I'm sure there will be, along with a new CBR1000RR. Going to be interesting to see if they go all out or just add a few hp and with it add a few more pounds. At a higher price.

haha I sure hope so. I am putting my 06 up for sale in Aug/Sep just so I can get the new 08 10R. I've read a lot of rumors about it - I guess we'll find out soon enough.

When in the pits at Barbers the Kaw guys said there WILL be a new 10 next year that corrects all the problems they've been having with the current bikes. They were excited about it so there must be something to it .

My local dealer is saying it will have the underbelly exhaust like the Ninja 650 does.

I'm inclined to believe that development of the ZX-RR motoGP machine and the 10 are linked, particularly in the area of engine design. Anyone following the motoGP will have noticed a definite step up in the delivery and overall power of the ZX-RR machine. I think this bodes well for the next generation 10 and wouldnt be surprised to see a class leading leap in engine performance (as if it wasnt already)...cant wait.

Big bang motor maybe, pneumatic valves ?????
Did they have does pneumatic valves on the Zx-RR ??
I would like to see a suspension as equal to the GSX one and for sure more perf then the buzuki.

Lol! lots of good info there on the 2008....
The 2006 ZX1000D6F model carried over to the 2007 model year, with only color scheme changes. The most noticible difference between 2006 and 2007, is that the heat-shields on the exhaust pipes are black on the '07 ZX10R, and '06 came with silver ones. The ZX-10R is expected to be all new for the 2008 model year. No information is currently available.

I sure hope the '08 is a tad more creatively styled and evolved than Craptors web site has portrayed. No new ground there at all.

Little bit of 1098 (lights) 04/05 side panels and air intakes another poor rendering of what it may look like.
Keep the current styling except the lights and single pipe ala CBR1000 would be nice IMHO
Very slippery design alredy
