well you like the buel... no accounting for taste....



naw... the front of the ZX10R and now the ZX6R are now by far the ugliest bikes yet.

the 650R doesn't look BAD... but it reminds you of the ZX6 and 10... and subsequently induces acid reflux

Exactly- lame. They kept the rounded tank and frame and everything and slapped on ZX10R bodywork. The 250 looks much better IMO, because it was a ground up redesign. Everything matches there. The blurb mentions new gauges- which I'm sure is another squidly concession to the brats that bought a 650 and wanted a supersport.

I love Kawi's smooth, flowing lines. Now they have the same old origami shit as Yamaha and everyone else. At least Honda is going back toward smooth.

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
