The ZX-10R Has Landed in Daytona (photos) OK, I'm guessing these will be stolen and reposted but just give the photographer credit.
The bike seems SO small, even narrower than the ZX-6. Can't wait to ride one. Enjoy the photos.

Thanks for the aweome pics Dave. A couple questions and observations. What is that funky thing protruding out the back above the license plate? Is that the light for it? What tires comes stock on it? Will, I, at 6'4" be rediculously uncomfortable on it? What was the MSRP on it?
An observation. Looking at that photo you took of the front, the 1st thing that poped in my head was SV650, anyone else?
The black is just stunning! I want one.
Thanks Dave!!!!

The white thing is the tail light, looks like red LED's under it. It's pretty sharp. The whole thing under it, signals, plate, and all, can be unscrewed and dropped off like the new ZX-6.
Dunlop 208's are on it, 190 rear.
We're about the same height, it feels small, really small.

Is it my imagination, or do those turn signals look HUGE....No, I mean REALLY REALLY HUGE AND FUCKING UGLY!!! I won't buy the bike if I can't get the Euro turnsignals. In fact, I'll have to have the Euro turnsignals before I buy the bike so I can put them on at the dealer before I even swing a leg over the bike.

Okay, front tun signals are outta there. Euro replacement will be going on as soon as I can figure out how I can get some. The undertail/license plate/rear turn signal "thing" is beyond correcting with a mere drimel. Hopefully it will be one of the first things addressed by the aftermarket community.
D208? What happened to those supposedly new designed Bridgestones? Damn that "lowest vendor bidding" thing. I might have to make swapping the tires out for Corsas part of the deal.

Would someone explain to me the double lines per caliper in the front?????
Also, the undertail looks different than the 6. I think I see a different contour, plus a different color (black) plastic towards the front of the U.T.
I was HOPING it would be like the 6 and z1000..... ____________
uh oh

Dave, could you see if the fastener system has been upgraded from the 12. That was one thing about the 12 I never cared for.

One thing I noticed on those pics (Thanks Dave!) The front fender is kinda weird as I always traditionly broom those reflectors off and now if you do, it looks like that indenation will be there and it will look gross! Oh well ..................... it looks like a carbon fiber fender is in the works as soon as someone makes them!
Black's where it's at.
