Probably the most significant update for kawasaki in the last 30 years provided it works and gets ridden of the infamous Kawasaki tick :?

I'm probably biased but I prefer the look of the old model any one else agree ?

I like the carbon grey version for next year

I don't know if that one is going to be available in Europe.

That one you've shown is the "KRT Edition" https://www.kawasaki.com/Products/2016- ... RT-Edition#" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The carbon grey one is listed on Kawasaki UK website so i suspect it will be available.

Its the graphics on the KRT bike that spoil it.

Reading the comments by the team leaders for the design, supersport bikes are on a slippery slope. He said they dont sell well enough anymore to justify development costs when asked if any of the ZX10 improvements would filter down.

I don't like the rear of the new model to fa5 and chunky but I guess it has to be as I assume it's housing all the new electrickery control modules etc....
