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.

Bad shot of the new 650s dash- no fucking thank you. Love my analogs.

see I'd have to test that at night... my eyes may not like that color... damn astigmatism... I saw Kat's though... her 600RR wasn't bad and I think that's Orangeish red

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

yeah just looked up that thread on 600rr... looks simple and works awesome! I'll be doing that... especially if that blue comes to the states...

god damn you trip and your sexy ass RR... LOL

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??

I Like it...I dont however Like the Side Exhaust, I like the undertail setup better.

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

The 6R looks too much like the ugly ass ZX-10. The 650R looks decent though.
