Dont forget the 10R is the daddy.

more like grand daddy its that far behind the rest of the uber bike class.

lets hope the 08 10r fares a little better eh....

Far behind, lolsss. Only someone who rides a 125 could think that.

come on, where are they in any road test, rider feedback is poor, second hand values are rubbish and there race performances are pathetic......


problem is the most recent (twin can model) is not as sweet handling as its predecessor.

even hawk kawasaki and astro superstock teams both commented on the fact that they preferred the previous model. and said they would like the new engine with the old chassis, and it seems kwakasaki agreed, look at the o8 model, looks similar to the decent 10r.

that said only those that ride a bike as it is meant too would notice these differences, most wouldnt because they dont/cant ride swiftly and only ride in sunny/dry conditions, and have chicken strips the size of my aunt sally 20st gut.

not getting in any arguments but even the most die hard kwaka fan cannot deny there bike is a bit behind the times.

What is it, the underseat cans or the whole shape?

As for the colour....well, we all know deep down, don't we??!!

[Scrooloose]

It's mainly the cans, it all just looks a bit industrial......

I think that the front looks a bit too wide as well - too many lights!

Yeah, the cans I can see your point. Lights look great IMO.

ps - Love your Cerb.

Thanks - it's a lot of fun, but not quite as much as the bikes.....

Agreed. Done it two years ago. However, being scared of heights didn't help. At times I had coaches up my ar$e trying to get by!!

We're thinking of Italy next year.

I know what you mean. Riding a few feet away from a sheer drop certainly focusses the mind!

most modern bikes look like tuppleware to me

Hooli, that makes you sound like an uninformed car driver. All bikes were modern once, even yours..

John.

it quite possibly does, but i didnt know one bike from another till i started riding & i still have little interest in newer bikes. the plastic rocket look doesnt do it for me.
mind you i cant name many old bikes either, i just prefer the looks.
