love that rear hugger and the graphics. Redesign the front head light to something that looks like it belongs in this era and it would be awesome.

(and i dont mean the 08 10r headlight setup)

looks great but for some reason i cant see it happening. Sadly Kawa are always slow on the development side..
There was whispers of a Kawasaki Scooter a while ago too.. I'm hanging for one of those so I can get the missus off the Yamaha and onto a green machine :)

This has to be about the 400th time this rumour has done the rounds.

it be worth their while....something to compete with the gixxer 750 and the new 848..... all they need is to bring back the 12 and the lineup could be

ZX6R
ZX8R
ZX10R
ZX12R
ZX14R

maybe im just pedantic but i like the flow of that motorcycle lineup.... ;)

oh and i suppose u could add the ZX2R and then maybe they could release i lightweight ZX4R screamer..... now im really dreaming.....

If they remade the ZX4R but sold it here, maybe even as a race ready model and was 4 cyl would be quite alot of fun!

As far that ZX8R goes, its clear as day thats photochop! Would be nice tho 800cc Ninja! I would buy one over a GSXR750 and would prob sell better also!

Still want a ZX10R tho!!!! WOOT

oh yeah its definitely photoshop..... u can see it on the seat.....

from the looks of it they've taken the front light off a 08 250 ninja, which i think is similar to one of the Z model's headlight..... also the air scoops outside the lights are straight off the old ZXR750........

good photo-shopping skills :P

yep I realise that this is chopped big time. Just never heard of a 800cc being made. By the looks of the comments , it's not goin to either.
A kawaka with an ohlins front end and Brembo brakes......I agree... not likely.
Just wanted to find out more info, just in case somebody new more about this than I did.

Nothing to see here....

I reckon a ZX8R would sell better than the GSXR750. I spose problem then is, do you do a 6 or an 8 or an 8 or a 10!! too many choices then, atm you either have a 2,6,10 or 14!

All go up in 4's

and why would they stop selling the 600, its the most competitive market worldwide. They just need to up the ante and get some good riders on it and get to the front of race classes around the world - not just America.
