Not sure bout the looks myslef, the back end looks very square - nice swinger tho. Although this looks appealing:

Don't like it at all, looks like it's nicked the front and back end off a VFR800i only it looks good on the VFR. I saw this a while ago, a side shot of a green/black/white one, I thought it was a new GP bike or something.

It does look quite like their GP bike - so maybe it was that you saw.

kwak need to sort out their current range instead of creating new ones all the time, they have fixed the ninja 6 even though it looks like a frog now, that thing is hideous (sp)

I'm not that great a fan of the new kwak design, while I do like the new r1, CBR 6 etc.

I'm also not that great a fan of the new GSXR1000, but if I had the chance to get one I would, in a simialr vain, I'd be happy with a zx10 if it was a really good bike, despite not particularly liking the looks.
(though I have been displaying some remarkably 'tartish tendancies recently, to the point of thinking about a paintscheme etc for my 9 :S)

By creatingthese new models they are updating their range. With that kind of thinking we wouldnt have the blade/r1 etc etc. Wed still al be riding round on bonnies and commandos. Rolling Eyes

And the problem with riding around on a Bonnie or a Commando would be? Very Happy

Nothing, but my point is that without new models there would be no real progression.

I think Kawasaki's current range has done pretty well for it tbh and doesn't really need sorting. The thousands of ZX-6Rs that have been sold is evidence in itself, the only kwak that really got left behind in time was the ZX-7R which is being discontinued anyway.

Hmmm, not sure about that really. The new zx6 does look beter in the flesh than in fotos (as do the sp2 and the r6) and I do like it, but this I dont like at all. Same goes for the GP bike VFR800 - tis all too pointy.

Eh? I know that they're producing an RCV for the road, but didn't know that it would be a 998cc...or did u mean the RCB?

As for the Kwak - can't say that I fancy too much, but then again, it's only a computer generated representation. For some reason, I can't say that I liked the pictures of the computer generated RCB either, although I'm sure that it will be nice Smile
