[SPORK]

:eek: strange new world we're going into...
...If by 'strange', you mean 'DAMN SEXY', then I guess ya right!

[Coyote]

Bloody awesome :2thumbsup

I don't think those exhaust look ugly at all. The ZXR looks like theres 2 cannons in the back. Might get the cagers backing off

[Quasievil]

WHAT ABOUT THE LIMITED EDITION R1

[gav]

Quote "Yamaha M1 S. This is our estimates: -Price: at least 60.000 Euros (based on what Ducati demands for their V4 Desmocedici) -Weight: we estimate between 160-175kg depending on how much extra weight a street legal exhaust system and headlamps puts on the bike. -The radial brakes might not be the Brembo's on a final version, but they must outperform the current Summimoto's. -For such an asking price we expect carbon or other super lightweight material in the fairing. -The air intakes and the most powerful Yamaha in line four ever should easily achieve the 300 km/h (180mph) mark -The engine should get at least 185-190 Bhp or more and 990cc. -Expect less torque than a V4, but still more than all current 1 litre bikes. -Top of the range suspension. -Chassis virtually the same as Rossi's M1. -The most extreme in line four ever to have been made street legal. -Highly limited edition of only 50 bikes (based on it being made for Yamaha's 50th anniversary). The bike might get a name in the line of R1 RR, R9 or R1 SP when launched for the press in September.

ITS WHAT? I THOUGHT IT WAS R1 BASED , HOW COOL

[SuperDave]

Those look really awesome. I must say that the ZX-10r seems to be modelling its tail after the Aprilia...

[SPORK]

R1 YUM, YAMAHA BEEN MAKIN PURTY BIKES
Hey Winja, don't ya think that looks like a cross between an R1 and a Benelli TNT? Ya can't trust everything ya see these days though, some people are mighty fine with photoshop...

But anyway, when are the K6 bikes going to be officially released?

[loosebruce]

The R6 is cool, kinda old skool R1 meets new skool RSV, rear end is trick and the exhaust, nice to see someone trying to different, like suzuki as well. Cool, but needs a tidy up on the lines of the muffler.
The ZX10R, what the fuck is that, they gone well fucken backwards, i couldnt give a shit if it was making 220bhp (maybe), it's fucken ugly and doesn't look the hard core sports bike from the Big K, old ZX10R please.
The new R1 WINJA posted, hmmmm rest of it's cool till you get to the front end, still undecided, will grow on me though me thinks.

[Madmax]

i fuckin hate under seat pipes
:puke:

[N4CR]

Hmm.... as loosebruce said - it will grow on you. My initial thaughts are 'what the fuck are the japs doing' but I do like the black bits on the 10r.

R1 looks cool untill the front - needs more meat on it. I'm sure with a body kit on the R1 and the 10r they would turn out decent. R6 is quite nice, but again what the fuck are they doing to the exhaust.... I'm sure someone will go nuts and break the cans off them or something :devil2:

[Nutter34]

It looks like we have two camps here... The ones who like the undertails of the ZX10 and the ones who like the R6.... I'll go with the R6 thanks. That 10 is fugly! It doesn't even look like they tried to hide or integrate the pipe....... just stuck on, it is....
The R1.... Well, that doesn't look right either.....

As they say.... You can only please some people some of the time, not everybody all of the time....

[Waylander]

Fuck Yamaha has some wicked new versions comming out!! The new R6 looks more mean and has a more agressive stance. Can't wait to see what Firefight thinks of it.


The blue R1 Winja posted also looks wicked. Kinda streetfighter kinda not. Just love the hard edge lines to it.


As for that ZX10R... Nah just seems to have gone soft at the front. And those pipes look like a pigs snout in my opinion.

[spudchucka]

I really like that R6.

[enigma51]

R6 very nice
Kwaka alright
R1 What the fuck are they thinking
M1 (R1 limited thingy) Nice idea shit colors

[Racey Rider]

My thoughts:

Don't like the rear of the R6 at all! Better without the indicator/ reg plate & spar clutter,,
but still looks like a pregnant Duck!
and whats happening with that muffler??
But good on them for trying something new.

Don't like wavey disks on the ZX10. (edit. been around for a while I know). Do like some underseat exhausts, but not those ones. too far out on the sides. A tip for the japs,, just put Ducati 916 exhausts on your bike and everyone will buy them. :dodge:

R1 would be my pick. It's a little bit dark though. I would paint the rear wheel blue as well. When I first saw the new headlight I wondered if it was a good choise. But it's grown on me already, and I think it adds to the mean look.


Bring them on!! :Punk:

[bugjuice]

RR, those discs are on the current ZX10s, and have been for a while, and the 05 ZX6s took them on too..
those headlights put me off a bit, and I'm sure that's a good PS job..

[Racey Rider]

yes i know they've been around for a while, just commenting that I don't like wavey disk in general on any road bike.

[Jonty]

mmm that R1 Sp looks like it has flogged the indicators off the Gixxer. I think I am leaning toward the ZX10 :Punk:

Try 250bhp - is this a pic of motogp.com. Rossi used it at Laguna Seca.

Correct me if I'm wrong thou :dodge:

[mattt]

Or is it this one... Either way - I want it!

[enigma51]

Or is it this one... Either way - I want it!
O wuold love one of those but the other one the lights look wrong and the indicators blah blah blah

The more I look at the new R1 the more I hate it it fucking ugly. :dodge:

[James Deuce]

That R6 is freaking special. Hmmm...2007 I should be able to get one of those sweeties.

[Brett]

The R6 is an improvement on the current models, but that R1 has left home and decided to never come bace. Not cool.
The ZX10r has definitely declined. The 05 bike looks much much better.
Interested to see what the 06 Kawa 636 will look like.

