Pretty out there, but it'll probably grow on me. At least it's different, glad Kawa is chasing some aggressive styling.

Yeah kinda like a cheap ass z750. No doubt aimed at the Buell, SV650, MT01 etc etc end of the market.

I haven't done French since Year 11, so I didn't understand a word of that article. Does anyone know if that's anything more than an artist's wannabe?

I'm not sure whether I like it or not. It's certainly 'unusual'. I do like the colour, and although it looks like a Japanese Buell, I'm not sure that's a good thing.

mix both together and you might get something legible.

I gotta say, I reckon that's one sweeeet looking piece of machinery! I havea heap of other pics of it here, but since I can't post them, you'll all just have to suffer i nyour jocks.

It looks awesome in green and black.

Aparently it's a 650cc parallel twin.

Where do I sign?

Have you guys seen the stripped down CBR 1000RR naked in the latest AMCN? supposedly Yamaha is going to hit back with a naked "R1" so wonder what Kwaka has installed.

I am personally standing by for the 06 Z1000, might be lucky and it will be a naked ZX10R. Sweeeeeet. Not that I will be able to buy it but gotta have something to drool over.

'Bout time they took the Sv650 head on. Anyone able to Get a seat height for it ?. Could be the key to them selling a lot or a little.
Personally i think its as "Ugly as a hat full of clackers", but so are most of the new Nakeds so I'm sure it'll grow on me.

Looks more like a superduke to me but its probably just the headlights and its being aimed at europe.

Would be worth a test ride if the actual bike still looks like the concept picture by the time they release it.

Looks like a rip-off of the Benelli TNT. Just like the FZ6 Yamaha is a rip off of the MV Agusta Brutale.

The Japanese are great imitators.
