My thoughts exactly...........
I'm sure this won't help the sales numbers. Everything I've read about the 10R has been positive except for the tranny. Whatever the reason for the delay, I just hope the bike is "Right" when they finally do start shipping them.

Just like the 12R for sure. I still say they send out ringers for initial revues, but are unable to mass produce bikes capable of comparable performance.
Just wait a year and buy a new ZX10R for somewhere in the $8995 range is my personal thought on the value of this bike.
Dam I wish Kawasaki could get it right , right from the start, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I dont see how that's a delay... We've (www.zx10rzone.com) been saying March/April on this site since last August. Perhaps the editors of that magazine should be reading this site instead of their "other" sources.... The 10R appears to be right on schedule as far as we are concerned.

Got my motocyclist mag yesterday good right up except the tranny, on the 10r then i noticed that on the cover of the mag, and in the testruns, the 10rs have only one head lite at low beem, if u pay for double headlite you should get them .

Tranny...
I think Kaw is gonna wedge a GM Powerglide transmission into the 10R. Fish, can you verify this at your next board meeting?
