2011 Kawi ZX10 Pic - Page 4

I read some idiots comments yesterday on the hellforleather website. They we're ignorantly bashing the bike but I have a feeling when a tester comes out it will have some serious challenge for the BMW and Aprilia, not the the race teams have enough talent to make it show.

Supposed to be a true screamer with good throttle/tire connection. A total dream if they can pull it off...

Interesting stuff on the challenge-kawasaki site, they have a twitterish feed going on noting changes and upgrades for the new bike. Yesterday they mentioned a doohan style thumb brake. I'm assuming this is only for the race bike and the marketing guys slapped it in there cause it sounds cool. Wonder though if sbk homogolation rules would require it on the production bike after the aprilia rule changes? Anyone know? Potential awesome

Looks good, the blue pinstripes set it off

I could give 2 shits less about how it looks. Looks fine, just tell me how it works. Can it lap with the BMW and Aprillia?? Can it handle with an R1?
