They cut allot of weight off that track bike. I don't think ours will come with factory showa suspension or brembo brakes
Looks like they are already tuning the race bike, cause that sure aint developing the production machine lol. Production bike must be done ready for tooling.

everyone needs a litre bike. and this may be the firecracker bike for '11.
Kawi has to do something with suspension, it keeps getting them raked across the coals in comparison. Kawi thinks its all about HP over handling and they haven't sold shyte these previous years

I agree but heads up anyway its not a[pplicable as sanctioned race events are not riding on stock Kawi suspensions that the shootouts rate.
the same rider on all the stock bikes..... Kawi always coms in slowest lapt times since the beginning of time. not a big secret.................

tweets were up today morning with more testing pictures and 2 short videos...still no production bike version pics....Tom Sykes testing the bike...
entire bike looks quite long, not sure if it's an asthetic illusion or real...the frame appears longer than normal and the engine sitting much higher and closer to the rider...kinda wondering if they did what yamaha did with one of their dirtbikes....rotate the engine around....like an accoutant's check mark aka inverted tick mark...

Maybe this will make the 08-10 bikes even cheaper, and I can pick one up.
