dig it - everyone's shooting at the BMW for price vs. the package.

too bad the US models lose some HP that the euro models will get.

Agreed, and living in Louisiana, no smog testing - basically to pass inspection here, your vehicle has to make it into the bay under its own power, come to a stop without dragging both feet and not have any lightbulbs out.

Exhaust/Emissions? Meh who cares?

Im still not crazy about the new styling of the current bikes though with the short tail sections and fat stubby mufflers. Its almost like designers design the bike, then just give up once they get to the tail section. They look like an add on instead of part of the bike.

But a huge improvement non the less from previous models for the zx10 for sure.

I recantly read about the new kawi. no hard numbers, but the weight loss alone was eye poping!! and they promised big numbers....so, bmw is a moving target! granted a very fast moving target.......

yea the second video the guy said its not as quick as the bmw... and that he didnt really see any power differences between this year and last so i guess they didnt live up to quite all that hype... (then again that could depend on the us vs uk version)

however i beleive it will still be a great bike....
