A Dave, unsure which one.. pos. #100 asked me to post these up for him.
looks like abit of a sneak peak of the 2006 ZZR1300...
Is it just me or does it look like they had a clay model of a ZZR and an R1 and banged the nosed together cause it looks like the R1 head lights got stuck to the ZZR..

2005 - Kawasaki has a great line up
2006 - Kawasaki loses the plot

And those side bits under the tank are very reminiscent of those ugly gills on the RF600/RF900's.
*shudder*

I'm gonna be the odd one out and say I kinda like it. I just went to the website and it now says:
"Update: we have been asked to remove these pictures, if not: lowyers, etc... Sorry."
Intersting....

I think that it looks horn.
compared to the 2005 efforts i think the big K have put alot of effort into making the bikes 'flow' better stylistcally and asthetically.

Hmmm... looked at it a couple of times now.
How much are they and where do I get one? I wonder if motards-online had to take it down because it IS the new bike, or because it just looks damn close to the new bike?

Interesting why they did that Jason.
Anyway I like it, as I have said before I do not like the latest single air scoops look or positioning, otherwise the rest of it is pretty good, I would like to see the spec's and details but they probably wont be announced until mid september?
Looks like BT014's on that thing, hopefully they have ditched the Dflops.

I think it's quite a nice exercise in styling, i think it flows very well from one area of the bike to another. The 6 headlights (yeah i know, two for parking, two for lowbeam, two for high) are a interesting way of doing it as well.

I quite like it but prefer the previous model.
Frankly I prefer Kawasaki to be trying new stuff even if some models go a bit wrong from time to time ('06 zx10r) rather than stagnating as they had been. I would just add the the model updates seem a bit too fast at the moment on some models (the zx6 & zx10). They could move on to other models in the lineup as they have with the er5.
