Re: 2016 ZX10R
Probably the most significant update for kawasaki in the last 30 years provided it works and gets ridden of the infamous Kawasaki tick

Dealer does say the price is an estimate though.

Re: 2016 ZX10R
I'm probably biased but I prefer the look of the old model any one else agree ?

Re: 2016 ZX10R
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;

Re: 2016 ZX10R
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.

Re: 2016 ZX10R
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....
