Is that the real thing?I shoulda payed more attention in french at school.I could live with that in a different colour.

[Pumba]

I never did frence at school either, thank you for google translator

translated version

[YellowDog]

Here is the summary (in English):
- 1200cm3 triple engine
- probably around 140hp
- engine becomes thinner, hence a more forward/lower position (better center of gravity)
- lower and slightly longer seat
- the double headlight won't be round anymore (more elliptic), with a cap on top (?)
- new dashboard
- single low exhaust (argh! blasphemy!)
- alloy frame akin to the Daytona
- new wheels
- ABS

I farkin like it, though I understand that is just an artists impression.

Not that I can read French but I know what I like and that is kinda hot, would love it in a nice shiny red.

Righto magpies. any of you with a nice '08 model .... any colour besides black (matt is ok) ,

time to sell up .... to me

1050 is just not enough you know

Looks to me what the Kawasaki Z750 and Z1000 should still look like (before they let some latte drinking beret wearing conceptual artist start doing the designs).

I like.

Looks good to me - updated and fresh but still the S triple.

Love it.

Just need to get rid of the tacky looking footpegs and make that seat like the 08 jobbies. Buell style exhaust, no windscreen and it will be pucker mate.

[yod]

so are they dropping that 1200 triple into a sports chassis and having a crack at SBK?

go on, do it...you know you want to....

Nice looking bike.

get rid of the chrome mirrors and she'll be a winner.

Noice. Why they insist on that dufus fly screen thing is beyond me.

The whole essence of the speedy is what it isn't. No unnecessary crapola. And they stick a bit of weird shaped tupperware over the instruments.

[Grubber]

Hmmmm....think i might be liking this.
Bit of a growler by the looks. Would be nice if they did that motor in a Daytona. Ya just never know!

If you were bald, would you go outside without a hat?

Anyway, I'll believe this new one when I see it. Too many disguised old parts and no pillion provision would suggest this isn't real.

That's a massive radiator isn't it?

mmm some clip on's or lower bars would look better
