New kawa sportbike for 2006
 
At least 2 new kawas for next year. The new ZX10R beast and a ninja 650R likely to replace the 500R and compete with the SV650.

wow the new zx10 looks pretty cool. but i'm not too sure about some of the changes they did with the bike. like the smaller headlights. it looks too yamaha R7ish. not a big fan of that. and the dual under tail exhuast. why did they put it so far apart? rear cowl? can we say GSXR1000? i guess thats the old school new look. if i remember correctly the older bikes had that turn sig intergrated with the rear cowl. i would like to see how the new gages looks. but ya, looks like a 636 on steroids.......:D

i like the new headlights. but i also like the r7 too so go figure that one. the only thing i dont like is the exhaust. its way too far apart and the cans are too long. other than that though the exhaust cans have a nice shape. i cant wait to see the aftermarket exhaust. maybe if they made a nice single can to go in the middle. or a dual can like the r1s. nice and flush you know what i mean?

Wow...the 10 looks like it can absolutely rip....i like the exhaust too...kinda gives it the F-14 look from the rear, plus being a fighter jet fanatic, i really like it...looks pretty bad ass too me.....the 650 looks really cool too...looks really clean, but wow..the 10 looks just F'in sick in my opinion

I would love to have the ZX10R. I think it looks sweet, headlights exhaust and all. I can't wait until the first rides and reviews start. It's insane how light and powerful the sportbikes have become.

The new zx-10R is hot. From the front to the back. The intergrated signals are nice and the exhaust is nicely spaced making it look like a fighter jet burner. I'm kind of glad that they didnt put the exhaust together like the yamaha b/c then it would have looked the same. The headlights are nice b/c it doesnt look like ever other jap bike with the pointy aggresive lights. I too cant wait to see what aftermarket exhaust are going to come out for it. I just hope that like yamaha that the butt of the passenger doesnt burn when someone sits back there. i rode the 05 zx-10r and it won my heart, the 06 is already won it and i havent sat or seen the bike up close yet. i cant wait to buy one.

All black!
