because it does.

just because your a fan of a manufacturer doesn't mean that you have to whore your enthusiasm out and like everything they make.

i.e. Although they can appreciate that others may like them i dont see the majority of the guys&gals on this forum going out and buying a sherpa or a vulcan.

No, it doesnt.

I personally like the ZX10 over this. Looks kinda alienish with those lenses.

Come's down to personal taste.

Blue looks nice...

But i couldn't live with the shame of owning an R1...

that is one awful bike. Never liked the new R1's. I recon they look too busy and this one is uglier than the replacement....

My opinion not a fan of floating fairings but the are growing on me

, but the seat-tank area looks too lean Jenny Craig style.

Looks fast but then again it's suposed to.

Overall

i wouldn't b upset if someone gave me one! i wouldn't buy one tho!!

I saw the latest R6 in the shop just a few days ago.... before reading this post...

I commented at the time to my wife how crap the bolt on side bits look..... Specially on the completely black model.... The rest of the bike is gloss black, the bolt-on is matt black.... Looks like an afterthought.... If I got given one, i would get the bolt-on panels painted gloss black, and change the chrome nuts to black to hide the fact ....

floating plastics, mmm it'd take time to get used to them, but i prefer them to the george foreman grill on the side of the 14.

or on the side of your RF ....

Looks alright, although it's an R1 so just like arseholes everyone will have one.

I much prefer the look of the 04/05 10's

I was in RaceRep during the week to get a oil filter and they had a 2006
zx10r in yellow on show and its nice even the head lights have grown on me the more I see of the 06 the better it looks.

now if it was green or black

and one nice z1000 in there too

Go and ride one but wear a dark visor( ya dont want a ksrc member to recognize you), funny how if a bike goes like a shower of shit, it suddenly looks better.
I like it
