Is that a twin piper there or single?

It looks like they've grabbed the latest model Yamaha FZ-1 muffler and stretched it.

Apart from that, it does look great.

Yep, I like that too, except for the mortar launcher on the side. That would definitely have to go and a Yoshi or Muzzy replacement from day one eh? :)

Damn, I bet you could cover some miles on that thing. The exhaust does detract somewhat from the overall package though.

the muffler looks like they expect it to get replaced as soon as the bike is sold. Its a shame that noise regulation seems to be dictating so much of the exhaust design lately.
I like the bike though.

I think you might find things like Euro 3 emmission regs are making some of the designs ugly as they incorperate cats etc in them as well

Is it just me or does that' undressed' picture scream "make me into a crazy custom chopper thing"

I reckon it would look badass

Being a curent GTR1000 owner this really interests me. The big exhaust is my only concern. It's a 4 into 1. Otherwise what a beauty!

Man, that's got some awesome features. Nifty promo vids.

They never showed the side with the bazooka on it though :)

That rocket launcher would have to go and then I think the bike would be awesome. Minus the side shopping trolleys though.

Sheer fucking porn!! I want one. Wicked promo vid; that alone has sold me!

About time Kawasaki coming out with something like this. I love my ZZR11 but its getting long in the tooth (actually thats me as well but hey....) Time to move up into something a little more comfortable. hard luggage looks good, hope theres an intergrated topbox to come with it. The muffler's neither here or there for me.

This bike looks awesome. Lookout Honda and BMW.....

Foo! That has to be serious mile eater. The closest competition would have to be that 4 cylinder BMW thing. They definitely got the exhaust can wrong...should be pink flouro.:yes:

Wonder if one becomes disconnected if they will implement a life call!?

Chuck a cell phone in the thing you can off and you and your fob move away from the bike it gives a few warning beeps before calling an accident centre who try your cell before advising emergency services of your location(gps)...... well thats what I would put on it.

Don't forget the ST1300 or the FJR1300.

I've never ridden any of them so I haven't got a clue.:confused: I'm buggered if Ill let that stop me making an arse of myself though.:spudbn:
It would seem that the ST and FJR are legendary mile-vaporisors, but the Beemer and Kwaka have the scent of a new thing with the promise of exotic specialness, or the gloss of the cutting edge. Probly cost more too.:spudgrr:

Wouldn't that be a deceased GTR1000 with an insurance cheque waiting to be cashed.....

Looks like a pretty comfortable way to get to light speed.
