Is it just me or does it look extrememly Kawasaki-ish?? The headlights and pillion seat at least. The tank is more R1 and That swing arm is freakin huge!

If the race version finishes close to last in the WSBK this year then I'd say yes

looks pretty dam hot

almost as good as my 9r

I remember when the first reports from the journo's came out on this bike. They were all waxing lyrical about it and I thought at the time, that it was a lot of hype which was mostly surrounding it. Well, yesterday, I was able to recieve some owner feedback on the new bike and it wasn't what I expected. He started off saying it was a great bike, but over a few minutes, this lead into harsh criticism of the bikes motor. He believes it has less bottom end and midrange than his 2008 GSXR750!!!! He says it sure does have some top end, but you have to be riding it like a 600 to get it to move!!!!

WHen all the original ride reports came out, I still remember thinking that give it 6 months and they will all be finding fault with it!! Watch this space!!!

You only have to go over to the s1000rr forums to see they have had major engine failure problems.. One guy had been through 6 motors I got a good laugh out of it

I did a little surf through and also found, oil usage, oil leaks, seizing rear calipers, paint flaking off the frame and swingarm & gearbox shifting issues. I spent about five minutes looking before I realised with the amount of issues it would take me hours

Seriously though....6 motors????? God forbid you should actually ride it!
