noticed a lot more changes with those pics...

different frame covers etc.. different rearsets, cans (easy to notice) radiator shrouds with indicators, rear end (05/06 zx6r??)
different mirrors, petal rotors, radial calipers... engine layout looks a bit different too...

hmm i like a few things actually..no regrets tho, its gunna be a year or 2 until u can get aftermarket shit neway...

I'm really keen to see how much the instrument panel will cost, and hope it is a easy swap to my bike :P

I'll have to keep looking at it before I form a solid opinion, hopefully it's like one of those songs that annoys you for a few weeks then all of a sudden it starts to sound good and ends up becoming a fav.

Then again maybe I'll just think it looks shit forever.

Having to comply with emissions regs. is really killing the looks of some of the new bikes coming out, butt ugly 'zorst systems.
Great aftermarket opportunities await.
