Boooo!
I hope that's not the "replacement for the zx12" my dealer friend was talking about.
Looks like about a 10 yr jump backward in styling. I guess the ZZR just isn't for me.

Are these pictures computer generated or real? If they are indeed real, the guys at the Young Machine mag. were quite on the money as far as the looks are concerned...

The front reminds me of the "sentinels" from the movie "The Matrix", that side view of the nose has bugly written all over it. I must admit that I do not like the testerossa panels on the sides, man, thats gotta go.

Tragic................

OMFG!!!

Talk about dropping the ball..............

To each his own, but that thing is bugly as can be IMHO. What's up with the RF900 styling cues??? The bike looks ok from the front, but other than that I'd say it's VERY dated looking to me. I'm dissapointed to say the least, and don't quite know what to make of it all. I just hope this is NOT the 12R's replacement. If it is, my next bike probably won't be a Kawasaki.

Well, I guess its safe to say that if you want to be the fast guy on the block you need to be butt ugly.

Your source messed with the pictures, probably got threatened with a lawsuit!

That's the replacement for the ZZR1300, as it would be, no one here believe that BS about changing the designation ZX to ZZR for insurance reasons did you?

You can say more, but you won't will ya??? Dammit fish, give us the scoop before I send Harry "Texas Ranch Whore" ZX12 to Canada to lean on ya a bit. Trust me when I say YOU DO NOT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN!!!!!!!!

Can you answer one tiny question?

Is there going to be a new big bore ZX-??R, not ZZR, for '06? No details required, just yes or no will be sufficient.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Another couple of 'em:

Very obviously ZZR-styled, not ZX-styled.

Definitely a BMW-K1200R-killer, you would certainly think a Busa killer as well. Appears perhaps too physically big to be a highly agile bike, but then again that's not what ZZR's are about. They're about being the best sports-handing and most powerful of the sports tourers.

Does look like a serious machine.

Crystal ball says "That is not the bike". Stay tuned for real information on product releases.
