    Yes defo marmite bike Matt, looks like more of a concept than production! Good to see a diffrent approach by Kawasaki 10/10 for being original that's for sure!

    Not sure I like it, but with all that power who gives a fk what it looks like, when you crack open near 300bhp the last thing on your mind is what it looks like, with that power and aerodynamics it is sure to dust just about anything to date I rekon!

    Yeah I was just thinking the Kwaks clearly need more power..... :confused:

    But the thought of a lighter 750cc style engine with more power than a 1litre does interest me a lot! Won't purchase a new bike for a bit longer now then..... :)

    Really like the front and rear. Love the single-sided swingarm. Don't like the sticky-outy-wingy-things (I thought they were mirrors at first), and don't like the lower fairing missing.

    But SWEET BABY JESUS AND THE ORPHANS! This thing is gonna shift! Is the front rim filled with lead? It'll need to be I reckon! :eek:

    The "aerodynamic devices" concern me a little. The ones on the side look just like cut-down versions of a F1 car's front wing, and look like they will be exerting down force when the bike is in a straight line...... seems a tad unnecessary, but whatever.
    But then, what happens when the bike is cranked over at 50 degress, wazzing round a high-speed corner? They are now exerting a force at 50 degrees, helping to over-load the tyres and push the bike away from the corner!

    Or am I over-thinking this? :confused:

    That is one ugly machine.
    Really not liking the styling of that.

    bet it costs a fortune, eats rear tyres for breakfast and can't corner for **** due to length? (or is it shorter than it looks, if so I hope its got TC and anti wheelie)
    lots of car engines are being downsized and turbo'd due to emissions, so i was expecting this bike to be 600-750 SC not the full 1 litre, can't see that being very emission friendly lol ;)

    won't be long before governments start capping max power for road bikes at this rate, I mean come on, 300bhp and 200kg = over 1000bhp per ton with rider! :) wow, going to be fun :D
