hmmm. I know I am going to get flamed for this but I have always liked the looks of the Busa. I think it looks more like a sport bike over all than the zx-14. I like how the front of the zx-14 looks but after that it looks more like a sport cruiser to me.
...lol..

It's the double stacked headlight that reminds me of a busa. I hate that headlight. It's hideous. So, I stand behind my original statement.

I hate the headlight as well, but the rest of the bike is fantastic, still no match for the new 10R IMHO.

I looks like a 'Busa that those jackasses that made Knight Rider 2010 got hold of.

lol, you have to admit that the rest of the bike looks like it came straight off the track. Thats what I love about the new 10r as well, it looks sooo much like a motogp bike. Without the cyclops look of the ktm.

I am looking forward to seeing the new 10r in person. I will be in the market for a 10 in the next year, so I am really hoping that the bike looks better in person than in the pics.

The new 10R is a BAMF

I do not understand what so many dislike about the 10R, the only bad parts are the exhaust (which everyone will change anyway), and the mirrors/signals (easily changed). It looks like a gp bike...what else could you ask for?

A GP ride!

edit:
Heck, one of the 07 SBK 10r's would look good in my shop as well.
