2006 Kawasakis unveiled
Kawasaki’s ZX-10R will be faster and smaller for 2006 with a host of changes that make it a genuinely new bike.
Read the full and exclusive details and see more pictures, only in MCN – out on Wednesday, August 31.
The new bike features:
* New chassis
* New styling
* Underseat pipes
… and it’s claimed to be easier to ride.
The new ZZ-R1300 is thought to be slightly delayed, though prototypes are due to be shown next month with production following in Spring 2006.
And there’s a new faired version of the 650cc ER-6n twin, called the ER-6f (see picture, right). It is expected to cost less than £5000. Read full details and tech spec in MCN – out on Wednesday August 31.

You'd kind of think they wouldn't bother with a zzr with that in their line up... 
I rode the ER5 the other day...not sure if I can go back to a twin now...haveta see how it goes on a test ride I think

Id assume putting fairings on the ER6 - and selling it in america as a ninja
would mean the end of the zzr600.. then again if they're goign to release the zzr1300 - maybe they'll keep it - as people who dont want the size/power but want the 'this bikes daddy eats blackbirds for breakfast' etc

The GPX250R sells in the US as a Ninja 250R, so I wouldn't be surprised

It will be known as the "Ninja 650R"

I think the zzr600's demise will come about from both the ER6 and the Z750s which is currently available in Europe and the US

ZZR600

Saw a new ZZR600 in the States when I was there recently. It was a ZX6R from a few years back, with a nice dark blue paint job.
The dealer said they were selling quite well there!
Cheers,
Pete
