Looks like everyone stuck on the current model at the back of the WSBK pack could be rewarded next year with one of these.

It'll be ok for a while then rumours of the 2012 ZX10R will start circulating and it'll be sooo uncool to still be on a 2011 model that you'll barely show you're face on the street until you can mortgage your soul for the 2012 model then you'll have cred once more until rumours of the 2013 ZX10R start circulating........... :lol: The joys of sportsbikes.

They haven't shown a road going one yet, that one is definately the race version. I assume the road one will be dumbed down, ie different piston callipers, pifferent exhaust, not carbon fibre etc etc

I think it looks pretty good. Certainly looks small.

If they have followed the developement of the ZX6r they will be AWESOME - the 08 ZX6 vs the new one is such a difference - as a stock bike they are leaps ahead of where they were. Also as a stock 6 it keeps up with a GSXR750... we haven't even changed the gearing! std pipe and everything!

Kawaka may have found the groove again - question is will any jap bike get near the BMW?

go team green......

Sounds like all the VVT, big bang, electric motor, kers etc etc ideas are squashed?

With the required weight increase to run a KER system, one would think its hardly worth it? Would be cool though to hit a straight and tap into some extra hp.
