I must admit I like the new R1, but I'll wait for the 2008 ZX10R that will be a killer.... ;-)



I hope B-)

Look at the 6R, update every 2 years. The 2007 10R only has new (and nicer) colours so I suspect the 2008 10R will be 'new' 

And looking at the 2007 ZX6R (which imho looks much better than the 05/06) the 08 10R should be good thumbu

Sorry I was talking kawa....

Yes have seen those pics (and some from the Intermot show in Germany) and I must say this is the first R1 I actually like a lot thumbu

But I just don't like bikes that everyone wants....over here we call the R1 the Vauxhall Astra, you see em on every corner.... :lol:

can hear the sales rep bollocks already: '6 cylinder brakes for improved feel, harder MotoGP style braking, better control and less wear'

so I'll be wanting the 6pot brakes from my old Zx6R back then :sleepy2:
