you can always change the color if you dont like it. I always wanted to change mine, but never really got the urge to order the LEDs

just like I figured, they're a bunch of retards. they're putting the EX500 line down after 09, they restyled the 600 to look like the 1000, they're AIMING to fall off our markets(not that I'd miss the kawi at all.

Lol, You guys make me Laugh...Because Yami's Styling is So much better Right? And Honda Is stepping up there game for Uglyness.

But you want my Opinion??

lol this whole thread is about looks... we said nothing about because it's ugly that it'll be slow... just that it's FUCKING UGLY...

and I'd say 70%+ of people who buy new bikes buy on looks... not performance... shit actually I'd say it's higher.

and yeah... with the 1000RR... honda is right up there...

the new R1 is WAY up there again... I think Kawi may have the edge on it but it's worse than the 1000RR...

the R6 and GSXR600 are good looking bikes IMO... .but the 600RR is BY FAR the best looking 600 IMO...

I agree People buy Bikes because of Looks, But I dont think it Looks "Bad" I like the New Zx 10.

I dont like the Stock Tail section of the new 600RR...Otherwise it is a Sharp Looking Bike. It's all about prefrence though....And I prefer Kawi's.

Meh, I'm content with my 08...Fuck 09's

im guessing none of you took the time to read the features list on the 6r? lots of improvements plus general lightening and centralisation. not to mention the first fielding of showa's new fork design. the old one was a great bike to ride, just not the fastest one out there. looks like this one may fix the speed part.

my comments on the ex500, well do you really see room for another midsize modernised parallel twin in the lineup with the 650r around? kawi keeps old models around for a looong time but you cant seriously get mad when they ditch them for more modern gear

oh yeah, anyone whos complaining that they made it look like a baby ten oughtta remember that not too long ago the 6, 9, and 12 were nearly impossible to tell apart

it's not that we're complaining that they look similar... it's that they look UGLY... if the 10 wasn't ugly I'd say hell yes... make the 6 a baby 10...

I fell in love with the zx6r when I first saw it... and loved that the 9 and 12 looked like it's bigger brother...

but those bikes LOOKED GOOD but that's in the past... with actual FUNCTIONAL headlights just ask anyone who was in front of me at night... with my HID I'd drown out cars headlight in the lane next to me.
