Real bravery is being afraid but doing it anyway.

Re: 2011 ZX10 released by Kawasaki!
Call me cynical, but does this sound like they are talking their way out of sacraficing bottom end for max power?
"By moving peak torque higher up in the rev range, torque valleys were almost completely eliminated."
"On the Next Ninja, all excess mid-range torque was cut. Our priority was to make it easy to open the throttle."

Re: 2011 ZX10 released by Kawasaki!
I found this the other day, thought it was a cool concept. I know the new ZX10R won't look like this but how awesome does it look?? It's a hybrid of 2010 ZX10R, 2010 Z1000, and a KTM RC8 tail. Looks hot!!!

Hmmm, the pic from the rear right side looks a bit crappy.. Not a fan of that tale..
Fronts not bad.
Dash looks good..

Re: 2011 ZX10 released by Kawasaki!
Not sure about that yet. At least those indicators are gone from halfway up the mirrors, i was never a fan of them.
Whats with the LED's above the intake at the front?? Is it so you can see exactly what types of bugs are going in there??
Also looks like the exhuast has been made a little more........little.
Cant wait to see some real pics.
