I would take that over a Busa anyday, especially with that rear seat cowl.

I dont like it either. I'd rather have the ZX-12 based on the looks.

I wonder what it weighs.

They need to come out with an open classer that weighs like 480 lbs wet.

Another pointless exercise IMO. Big lardy missile When are the manufaturers going to make a bike weighing no more than 200lbs and give it 80HP. I mean where are you ever going to ring its neck for more than 10 secs at a time?

Hmmm..... Busa Killer it will Be, Though I was hoping for more of a ZX10ish look But im sure 200hp will be on tap!

Regardless Its a Kawasaki, So it is the Best!


Ohh and how about that 2006 ZX-10R, I will be getting one of those!

Yea I'd take a ZX-10 over the 14 in a heartbeat.WTF are people gonna do with them? Drive down the highway in a straight line,that's it.Regardless of the power they're putting out now,are they not all limited to a certain speed as of a couple years ago?

...and what can you use the power of a 10R for on the street ?

If you ever rode a 12R, you'd realize how big that bike DOESN'T feel when you're railing on it. Bikes like that and the Busa are do-it-all bikes. Comfortable to just go ride for miles and miles on end. Effortless speed is available at any point in the power band. They CAN be railed through mountains and canyons.

Not everyone wants the latest repli-racer poser bike that you'll never get the most out of on the street.

Eh? The Aprilia Supermoto is going to have ~80 hp? How much is it displacing? Either way its not going to be street legal.

The KTM 950 however, is
