Yup....Don't know about the yellow. Looks a little too Rossi for the average Kwaka punter I would've thought but then we'll have to see it in the flesh i guess.

Even Kawasaki get it wrong...

The non ltd edition black has red wheels and forks also.
Got two of them on the floor and took one for a spin this afternoon. Thougth the speedo was broken, then realised that it was in MPH..
Yes, I'm THAT stupid.
They're not white stickers, they're chrome.

Kawasaki have 'got it wrong' with the looks of the six for a long time now I reckon. Apart from the die hard Green addicts, which will always sell, the colors and graphics (if there have been any) have sucked ass imho. Single color, little or no graphics, look like a Hyosung!

I am of the oposite opinion re colours. I have always liked the solid colours rather than the boy racer graphics and those wanker flame jobs. And as far as looks go I still rate the 05-06 6 as one of the best bikes ever made looks wise. The current one is a good looking bike too. Tiny! But those red forks on the black one just ruin it and the YELLOW!!! is a bit off!! :shock:

Im with you strika i think solid colours looks heaps cleaner, wat were they thinking with that special edition it looks retarded.
