And they fucked up bigtime with the 6R and 650R.

well you like the buel... no accounting for taste....

naw... the front of the ZX10R and now the ZX6R are now by far the ugliest bikes yet.

the 650R doesn't look BAD... but it reminds you of the ZX6 and 10... and subsequently induces acid reflux

Exactly- lame. They kept the rounded tank and frame and everything and slapped on ZX10R bodywork. The 250 looks much better IMO, because it was a ground up redesign. Everything matches there. The blurb mentions new gauges- which I'm sure is another squidly concession to the brats that bought a 650 and wanted a supersport.

I love Kawi's smooth, flowing lines. Now they have the same old origami shit as Yamaha and everyone else. At least Honda is going back toward smooth.

Bad shot of the new 650s dash- no fucking thank you. Love my analogs.

see I'd have to test that at night... my eyes may not like that color... damn astigmatism... I saw Kat's though... her 600RR wasn't bad and I think that's Orangeish red

Mr Lefty · 09-21-2008, 11:12 AM

Oh GOD they made the ZX6R just as ugly as it's mother!

fucking-A Kawi! are you TRYING to not sell bikes?

Mr Lefty · 09-25-2008, 05:00 PM

wonder if Suzy will bring this to the states... it's based on the SV650... but aimed at the novice rider

That's hot, they went back to the good looking SV curvy frame instead of the angular ugliness.
