I hate the rear end of the new 10R. Kawasaki have really f*cked that up.

Looks orrible from the side and looks orrible from the rear as well.

Funny, I like the rear but I hate the Tree Frog front.

I think I would hate the tree frog front more if I didnt want to rip the back end of that bike and beat it with a big stick for being so damn horrible.

Yes I'd get the 06 ZX-10 personally if I had the money but there are newer models of other bikes out next year so I'd have to wait and see.

Being realistic about my next bike I would probably get a Gixxer 750 or another 600. I couldn't get on with the lack of top end rush on a V-Twin and I guess if you have the opposite problem with screaming four cylinders then those bikes would be no good for you.

Personally I don't reckon I'd go any quicker on a thou (until I got to 100+) as I can just about use full throttle on the six and keep the front down. Seems daft to pay loads more money to go the same speed but on half throttle with loads of wasted potential. Saying that I'd still want the thou for p*nis extension value but gotta wait for my insurance to come down first.

The bike I would have chosen is a naked SV1K - purely because my back isn't up to clip-ons. Converting the S version - I know throttle cables would need to be replaced, alomg with maybe brake hoses - Is that all I'd need to swap over or are there other issues?

Just read the new 1200cc Ducati will have 916 styling cues.
