A 12R frame? That would be sweet, but.. wouldn't the race prototype be using a similar frame configuration (currently a modified 7RR twin spar type) as the "production" bike it is supposedly modeled after?
I'd love it either way, but only after they put some brake fluid in for the front brakes!

I think its a photochop job.
Look at the gas tank were it meets the frame and the seat. The tank hangs down over where the battery cover would be. The shadow line between the seat and the back of the gas tank doesn't look right either. Muffler looks funny, has strange lines on the end caps. WTF is the footpeg bracket bolted to?????????
The front blinker reflection is yellow not white.
Front fender has strange outline on it on back side.
When did they come with tinted windshields..

It's a 9R. Look at the frame spars under the tank, and the metal gas tank. It's a metal tank, just look at the seam of the tank.

Umm...Next clue. See the gold right behind the frame spars? That's the throttle linkage to the carbs. Note that on a monocoque frame, that would have to sit under the frame.

Wow is all I can say...... Being a R1 rider and lover myself, that Kawasaki is totally killer looking. I can't wait to read the specs on this bike. Finally Kawasaki is joining the race to be on top. The engineers for the ZX10 deserve a pat on the back for this bike and there new ZX6.

I saw at the dealer today in Post Falls they have Suzuki GSXR's and some Aprilias that come from factory with all the logos and racing promotion stickers all on the bike already.
