And they fucked up bigtime with the 6R and 650R.

well you like the buel... no accounting for taste....

naw... the front of the ZX10R and now the ZX6R are now by far the ugliest bikes yet.

the 650R doesn't look BAD... but it reminds you of the ZX6 and 10... and subsequently induces acid reflux

Exactly- lame. They kept the rounded tank and frame and everything and slapped on ZX10R bodywork. The 250 looks much better IMO, because it was a ground up redesign. Everything matches there. The blurb mentions new gauges- which I'm sure is another squidly concession to the brats that bought a 650 and wanted a supersport.

I love Kawi's smooth, flowing lines. Now they have the same old origami shit as Yamaha and everyone else. At least Honda is going back toward smooth.

Bad shot of the new 650s dash- no fucking thank you. Love my analogs.

see I'd have to test that at night... my eyes may not like that color... damn astigmatism... I saw Kat's though... her 600RR wasn't bad and I think that's Orangeish red

you can always change the color if you dont like it. I always wanted to change mine, but never really got the urge to order the LEDs

just like I figured, they're a bunch of retards. they're putting the EX500 line down after 09, they restyled the 600 to look like the 1000, they're AIMING to fall off our markets(not that I'd miss the kawi at all.
