Ok im going to break with tradition and NOT bag the look of the new model.

I think it looks allright, I would probably also prefer a side sitting exhaust, but the fact is all manurfacturers are heading down the unders seat route.

If Kawasaki want to sell bikes they have got to keep up with the Jones. Also their motoGP aspirations probably drive a lot of the design.

This is a bike that I would buy.

I bet you are mate - better HP / handling is one thing, but its still gotta look good.......for my money they are just jumping on the Yammie bandwagon with double underseat zorsts. They just look big fat and ugly.

I would bet that the big K are still having problems with fitting a tuned length zorst and cat into the spot immediately under the motor, in order to have a side-mount zorst - of course this is no problem for a WSB bike, but they don't need to meet emission standards :cry:

cheers :D

1. just thought i'd stir the pot a bit. :)
2. apart from the ugly fender, i reckon the arse end looks tough and stylish at the same time.
3. Imagine replace those big cans with a nice pair of yoshis or the like.
4. I like things that are a bit different.
5. Performance really is more important to me than looks.

05 owners will be happy, their bike just doubled in value.

The exhaust I could live with, but the headlights are just wrong. It's making me embarased to own a kwaka.

I gotta say im probably going to buy one.
I like the front end, will look best in black i reckon)
and it doesnt take alot to change the exhausts.
maybe a oval can kinda like the current 636...

time to drag out photoshop, watch this space.

I am tempted to trade in my 05 636 on one of those. It looks like my ZX636 on roids :lol:

I like the look of it, but too small for my liking. I don't really like the look of the 05's and I've never liked the arsehole exhaust. ymmv

Even MCNews has it on their website. I guess the sucker is real. I'll reserve judgement on how it looks until I actually get to see one in the flesh, but at the moment, I can't stop thinking about how atrocious those headlights look in the photos.

I can see the exhaust manufacturers having a hoot with the underseat exhaust. But cool cans aint gonna make that front end look any better.

Having said that, how good does it look in black?
