2005 Ninjas.

Haven't heard a peep about the new models. Found these at these at http://www.kawasaki.com
New colours, flush mount indicators are gone (maybe US only?) and undertail exhaust for the 6.

Dare I say that the new 6 make the 10 look a little dated already?

Any thoughts guys and girls?

Matty, I think kawasaki.com shows the US models. They aren't allowed to have flush mounts over there. We'll be getting them here.

Thats why Muzzys sell the Euro flush mount indicators, for US owners who have ugly knobby things.
I think the new ZX6 is actually fairly ugly and im really not a fan of underseat exhausts.
Go the ZX10, i hope the ZX10 update doesnt have an underseat exhaust.

I don't like any of the 2005 models. Especially the ZX6R, I'm really glad I got my 04! I like the new colours though, that titanium looks sweet

Thats right spect-r the ZX10R is good enough like it is & the side mount exhaust looks a lot better . Once you have an aftermarket exhaust on a bike with undertail how much of the good quality do you see of it compaired to the side mount??

Best looking bike for next year is the rebadged 02 zx6r as the "Boring as bat shit" paint jobbie zzr600. It would look awesome in a solid LOUD colour like red/green/orange/blue/titanium with painted n polished rims.
I'm already over the Underseat Zorst look. Said it before best looking 05 scoot has to be the R6, which is a shame oh well.

[Smitty]

even poor ol triumph are making better lookin' bikes for 2005
this is the new 1050cc TOURER...for gawdssake!!!
so for Kawasaki, some questions, if I may
why no sports 750....?
why no replacement for the 9r (And the ZX10r isn't!)
I can't beleive what they are doing with the ZX600 ..to be known as ZZR600??? c'mon you guys!

hmmm
maybe Madkaw should send some of our comments to his contact at Kwika Australia!!!

[Quarkz]

That looks comfy but I don't think I would ride one by choice. The colour is moving my furniture though.

[ty]

I think that's the first sports trumpy I've seen that I actually like.
Something's wrong...

[Nanna10r]

Sorry Yoda thats as "Ugly as a hat full of Clackers" as well mate.
Cheers Brett.
PS Kylie itsa bit of a worry when a Colour gets ya re-arranging the Double Ensemble & PC Desk

[MadKaw]

the zzr600 will remain as is in Aus. Its only the states that are rebadging the older zx6r... Have a look at you 2005 brochure you got at the GP...
The zx10 will not be updated for 2005... Kawi work on a 2 year model cycle....

I've got the '05 Titanium ZX-10R as my desktop at work and aside from the colour it looks the same as the current model...god I want one

[Blackzxr]

I don't like under seat exhaust's, but i didn't mind the 05 ZX6R. Saw it at the GP and changed my mind, as it looks better in the flesh. It would look ok with a little housekeeping in the rear end, but i still prefer the look of mine.
