If you look long enough it sort of grows on you.

I like that a lot... if that actually get released, looks like that when released and I fit on it without killing my knee to much then I would consider it.

How much is it going to cost? the website doesn't say but it dos have a picture from a less flatering angle...

I have ZX6R B1H (the best version) and still have 0 points after 16 mths of owning it, but it is a beast and will chew you up if you do not respect it.

Yeah, I was referring to a sports kwak in Reeders possession though

Obviously you're a more sensible rider, or atleast sensible when it matters

edit: mind you have you seen the speeds the 2011 gsx-r 6 can achieve (almost 180mph on the clocks): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FslaVtOPM4

I've had my 04 ZX doing 175 mph and it is 99% accurate because I have fitted a speedo healer, believe me it's scary as hell.

What is it with these manufacturers putting fairings and silly bits of plastic on naked bikes?

Scary enough doing 135 on an SV to be fair...I do wonder sometimes whether I should just stay with the SV indefinitely...I think ultimately I will want something with more poke low down but will not want any more top end than an SV can give....

BTW, I watched a few Tuono vids on youtube last night, the acceleration of that thing is very very scary!

Looks to me like something they've done to support/semi-hide the air scoops, original look though...not sure I like it but I am sure I could get used to it

Its not scary at all... on an sv with bouncy suspension and small brakes maybe but on a bike built for it it's not. What is scary is how slow it feel when you get back down to 70mph lol
