ABS?

Yep, well spotted that man! Looks like it's only for the front though.

Also of note is the dash....it is so similar to the dash of a ZX6R J1 it hurts!

(wonder if I can retrofit it

)

And finally, the speedo pick-up is off the rear wheel which of course means the sprocket changes will not effect the reading

Is that what the extra square perforated disk on the RHS of the front wheel is for?

I like it btw...

looks a shite load better than the gs500 & sv650 - two of its competitors.

where are the pics of the single cylinder sportsbike we've heard rumours about

Hell yeah, now THAT sounds good. I hope they come in at a decent price. I also hope that they are fully sports orientated, and superlight.

Whats the seat height ?, if its under 790mm They will sell Shitloads of them imho.
Nova the Yanks get Ninja stickers on everything mate including the ZZR's & GPX250

.

I know of at least 5 people that were considering Fukati monter 600's purely for " a low seat height with a little mambo". I remember asking why Kwaka didnt have such a bike last year & now they do. How cool is that, now if only they could release the 03 ZX9R F2, Bored to 990(like the Muzzy Kit) with z1000 injection & a 17/200/55 on the back as a ZZR1000R, then i would have a bike to look at upgrading too. Hint Hint Mr Kwikasaki Sir.
