Quote from website:

"According to MotoRevue, Kawasaki plans to revamp their Z 1000 streetfighter, which will be soon presented.

The bike is supposed to be powered by the latest ZX-10R engine, replacing the one developed from the much older ZX-9R. The extra horsepower and torque sure has to be celebrated with a radical, even sharper design and this rendering by Jérôme Vannesson shows just how the next generation model might look. We can only hope it will do so."

At last a detuned ZX10 engine hopefully makes it's way into a zeddy.....I hope that's what it looks like.

Love the pipe style, fits it perfectly!

Whilst I can't see an aftermarket improving the look, somehow I don't think that would stop people :roll:

Yeah I know, there's always sound and power, and you don't "see" the bike when you ride it ;)

That does look pretty hot! Will be interesting to see how closely this pic is to the real deal. You could at least live with the stock pipe for a while as opposed to the one on the 08-09 10...

I dunno whether they will get all the gubbins between the headers and end can, I just can't really see the average manufacturer producing a bike with a sexy stock exhaust anymore, with all the regulations around.
If a generation 3 Zeddy did look like that it would surely increase the sales of what is already a damn fine looking naked.
If they make em too good though, how will all the aftermarket guys benefit?? :D :D
