Kawasaki's lineup is definately a bit limited at the moment but I'm pretty sure I read fairly recently that they are spending a heap of money to double their production capacity so hopefully that would bring about a few extra models to plug a few gaps.
Like others have said, I would LOVE the big K to bring out a ZX8R. It would definately be my next bike as I don't ride anywhere near fast enough to justify a 1000 (or a 600 really but that's beside the point!).
They should also have a ZX10RR like they did with the old ZX7R and like Yamaha have done with the R1 SP.
A ZX9R or 1000 V-twin engined sportstourer would be cool to take on (and destroy) the likes of the VFRs and Sprints.
A road resisterable trailie is an absolute must. I wouldn't have thought it would be too hard to re-tune a KX and soften it up a bit for road and trail use?
Finally on the single sided swingarm thing. Didn't Honda by the design of it from ELF and patent it, only for Ducati to reveal on the launch of the 916, that a scooter company had one previous to them all?
