06 R6 and 06 ZX10R

[Madmax]

i fuckin hate under seat pipes

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

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....

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.

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!!

[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

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.

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

Correct me if I'm wrong thou

[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.

[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.
