Hi guys

I've been told by my local Kawasaki dealer to expect the ZX10R on the floor in late February, has anyone else heard different?

Also, when are the ZX14s supposed to land... I get the impression they're a fair bit further away.

Dont know bout the 10 but the 14 is meant to be mid Feb so Whales say.

I have been told to expect April or May

Pfffffft.... the ER6F was supposed to be here in March... but visit a dealer and you will see them sitting there....

Got told that the 06 10R wont be in the shops for adlest 4 weeks

So you waiting for the new 14 to arrive then Hammer?

I reckon he is and it isnt to get a 14.

i got told by melb dealers that the 10r is due late jan, early Feb

Is there a difference between the 05 and the 06 ZX10R?

Yeah I will be test riding one to see if it is as good as there sayin........ Lighter than a 12 with more power bout the same ground clearance and comfy. Could be interesting or if not maybe be a good time to pick up a cheap 12 that so many ppl will trade on em.
Test ride will tell

yeah twin underseat zorsts, diff swingarm, whole heap of different engine mods to meet standards with same power... different fairings (nose / lights) etc.

Should be better than that thing, with the Astron 1600 motor, you're riding now ...

Ah.... so it looks more like the ZX6R.....

I keep telling ppl that the 10 is just a big six

Hey smart ass, i need somethin to tow the Jayco

Took a late '04 ZX10R for a run... I like.

In every respect it feels better than the ZX6R (636) and you know what, I reckon once I decide between the '04/'05 and '06 models (waiting to see in the flesh before shitcanning it) I'll have one in the garage.

Keeping in mind the $5k price difference and the fact that the early ones look better in pics, I'd say they're winning hands down at this stage.

For those wanting to know the difference, pics of the '06 model... looks much better side-on in the titanium colour!