[Sparky Bills]

Them all purty!!
LOVE THE R6.
I think the R1 would grow on me.

[WINJA]

ITS CAUSE FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION AND WHAT MIGHT NOT LOOK RIGHT GOES RIGHT , IE THAT K5 GSXR1000 EXHAUST MAKES SENSE WHEN THE BIKE IS BANKED HARD RIGHT IT DOESNT DIG IN AND SCRAPE THE GROUND LIKE SO MANY BIKES IVE RIDDEN, THE K5 EXHAUST IS A COPY OF THE YOSHI JAPAN ENDURANCE RACER MUFFLER

[justsomeguy]

R6 WOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully by the time I'm good enough to ride one I'll be able to afford it.

The Kwaka has really faka'd it - hate the bloody sports tourer type look- as ol bruce says they've gone backwards.

That R6 is straight from some playstation fantasy. Me weallly weally want one!!!!!!!!!!!

[Brains]

Doh!! Did you actually read any of what I posted and you quoted?? FFS, read it again, Yamaha are rumoured to be releasing a special M1 road bike, got that? ROAD bike, not a bloody GP bike.....

Oh, was that you? I heard mum and dad were leasing one of their apartments to a rentboy? Were you the one doing the half price pay in advance service? Mum was telling me that all your customers were linning up to get their deposits back.

Don't mess with me little rat.

YEAH THAT WAS ME ALRIGHT , AND AFTER ALL THAT ACTION YOUR MUM STILL SUCKED ME OFF

[WINJA]

BUT IF SUZUKI ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE MUFFLER SCRAPING , WHY NOT PUT IT UNDER THE SEAT???? HMMM?????
I THINK ONE OF THEIR REASONS WERE TUNED LENGTH , AND THE OTHER WAS THE SHOCK GETTING HOT , WHY DID HONDA PUT A 16" FRONT WHEEL ON THEIR BLADES FROM 92 TO 99?

[Zed]

First look, red and white Yamaha R6 and the Kawi ZX10R.Attached are some spy-shots of the 2006 R6, I really think that rear bracket holding up the plastic guard looks cheap and horrid! And the mufler is disappointing too, boring...:shutup:

The ZX-10 mufflers suck the kumara big time - why do they do it?? One thing I appreciated about the '05 ZX-10 was its non-conformity to the undertail pipe, too bad they've blown it in '06!

[kawa10]

i dont know any more. this is a pic i was sent a couple of weeks ago of the new kawasaki. but i like the under seats more.

Ah, so it WILL have the crazy exhaust. Oh well, I'm sure it will grow on me, like the K5 GSX-R's did.

I had some roast kumara today, I really liked it. It's a nice taste between pumpkin and potato. :sherlock:

[Squiggles]

R1 YUM, YAMAHA BEEN MAKIN PURTY BIKES


it is the purtiest bike i has eva seen! :not: :not: :not:

[kawa10]

here is a link for a press release article. http://www.bikeland.org/board/viewthread.php?FID=19&TID=18743&set_time=
i love the black one. :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Sniper]

Nice, I disagree with underseat pipes

[SPORK]

I'm of two minds. On one hand I think it looks uglier than goatse, but on the other, it has a nice look to it, kinda.

Nahh, I'll stick with it being ugly.

[bugjuice]

ladies and gents - the ZX10R (http://www.kawasaki.co.uk/product.asp?Id=3400D20BEE0&Sub=1) from kawa's website

[Squiggles]

the black one is mint. i quite like the underseat pipes (probably based on the less to replace if u go for a slide principle)

[Nutter34]

The new R1 and R6, also FZ1 and FJR13............

Oh schwing!

The R6S is probably just for the people afraid of change... But seriously, they both look minter than a minite...

[bugjuice]

wtf..?? the R6, is the number plate an after-thought or something..?
were they admiring their efforts, then scratching their chin, saying 'nah, we forgot something.. it just doesn't look finished...'

oh yeah, the fukin number plate.. Let's make it double up as a wheelie bar then..
I give it around 2 hours of ownership before that's pulled off by new owners..

rest of it looks ok

[louisb]

A pdf from Motocycle.com

It's just over 1mb so modem people probably shouldn't click on it.

[White trash]

That new R6 is the first Yamashit I've ever seen and gone, "Wow!". Lose the horrible number plate bracket and you've got yourself onw horny bike.

Well done Yamaha. :clap:

[unhingedlizard]

Sorry have to have my two cents.

New R1 looks horny as ever.
Always wanted an R6 but loved the look of the R1 better. Not anymore. Dont like the exhaust but that is easily changed.
The ZX10R has gone backwardfs in look i reckon. Too jellymould. I love underseat pipes but those are ugly.

[SPORK]

Yuss!

For all you skeptics, here's a lovely 360 degree view of the new R6! Looks sexy as hell in black...

Only thing that needs modding is the exhaust. And is it just me, or does the intake remind you of an RSV's?

Just add another bike to the growing list of "I wants". That orange ZX10 looks brill but not that keen on the rear view of those pipes. Maybe they look better in the flesh. So I guess as usual we have to wait until the end of summer for these new beauties to reach our showrooms.
Anyone notice how Honda and Kawasaki have swapped positions for 2006 models on handling characteristics. The K have gone for less front wheel lift, more weight over the front and more stability which the Fireblade excels at. Honda on the other hand go for a shorter wheelbase steeper steering and a bit less weight to make it a bit more flightly.
Looking forward to seeing these new beasts. bring on the road tests to confuse the hell out of us.
