...will it have 10R-type platform?...will it be substantially lighter than the current 12R?...will it be more powerful (hp/tq) than the current 12R?...will it have adjustable heated handlebars/rearsets/seating/windscreen?...will it have digital speedo/analog tach?...will it have LED tail-lights and turn signals?...will it have xenon or HID headlights that illuminate BOTH on low beam as well as high beam?...will msrp be under $12K?...will it come in metallic black?

IF the response is anything like we have seen from you lemmings who hopped on the 10 and sold or abandoned your babies it should be well worth KMC effort. Bigger and faster is better. Maybe they could make this one a little less prone to break?

There will be no more zx12r in the future, a new zzrx (sport turer) with a detuned zx12r engine will rise and we will be like dinosaurs, we all have a 1270 or bigger cc in order to keep things fair with the zx10 and R1 of 2006.
I will have a daughter and Vincent will be doing 250 mph or more.

Me neither. But a shiny 2006 with a warranty? C'mon! How cool will that be? Damn cool. Bring it on I say. That is some real exciting news from KMC assuming it is true. What colors? Safety orange would be nice.

My 04 is good til good 09.
By then I will be ready for a new one.
I don't think they will change anything in 06 I bet money on it,except color,
08 now were talking big change.
Who knows their probley won't be a 12 after 07.

I do hope that they DON'T make it more touring oriented like a ZZR. The digital tachs are stupid, but a digi speedo would be nice. Lighter with more power. Please don't make it look like a 10R. I like the size of the current bike. Basically just an updated version of the current bike
Although, it doesn't concern me much, as I have no desire to replace my green '00

If it is re-done for '06 and left near its present physical size (6'2" tall/ 240lbs rider), I will be buying a '07 with the bugs worked out. If they shink it to the size of the 10r, well then they can stick it where the sun don't shine and I will keep my '02.

Shit I was riding with a 2003 R1 today and shit my bike just crazy fast and stable so..... I will upgrade it but to change it., it has to be something very good, I was spanking that R1 like nothing....
I'm gonna look over the field sence 3 of the 4 jap makers are coming out with new models. Whatever one stands out in front of the rest overall I'll buy. But the problem is Honda will offer gizmos and electronics and a weak engine. Yamaha wont play. That leaves Suzuki and Kawi.
Kawi will shoot for big HP and innovation and Suzuki will keep things traditional, predictable and powerfull and be more uncomfortable.
Hopefully they are only 10-20 lbs heavyier than the 10 and have 180-190 RWHP.
Not that I'm agenst hondas electronics but unless it adds more power I dont need electronics. I'm all for closed loop and varriable cam timing or varriable compression. But i dont want to hear that this flapper or that valve is just for low end this and smooth that.
If I wanted to ride around at 2300 rpms I'd buy a V twin.
I'd like to see varriable cam timing and compression for topend HP and Fly by wire throttles etc.
How about a 1" thick gel tire. Active suspension.
The clocks ticking. Final configuration has to be set soon. Final production tooling has to be designed and produced by spring for a fall release.
The 600 class shows that they can do a new bike in about 2 years.
Honda has had several years to try and come up with somthing to step up to the plate with. I bought a new 97xx and it was made mute by the busa. Honda under estimated the other manufacturers badly and it was aparent by 2000.
This time they have another shot at it like everyone else.
I cant wait till this time next year.

So we have a coming soon ZXBig Boy and no Pics around Yet??, I would think that by this time we'd had some pics or photochop chop pics , .
My 12 is gone, Im waiting for the numbers on the GSXR1000, if its close to the ZX10 in Power id probably take one; the only thing that would keep me from getting one would be the salesmen; for some reason they dont want to lower the price as kawasaki people do.
I like the 10R, the power is awesome, the styling is great,. But like a few other people around, Id like to own the baddest boy at that time . That would definetly exclude Yamaha and Honda, .
Im leaning towards a 10R, just waiting to see what suzuki has to offer for the price. That new Red still looks pretty sweet ...............
