Quote from website:
"According to MotoRevue, Kawasaki plans to revamp their Z 1000 streetfighter, which will be soon presented.
The bike is supposed to be powered by the latest ZX-10R engine, replacing the one developed from the much older ZX-9R. The extra horsepower and torque sure has to be celebrated with a radical, even sharper design and this rendering by Jérôme Vannesson shows just how the next generation model might look. We can only hope it will do so."

At last a detuned ZX10 engine hopefully makes it's way into a zeddy.....I hope that's what it looks like.

Love the pipe style, fits it perfectly!
Whilst I can't see an aftermarket improving the look, somehow I don't think that would stop people
Yeah I know, there's always sound and power, and you don't "see" the bike when you ride it

That does look pretty hot! Will be interesting to see how closely this pic is to the real deal. You could at least live with the stock pipe for a while as opposed to the one on the 08-09 10...

I dunno whether they will get all the gubbins between the headers and end can, I just can't really see the average manufacturer producing a bike with a sexy stock exhaust anymore, with all the regulations around.
If a generation 3 Zeddy did look like that it would surely increase the sales of what is already a damn fine looking naked.
If they make em too good though, how will all the aftermarket guys benefit??

I'd have one. unfortunately though i can see now that the actual final design will fail compared to this fictional mock-up. DAMN YOU AWSOME DESIGNER. I hate when people get me all worked up and then i get bitchsmacked right back down again!!

They didn't get the message about the Rex so why would they pay attention now?
