Still ugly though.

Tuning potential must be huge, because 210 ponies is quite achievable without forced induction. And 233 kilos is a bit porky isn't it?

As a road bike, I'll pass.

Those wings on the front?

...makes you wonder what effect they will have when you pop the front end at speed! (flippy flippy??)


I'd still hump it! (its SUPERCHARGED! ...but screw "paying" for one lol)

[unstuck]

Are there any bikes you wouldn't hump willy?

[EJK]

238kgs fully loaded? Seems a bit on the heavy side. Still, I wouldn't mind riding one.

[nodrog:Me]

Choice, bolt one in your chair drew.

[bogan]

That's fucking cool, proper use of exposed carbon fiber too, gauche as fuck and supposed to be.

Best nobody ever let doug ride one then...

[TheDemonLord]

It looks like a HammerHead Shark

And that looks fucking Smexy!

I'd get my leg over one (and then smear myself across the road)

Yup...Yours!

So it's 40kg heavier than a ZX10 for an extra ~10hp? Not much point to it if you want to keep the warranty.

Lol. When was the last time you, A: Had something positive to say about a new motorcycle, or B: Was in the market for a new motorcycle?

A supercharger does little for top line.
Acceleration is the benefit from a supercharger.


Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

You're right. I sure as shit wouldn't turn down a go on one.

But it's also funny that the article is gushing over it's sub 2.5 second 0-100 time. Pretty sure bikes cracked that 20 years ago. Without traction control.

You seem to be holding a lot of tension in your shoulders. Just try to relax.

I will admit that progress in a manner that would turn me on has been average since 2005. But what precisely is wrong with that. 'Styling' has been the focus as far as I can tell. The technology is there to make an infinitely better bike than anything on the market. Why isn't anyone doing it? Instead Kawasaki make a fucken heavy not particularly powerful bike with 70 year old technology, then try making it sound new by ceramic coating it and waking about it having spaceship technology in it.

In the market for a new bike? Love being reminded I'm poor white trash, cheers. Things on the poor front are changing though, so who knows when the market might find me waste deep. Nothing current does it for me though, so K6 gixxer is likely what I'd go for.
