I was just asking what everyone thought about looks (unbiased). I personally think the Kawi and the HONDA are both ugly, but dude the ZX10 I think is HORRID...wtf did they forget about turn signals and why does the front look like a dork?
Lets compare the KAWI and HONDA...two ugly bikes....

Actually i would pick the honda first. In the pictures the mirrors and windscreen look really out of place on the zx 10 to me. We should be getting one in any time then I will see how it looks in person. Alot of you guys are really scared about the 08 Busa, no matter what the thread is about someone brings it up. We ae only getting 1 in as zx 10s don't sell well around here, but most litre bikes don't for some reason. I think it's because younger people go for the 600's then the older people figure they are getting the Busa or ZX 14. And it kinda of leaves the 1000's in the middle. we only sold 2 gsxr1000's last year and no 10's

New ZX-10 is basically a race bike in street clothes. What are the first things private racers do to their bikes? Take off the mirrors, fenders and turn signals. That's why we're seeing liter bikes coming out with those pieces being integrated.
I actually like the Honda's front end more than the Kawi. I just think the 10 likes dorky from the front. :-?

I think HONDA is in the game in litre bikes for '08 like they dominated the 600 class in '07.
Time will tell. I could care less about any of the brands though, I'd like to own them all. And now that I have a Yamaha I've owned them all (the jap 4).
Its funny to watch some "bow down" to one brand or another! :P
I'm not sure what I'll get next in 10 months (when I've ridden the R1 for a year). But I doubt it'll be either of these two, may wait and see who does what for '09.
Thanks for the unbiased votes!
And Hawkman, LMAO @ your grasshopper pic!
