    Maybe I should hold off on that ZX6-R

    I am aware that is is just someones own sketch and will look nothing like this if it is made. I was merely sharing. I too think the pic looks a bit gay.

    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Wishful thinking

    Stop getting our hopes up. A ZX750-800cc sports bike would be awesome.
    They stated that it's only their artists impression of what one might look like so why are you all getting upset at the looks? Pointless.

    A proper zx8r would seriously tempt me back onto a sportsbike.

    Sorry but the front it looks very similar to the new Ducati motoGP replica $100,000 thingy & everyone thinks that looks good
    If you're not living on the edge you're not leaning over far enough

    I was more intereted in the article below it. Looking forward to seeing that new Aprilia V4 (which WILL be coming out, as opposed to that kwaka that probably wont), and its good to see the new Tuono Factory. Shame they havent sorted out the ugly headlight arrangement on it, it's the one bit of styling in the Aprilia range that isnt up to scratch IMO.

    We hope Kawasaki will launch an 800
    somehow I don't think Kawa do stuff on the wish of a website..

    But a lot of people have been saying their fav brand will be dishing out an 800cc bike for a while.. and some probably will.. just wouldn't hold me breath
