Kawasaki and Suzuki merged
Kawasaki and Suzuki merged.... it just hit me...
I forgot that actually happened.... Kawasaki and Suzuki merged in the production of
the 250 dirtbike... identical bikes... and you can order it with either green or yellow but the
bike is produced by them in a joint venture... and it's IDENTICAL
So I'll bet $$$ that they both worked on this as well... face it, as ugly as the busa is,
Suzuki sells the dogshit out of them, and I bet kawi asked suk to do a joint venture to
design this bike...
I want to be the first to bring this up, as I'm sure it will be revealed later on!!!

You may be eating crow later... you'll have to prove that they didn't work on this together....
We'll know soon when the part numbers come out and match those of Suzuki...

He works for Kawasaki... as in the design team??? Simply selling bikes or whatever
doesn't mean anything...
And if he does work over in Japan on the design team, we ought to go kick his ass for
one UGLY bike...

Well then the only explaination would be copy cat design! How in the Hell can Kawasaki build a bike like the ZX12R and follow it up 6 years later with reverse styling? I mean in the car industry that's popular as of late, but not bikes that are suppose to be on the cutting edge. And like it's already been stated a ZZR badging would be suitable, but not ZX badging!

I will have to agree with gunner on the ZZR badging. I like it for a ZZR replacment but ZX12R..................NO! I cant wait to ride one I am in the market for a hyper sport tourer.

Guys I was told months ago that Kawasaki was building a Busa Buster. That's what it was called within the Kawasaki circles. Look at what we got given to us. It's EXACTLY that indeed. For several years we have stated that we wanted kawasaki to give us something to shut those pesky Busa Boys mouth up with. This is IT! I'm sure it will go like hell in a strait line as does the Busa. Im sure it will two up ride better than a 12 as does the Busa. I'm positive it won't handle like a 12R and neither does a Busa.
Kawaski however has their time line all mixed up because they should have built this bike 6 years ago when the Busa was Hot. It would have better went head to head with that bike then.

Oh come on Fish look at it. It's not intended to go around corners. It's an updated pumped up ZX11. It's no R model and they don't call it one either.

Don't worry because the part numbers won't match...It's an exclusive design to Kawasaki and you can just look at the design of the bike and see the traits that are unique to the Kawasaki brand.
That merger was only for some of the dirtbike and 4 wheeler lines as shared models..
The 250F MX bikes are no longer a shared bike...The new KXF250 and RMZ250 are exlcusive to each manufacturer....
None of the sportbikes have been shared models....

They are no longer merged and sands is correct the 250 dirt bikes are different.

It should be illegal to resurrect old posts past 3 months...shoot the fuckers and ban "em fer life!! The guy that started this thread ain't even here no more..fuck. Speaking of which - -where's that Turdlickin jackoff that started all that "HID-from-Japan-better-then-Taiwan" crap anyway? Forgot the asswipes name now...funny how they come and go -- can't stand the heat, so they go to Greg the dick's site.
Whatever happened to TONY:GAYHUFFMAN?
