New Zx10r

[johnsilva]

Does anyone like this at all?
I think the headlights are too small (looks like its short sighted)
and at least the zorsts arent underseat jobbies, but they still look bad.
I think its summat to do with new emmisions laws and thats why all zorsts look wierd now.
Personally I love the 2004 ZX10R, but im not convinced by the new one.

Any opnions?

Nope I don't like the lights either.

[yorkshirelad3]

never been a fan of the ZXR series, more of a gixxer man myself

[MarkyPancake]

It's more about the rear for me; I'm not keen on the dual not quite underseat or on the side exhausts.

The "not quite underseat" cans is quite a clever idea though as most people will replace the stock cans as soon as it leaves the showrooms! Having them like that opens up a lot more options that a true unseat system that is usually very expensive to buy aftermarket. In fact the more i look at the pictures the more i'm convinced as those cans look like a cheap cast affair simular to a scooter

I agree on the headlamps though - kind of makes the bike look bigger than it actually is. To much green frontal area doesn't make it look as sharp. For once green might not be the best colour to go for....

Never been keen on the large hole in the nose but I think the lights look better, a bit less boggle eyed.

That looks terrible!!!

I think the original 2004 Zx10r will become a classic in a few years time.

The new zx10r is ugly as sin Too much green at the front, the front is generally to bulky for my personally taste, meh overall not very impressed

[fast_tzr]

When the 2004 zx10 came out it became my fave, but the new one is bastard ugly, it looks like a fish or something, cant really put my finger on it, no doubt it will be faster than everything else now, but its still hideously ugly, I have now gone over to the gixxer side...

[Rookie]

It looks like the front end has been hit with an ugly hammer. I'm a huge fan of Kwaks, think they're amazing looking bikes, but this isn't one of their best.

[Yeti]

I am absolutely in love with the 04 ZX10R but this one just hasnt quite got that something something about it to make my jaw hit the floor!

Its still a good looking bike and i would still happily take ownership of one but its not quite in the same league as it predisesor.

The front lights are a bit gay and frog like.

The new ZX is a munter. To be honest I think most bikes looked best 2 or 3 years ago. Im not too keen on most of the new 2006 models.

2 years ago you had the lush CBR-RR in red and black
The old school R6 is nice, I'd ave one o those
K3 gixer
ZX6RR

This is the ZX10 to have, with the can fitted too

the ZZR lights need to be on the ZX!
as for the exhaust it could be worse, it could be styled like the new R6

[mchaggis]

Bike manufacturers haven't even got the excuse of worn out dies for making minor cosmetic changes and not much more. Personally, I think the front of the new one would actually look better upside down. El secundo cuadro esta muy bueno.

The 2006 now comes with a steering damper.

I really like the 04/05 ZX-10Rs.

[Jack_Cheese]

The current model is absolutely gorgeous, though i think the 636 is better looking marginally. Most of next year's bikes look utter toss anyway, but the gixxers and most of the yam range are lookin nice!
