I just came across this. Lots of pretty pictures. Something I noticed while having a read was the final drive is 15/43 on a bike reputed to have 130 hp. OOOhhhh Baby.....
Yeah, it'll only be something like 115 at the rear. Although thats the same as a current model with an exhaust and power commander. I'm hanging out to read the first ride tests to see what the new wheels have done for it. I'm a big believer in minimal rotating mass.

I won't buy one new but I'll be ready in a couple of years and by that time there will be plenty of aftermarket tail pieces available that get rid of the ugly standard one. I'm thinking a twin pipe outlet like Formula One do for the cbr600rr.

This could just be rumor but im much more interested in the 06 model ZX7R!!!!!
Thats right, from a guy who rides a 7 and has a mate who owns a Kawasaki dealership, Kawasaki have hinted at about 6 or so new models for 06, among them is rumored to be a new ZX7R, im saving for a deposit.
"The road to hell is paved with good intentions" screw it then i'll just be bad.
I'd like to see the ZX7R back as much as anyone but i dont see why they would it was designed to race Worldsupers when in-line fours were limited to 750cc now that they are allowed 1000cc i cant see the rational for it. But as i said i d love to be proved wrong on this one.
