........and even MORE dope about the ZX-10R....
It is going to be hard as hell to wait until next year to buy one of these bad babys. (providing it is all it is supposed to be)
Note the turn signal stalks on our beloved US spec model. Either way I think the bike looks awesome, and I believe Kaw left us a way out on the turn signals. Looks like the swap to the European spec flushmounts will be fairly easy.

If I can get the euro-spec signals, I'll get it. Those US signals look like shit.

i tell ya one thing that bothers me: from that angle the headlights look the same as the Goldwing. *shudder*
plus i dislike that centerline they have goin down the front, accentuated as it is by that little triangle/tooth thingy at the bottom of the ram air opening. could all change when i see it in person of course. that optional seat cover looks like an afterthought too. doesnt really loook like it fits right (not pictured here of course).

Come on, Rick. You know you gotta have one. Just like this one, right? No mirrors... trimmed tail... no reflectors... Euro front signals... CF canister...

And what's with those turn signals? Do they think we blind here in the US where we won't be able to these the flush ones?
I am mad now.
Hey, I don't know if some of you remember when the 12 first came out when I got mad that it was restricted and I was thinking about sueing Kawasaki? That was so funny.

I want the Black one. I'll have to go to a dealer and sit on one first though cause being 6'4" I may be too cramped.

I like the black frame. Just as it should be. And notice the monocoque like frame, too? Doesn't quite poke out like the Gixxers.
Man, this thing better haul.
I think it looks as good if not better than the R1. Really, I do.

Damn straight Sherm, I hear the Lil' Biatch sayin' "Spank me, spank my ASS right now".
Seriously, I think I am even more anxious to see how this little jewel performs than I was the 12R. Yes, I said it. I can't wait to RIDE one. When did you say you figured yours would be here???? Figured I could help you "Shake Down" the suspension. You know, just wantin' to help a brother out. 
I have got to exercise some patience for once in my life though. I will make no new bike purchases prior to next fall. (atleast that's my plan as of now)

The bike looks great but the exhaust looks cheap. Isn't it about time they came up with an underseat as per MotoGP. I wonder why the flush signals are not on the NA bikes.

i am not a fan of the underseat exhaust, so I hope it doesnt have that. I hope it delivers all it promises....but if it comes in at 13 grand, I will be getting another 600, or a GSXR 1k

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually I hate those undertail exhausts! I like the traditional look myself, and besides the heat they must generate in real world conditions must be ASS tronomicial! I should know as try riding when it's over 115 degrees in the dessert sometimes! My ASS still gets hotttt with the traditional look even!! I don't think there would be a problem with ground clearance on this machine anyway. Why did these few manufacturers do this anyways except copying Ducati's??!?!?
