well i hope they go aggressive, lightweight, def more power atleast 115whp to kick some 600 *** and show the rest of the 600's who's boss.. as far as looks hopefully there isnt to much change the 07/08 have sexy lines, exhaust wise il take either or moto-gp or undertail, but hopefully they come out with what i heard on speed-channel vvti, variable cam adjustment baby!!! c'mon kawi build what we know you can and please bring out the zx8r!!! to kick some gixxer 750 ***!!!

no vvti, honda is releasing that because they have proven it for the past 20 years. they were the first company to hit the 100hp per liter mark and they did it with vtec.

saying that i think it is still a ways off for kawi, they need years and years of testing on something like that, they dont want to be in the middle of the biggest race of the year and fry a cam.

One would think that Kawi would take the ZX-6 in the same direction as this year's ZX-10, possibly cutting the bike down to be much more sharp around the edges and aggressive looking.

Personally I'm still in love with the looks of the '07 and '08 ZX-6's, but I do have a feeling that their looks will be totally redesigned for 2009.

shows what the french know lol. the 07's and 08's are kick *** bikes. they are a little overweight but that's mostly due to the exhaust. why don't they shut up and go drive a LE CAR and be done with it.

I hope they don't model the new zx6r after the zx10. The zx10 IMO is the ugliest bike ever made and kawi lost my buisness when they came out with it. However I would not be surprised if they did model the 6 after the new 10.

ok merdox, i agree with you i really hate the look of the new 10, the only thing that does it for me is the potential of what it could look like.

imagine for a minute,
drop the mud gaurd/licence holder
paint it a differnt single color, (not black and green two tone)
remove the mirror turn signals
vynal eyelids on the headlights
solo seat cowl.


i will do some photoshop tonight to let you see what im talking about, the potential of that bike is infinite however the starting point leaves much to be desired

Yea if you do some photoshop post it up. If I had to pick something on the 10 that bothered me the most it would have to be the front end where the head lights are. They look like a retarded cross eyed bug
