Be interesting to see if the welds are different around the area that some people have had problems with.
As some forum members know, they changed 'how' they welded the 08 model.
Wonder if it has 2 fans?

Only 1 fan.

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

I don't feel that the ZX really needs two fans -- my C14 has them (right one being much smaller) and it just puts more heat on the rider from my exp...

Ya'll may not need a second fan but out in Az. you will when it hits 115F and the heat coming off the asphalt is 300F. I've got engine ice and a brand new filter in and my legs are cooked in 25 min. and by the time I stop the radiator boils for 20 min.

I'm a kaw fan, and have been since I can remember but I do like the busa a lil. I wonder if you can take the old rear end plastics and put them on the new busa?

Yo BTG the only way it got to 125 in cali is if you're in death valley, cause I know it's hotter in Az. than cool cali. Also I didn't say that that's the hottest it got. It was easily 120F just a month ago and thats cool time here.

I didn't realize that Kawi had the new colors on their site. The silver looks damn good, and the midnight color looks black.....the other one still sucks though.

You don't know much about Cali then....much less where I live and go to work. It gets to 115 regularly in the summer here in the high desert. And Fort Irwin isn't too far from Death Valley...the heat DOES come. It got as hot as 132 near fort irwin this summer....for 2 weeks straight it was 125 and I have an 80 mile commute.

Yeah, but the 125 is a dry heat. LOL
I was stationed in 29 palms before, it was 116 when we stepped off the bus in our dress uniform w/LOTS of baggage. Right then I figured out why the Drill Instructor was giggling when he called our names for '29 stumps'.

The 2 were there on Thursday at Kawasaki City in Irving - NO BS!!! 
Both were still there on Friday.
In addition, Plano Kawasaki had the same 2 colors when I dropped in there on Friday afternoon, and they had just been delivered that day - NO BS!!!
Both were still there today - NO BS.
Mesquite did not have any yet - NO BS.
I REALLY wanted to see the dark blue in person, but it was not to be.

I CONFIRM. Went to Irving Kaw Today. The $11,300 price is only about $300 more than the 3 2007 zx14 on the floor. Pretty nice guys over there. Better than many of the dealers I've been in.
They didn't have any of the new zx10 in though. Really wanted to see one. They said January. For guy who want to see the zx10 sooner, The dealer off of I30 East right before 635 said they would have one in two to three weeks. I can;t remember the name of the shop.
