announced that it was the Japanese bike to topple the S1000RR. It was not disappointing on its own, but did not really break any barriers. However, it's a monster of a bike and the electronics are really sophisticated and people are saying it's a better package for the track than the S1kRR is. IMO, if you dig it, go for it. YOLO is god damned right.

 

HAHA YOLO cracks me up... its tacky but its true...

Sent an e-mail to a Kawi dealer in New Haven. Going to go talk to him in person soon but like I said wouldnt seriously look into purchasing until the end of the year, and he said there might be rebates or specials at that time which was a really good point.

Mike, my GF said the same exact thing, I said its not the BEST looking bike, but she said you'll be flying by people they wont even notice!


Regener8ed ... I also like the tail, not pointy and following the same scheme as its competitors... I feel like it would be comfortable for riding 2 up ... exhaust always has to go on any production sportbike, along with the rear fender obviously.

 

Even if you dont like the bike, can you deny that this is a GREAT ad ... ?

"No Bodys touching me on this bike!"

Gives me chills haha

 

Almost everybody. Its hard to fly past Yolie

 

You're not the only one, my buddy loves them too. He sold his 07 RR last year and has an 06 636 now. He always got mad cause in a straight line he couldn't pass me on my F4i. His 636 is an animal though. That extra 36cc's makes a huge difference. He just walks away from me now in any gear at just about any speed.

 

 

^^ Raylee idk what that is supposed to mean lol

Guys, went down to New Haven Powersports today, and I may get this sooner then I thought, not the 12 but the discounted 2011 in black.

The guy who I have been e-mailing, this is his bike ... 2012, ECU flash, full titanium exahust system, etc ... 200 Horsepower!!! Very nice, and very loud... but he said "You should hear my Aprilia race bike, its alot louder then this"




Got to see the new RSV4 ... Wow ... $23,000 price tag on this bad boy.



Everything about it is amazing.

 

hmm, these new zx-10r's just really remind me of a witch riding a broom stick. too pointy nose like a witch and the stock exhaust looks like the broom stick.
