I must be the only person who thinks it looks like an R6 on steroids.

I do like it, but reserve final judgement until I see one in person.

Wow...nice bike and nice posting acalliste. The looks are killer...but you lost me with the BFP crap. It is good...but just expensive to replace because the whole guts have to be removed from the front end.

I'm just saying if you want to upgrade your suspension it is gonna cost more. Same thing with under tail exhaust. It only sucks if you are replacing it.

BTW...accoriding to one suspension guru..the BPF is only good under braking. All other times it is lack luster, esp. coming out of the corner because it likes to stand up quick making for a easy highside. I've had this happen a few times on my 09 6R.

I don't get how Kawi is able to come out with new models and new tech quicker than the others, when their prices are usually the lowest. They must be using sportbikes as a loss-leader and making up for it with higher prices on the other stuff they manufacture.

Doesn't look like the US is getting it. I don't have it in the info I was given on the new models.

I found it on the UK website though: http://www.kawasaki.co.uk/W800

Remember how kawi used to work? Build a solid popular model and keep it unchanged for twenty years along side the two year stuff?
