Don't like the aero wings TBH.
It looks nothing like the other images Kawasaki have released.

Looks very purposeful and aggressive, I like the aero fins in that view, but the seat unit looks a bit chunky in silhouette, I'm wondering if it's supposed to be on slicks? Track only model?

Love it and the hype around this bike is great. It looks like a good supercharger setup and the best thing about boost is you can add a bit more and you get mucho bhp until the motor lunches it's self.
Love the last pic of it looks very dark and angry.
"80mph" sorry officer I possibly could not have done that I'm no Valentino Rossi.

I love it,.
Talk about a beast. Look at the size of that rear brake disc.
I'm surprised they went for a SSSA, obviously weight isn't a consideration.

this is the r version , I want to see the street version with lights etc , those wings look fragile , you wont want to be banging fairings in races with those sticking out , I really like it though , do we know the engine size yet ?

Not sure yet, needs more fairing and the proportions look a bit touring bike.
Might be a grower though

Full details released today at the Intermoto show.
I suspect the mirrors go where the fins are and the lights will go above the air intakes in the nosecone.
