I am just glad that the 'under-seat exhaust fad' seems to have had its day......
I wonder what sort of hp figures they are going to be looking at with this model ? Won't be long now, and OEM 1-litre bikes will be >200hp.....

According to the article, peak revs and hp will be similar to a screamer, maybe slighter more. It may even come close to the beamer

i'll be alot happier when we see an actual kawasaki designed 2011. I'm getting tired of being teased with photochopped images.

Never. Give in to the beauty of the undertail zorst my friend. I know you secretly want one!
Between this, and Rapid's "***look - an R8***, just kidding, but if they *did* make one, it *might* look like this" bullshit, I'm ready to cancel subscriptions and just get a knitting magazine or something. Shits me to tears.

Not many colourbond moments going on.
I read the article..... Thing that sparked my interest was the crank going 540 degrees between firing, with an electric motor maintaining momentum

wow

at low revs. Higher in the rev range it maintains itself

that entire concept is one of the strangest things I have ever seen in a bike motor. Apart from those ridiculous motors with valves that need 2 control arms ...
but seriously - an electric motor to maintain momentum ?? and 540deg between firing strokes......I will be lining up at the local dealer for a test-fang on one of these as soon as it is released. It will be the biggest bang I get this year probably
