    Just come across this image; it does look fantastic. I hope the 2015 blade looks this good.
    Hope to change my bike in 2015/16.

    It's a mock up that's been doing the rounds for ages.....

    New r1 will be an IL4 too.

    I know mate but that was used as a mock up for r1 when they were saying the r1 will be a triple. But it's been confirmed it'll be an Il4

    As for r3 maybe, but first I've heard of it tbh and it wouldn't look like that that's for sure....

    I can' be doing with lime green. Plus build quality on Kwaks has always been poor.

    Since when? my zx10 is easily on par with my last Blade(59 plate) if not better IMHO, and the new H2R is black:D

    almost crapped myself when I seen the first pic and title R1. I do not like that and glad it's not the real thing.

    I hope

    Disagree, and not just because I've just bought one either.

    My 2010 ZX10 was put together better than my 2013 Blade, especially the bodywork, and the 2014 model is just as good.

    The Captive rubber nuts on the OEM Honda Fairings are utter shyte and seized up on mine within 7 months and as for the stupid plastic Fairing Tags?


    FFS! :rolleyes:

    Okay so green is not everybody's favourite colour but it's the only colour I would buy a kawasaki in!

    Put my Z1000 next to my blade and the build quality is as good as the blade if not better in some areas.

    And my 2012 blade bodywork has to be the worst of all the manufacturers ( don't know how they got away with it).
