ZX10R is ugly!

[kempy]

Is it just me or does anyone else find the current 10R just plain ugly?

I've loved the look of every 10R model to date except this one. It's on par with some of the shit Suzuki has put out in recent year.

The front end is a foul mish-mash of angles and the tail piece equally so. Even in race fairings this thing just looks horrendous.

Anyone else feel the same way?

I don't mind it, it was the Gumby that looked like a bag of arse. I still reckon the Crim is the best looking of the 10's but I'm biased

I dont mind the look, saw a nice one at broady the other day.
04/05 was prob the best looking jigger.
And yer the 06/07 prob not the best looking, and ive got a 07

It is only skin deep, look past that and you see the inner beauty of the technology.

I often look at it while sitting out in the shed enjoying a few brews and is always entertaining to the eye and mind, I wouldnt say ugly but it is very different to everything else out there except a TE511

It is a bit like an unatractive looking partner, who looks at the mantle piece when your stoking the fire, it will cost you to update, has to be a great ride to keep swingin a leg over and looks better with more beer

What the hell are you talking about..??

This bike looks awesome.. fantastic evil looking front and a real tidy rear end...

Fantastic technology and power to spare...

Nothing at the track looks anywhere near as hot as this bike..!!

You have to move up to the 21st century.. it is a modern looking bike that is for sure...

They're bloody beautiful, if I had the money I'd have one in a flash!

haha sorry but I've got to say it makes me cringe to see the KRT guys in WSBK ride these things.

Maybe I've just got a warped sense of style. My favourite of the ZX10R series has got to be the 06/07. At least when you get rid of the standard pipes (and guards) and put twin akras/yoshis up there.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
For sure the stock pipes on the 06/07 look crap, thats why the very 1st thing i changed on mine.
I had a nice set of custom made ones, and its still the only 07 ive seen with this pipe setup.
And they were made here in melbourne, and dont give away any power to those more exp brands.

Sure is, didnt like the look of mine so I have fitted new race glass in readyness for the KSRC PI dbl header trackdays

I reckon its an improvement, what do you think?

wow very nice once all the crap comes off like the mirrors and blinkers.

I like the look of the new one better than the 08-09, I also like 04-05. The 06 07 is an aquired taste, I like how it is sleek with integrated blinkers and smoothe lines. I dont know why they started putting the indicators on the shaft of the mirrors.
