the exhaust ugliness is on a par with the K7 thou exhaust, but at least the pipe's of a more general look and its on the right side, rather than the horrendous twin pipes under the tail of the 06-07 model.

indicators are a bit... dodgy.. and i sure as hell dont like the headlights... it has that cross eyed look.

I don't mind the look actually and as for the pipes, yeah, the z's are way uglier than that.

There's nothing horrendous about the twin pipes on the 07, i love them 8)

I think pipes on the side are butt ugly :)

my 2 cents...

I'll reserve judgement on these for a while. I didn't like the look of the 06-07 ZX10 when it came out - now I own one and love it.

These things often look better in the flesh, but it really looks like a track bike with road bits stuck on as an after thought. Maybe one of these will be a good track toy in a couple of years. Presently, not a fan of the indicators, headlight or exhaust.

Interesting Jeff (Rapid Bikes) said its the best 1000 he's ever ridden, and he's not a huge Kawasaki fan either

I'm seriously considering one of these :D
