The new Ninja ZX6 that is...
i'd still romp on it though

Well compared to the '08 CBR1000RR I think just about every other bike this year is looking pretty good.
Very nice. US spec or euro?
sick bike I have always hated the green but it is growing on me
ugh
and the 08 CBR1000RR looks damned good in person (as long as the color scheme's right). pictures make it look awkward and ungainly, but it's significantly smaller than one would expect after having seen it online/in magazines
hurray, strikethrough!

I like attention to detail in bikes...and I have yet to see that in kawi (my opinion of course). The headlights look like an afterthought and don't even match the shape of the bodywork, what's up with that crap? While all the other brands are making the bikes meaner/leaner looking, Kawi is staying with the bubble/fat look![]()

The new 10r is sweet IMO, but the 6 i do not like.

I definitley like this look better than the multiple plastic, disconnected, angular fairings that yamaha has been going toward.
I would have to agree yet disagree.
I hated the 07-08 R1 and R6 at first the more you see them in person the better they look.
but this goes without saying for any bike. I have yet to see a picture of a bike that looked the same in person.
the 1098 for example, looked bland to me in pictures, but every time i see one in person i begin to drool.
its all in the pictures.
The only bike i see as ugly hands down is the new busa, looks like crap in pictures and even worse in person, but then again that bike wasn't necessarily designed with looks in mind, more aerodynamics.
we'll just have to wait and see it in person to make a final judgement but as of right now i would say
ITS UGLY and THIS IS WHY MY BIKE IS BETTER!
not too big of a fan of the headlights not following the body's lines, but I LOVE the two color scheme: all of the metal parts like the swingarms and rearsets are powdercoated black and everything in the back/sides of the bike is CLEAN. No junk hanging anywhere like useless fenders or guards, it looks like it'd be super sleak just by throwing out that rear fender. I like that. But the nose looks a bit swollen IMO and needs some vectoring, not bubbling. The front edges near the forks remind me of the 05-06 600rr's sort of 'toothiness' if that makes any sense.
I call dibs on the first one wrecked by a squid. I bet it'd be a fun track bike!

this was actually the bike I wanted at first, until I found the R6. Plus even now seeing it in person I was not impressed.
