WTF Kawasaki.
I have never had any real brand loyalty for street bikes.I always wanted what ever was the baddest toy for the year. Not to say that I can use all that performance ,its pretty much an ego thing . Last spring when my ZX9 was going into the shop for some warranty work ,I thought it would be down for a long time and I would miss a fair portion of the riding season.Looking at all 4 big bores I realized they were all pretty good machines. I fell in love with the R1 and was set to purchase. I went to the Kawasaki dealer and talked with a friend who is the sales manager about the 10.($4500.00 CDN less than the Yamaha.) Next thing I knew I was signing papers. I Wanted an orange but a friend of mine purchased one 2 weeks before. I decided on the green. I called the dealer back 2 hrs later and said I wanted black. So black it was. I have no regrets for purchasing a Kawasaki or a Back one. I just wondered why the R1 didn't come in black .The GSXR 1000,CBR 1000 and the ZX-10 were offered in black . Now for 05 you can get a black R1 but no ZX-10. it seems like Kawasaki is missing the point. Does anybody else feel this way?

...sorry, couldn't help myself 
I don't think they are missing the point, I think that they are trying to be differant.....I mean, by being differant, people notice them.....you did
or on the flip side....maybe the others are just a year behind.....

Not having a black ZX10 in '05 is a mistake, IMHO. I didn't want black but there is no argueing that it was the favorite color in '04.

I think they've got black paint in spray cans at the hardware store .... it'd match your old Toyota ZXR .....

If orange is so dope why did it go the way of black for 05?
It's a green world ruled by green people in there greenhouses eating green food smoking green things.

I wish Kawi would learn how to paint a bike Black. They haven't figured it out yet.
