2009 Kawasaki Ninja 650R
 

So I had noticed the redesign when I went to check out Kawasaki's new lineup a month ago, but I seemed to forget about it because I was a bit dissapointed about what they had done to the new 6R..

What do you all think?? I think its nice looking, but i wish they would have redesigned the back with the front... it just seems out of place being carried over. The Europe model did get a new seat and tail section which looks a bunch better.... but I cant get any pics...

it looks better than the 6r thats for sure

Not bad for a street bike but for the track I'd still rather have a SV cause there are more parts at the tracks when you need them. Plus I like the rising rate linkag on the SV better than the no linkage on the Kawi.

But yeah I'd ride it.

What do I think? BARF! :panic: FUGLY
It's just another cheesegrater copycat now. :td:
And when you see the dash, it's horrible. Gigantic fuel gauge- bigger than the tach or speedo.

I like it. It looks like a good commuter and might be a nice basis for a throw together sport touring rig with some soft bags, and maybe a tank bag.

What is meant by cheesegrater copycat... because it doesnt really look like any other bike in the mid range... Because they went from 1 headlight to 2... and they put modern bits on it???

Need to see the dash now...

The banana seat just isn't working with the rest of the lines on the bike, IMO.

They have a streetfighter version now that looks pretty badass...

Nah, the headlight is kinda fucked up on that ER-6N...

If only it had the headlight from the Z1000.... then we'd talk!

the tail is the 650R's undoing honestly. I'm quite sure the gauges look like shit too. from the front its a nice lookin bike, but thats about it.
