Default The best, Just got better...

http://www.kawasaki.ca/2006_mo....html

I was kidding about the title, But Kawasaki did refine the Zx10R

I just wish the kept the Damn Side Exit exhaust, or even better a Under belly GP style!

The black one will be my next bike, I cant wait!

Think we will actually get the good turn signals this year?

The bike is awesome looking, I love the black and the green/black, orange is a little ~~. Any other colors on the table?

Blue and Yellow would kick ***!!

Not in AMA SuperSport....

Two years in a row Kawasaki is One and Two....

Couple weekends ago I also watched the ZX10R whoop *** in SuperStock!

Give Kawasaki a couple more years in MotoGP, Perhaps some better riders and they will Kick ***...

I always thought honda's factory color was red...?

I like the green, but that ZX-10 is HIDEOUS, damn that front end looks like shiet. The tear-drop eyes / headlights really don't work for me, makes like bike look like a blimp.

Don't worry you won't see the front of that bike very often.

I also thought it was Red for Honda, but their car/F1 original color is White. I think Suzukis are blue or black, since thats all thats left.

AMA isnt that a little domestic series

Besides I think Nakano is awesome enough, if he had a better bike you'd see him up right up there.

Yeh and I rode dirtbikes for 15 years and hondas were always red or red and white. I just assumed that red was their factory color. Their website is red, and their brouchers from the dealership are red, and the fact that ive never seen a only white (factory) honda streetbike and year after year after year they always have a red model and no whites (i don't consider grey or silver to be white), i just assumed that red was more-so than white....

Dudes...Honda's slogan is "Ride Red," for Pete's sake.

The new 10 might look a little funky, and I think I liked the old one better, but I think the new bike is going to make the old one look like a dog.

When I was getting into dirtbikes:

Yamaha - Yellow/Black -&gt; White/Purple -&gt; Blue/White

Honda - Orange/Blue -&gt; Red/White

Suzuki - Yellow/Blue

Kawasaki - Green

KTM - Orange/Black

Thats kinda stuck with me, but I remember some of the Early 90's streetbikes when they came out, I was just infatuated with dirtbikes.

To peg my age: First bike = 1985 PW50 got it in 87, I was 6.

I'll take a left over 05. I am growing to hate underseat exhaust to the point of getting a phobia of it. It is one of my only complaints with my CBR.
