It doesn't look like it's been kicked in the face. We're off to a good start Honda.

I think it looks like the current generation with pointy-er headlights and air intakes.

Honda knows marketing...Pointy sells.

This. Likely no substantial mechanical changes. Probably the same frame.

Thanks guys, at least now I know I'm not crazy.

I said the same thing on our local board.

Half the population there jizzed in their pants over the "sexy new design".

Its attractive...still prefer the zed though. Nice to see bpf and a digital dash though. Looks racy

That paint scheme looks like they ripped off my fiddy design which rips off BMW enduro bike racing schemes.

Am I the only one that is slightly skeptical about thisvideo? This isnt a honda product and the bike looks 95% like the previous version and its from hong kong, king of the bike body kits.

The only thing that stands out as being really different is teh dash which could be a one off piece from someone who knows electronics.

If it is real then cool beans

It looks like it has some minor differences in the stills posted on the website. A fake still would not surprise me though.

LOVED the look of the last gen 1000rr. I really liked the kicked in the face look.

What really stands out in the video for me is the 1,000,000th time I've had to hear the inception soundtrack and makes me think of this...

This. It grew on me.


The new headlights look like the 1000rr had sex with either the Ninja 1000

Or the Chevy Cruze... :lol:

Looks like someone wadded up their pre 2011 ( they switched to silver frames ) and tossed on some aftermarket parts.

I like the 2011 ZX10r much better.

Honestly, all these Jap bikes look the same. It's discussing whether a hamburger or turkey burger looks better. These bikes are about function, not looks.

Disagree, the GSXR has had it's own unique look for the last 5 years..........And I'm not saying it's a great look...........It looks like an extrusion from a Wendy's frosty machine. My 05 is better IMO.

I 100% disagree. If you are buying a bike for the streets, look has to come into your buying decision. Your not going to buy a piece of shit on wheels. And besides, if we are talking function, you are never going to get within anywhere near what the bike was designed for on the streets. And these bikes are almost all the same anymore anyway, so pick the ergos and color you like best.

Sure, if you are racing the bike, who the fuck cares what it looks like. Can i go faster on it? :slide:

I like the current gsxr1000, and the last gen 600 with the bird wing lights. Not saying I'd ever buy one. But I hate the new 600 with a passion.

Well you have to be riding track speeds on the street. redflip Remember, a small road course IS like a track. You can deciper good vs. so so good suspension once you begin to push it hard. Not to mention, good suspension will soak up bumps better and keep the front and rear tracking each other.

As far as the ZX10r vs 1000rr (2011), the 10r has a slipper clutch, launch control, traction control and it looks better.

Better dash too. I still see no shift light on the cbr

Eh, fuck shift indicators, I'm not a racer. It's the gear indicator I want. Are gixxers still the only bikes with gear indicators, or did the others finally add them?

I am a racer, and I want both.

My '06 675 had both as has each Triumph I've had since then.

I know the ZX6R has a gear indicator and I'm pretty sure the big CBR does too (I haven't ridden a CBR 600 lately).

the kawi and the new cbr both have gear indicators. I recently put my Raptor shift light on the 954 and set it a few rpm short of fuel cut. Its amazing how hard it was to use the top of the powerband with the stock tach. besides, at the speeds bikes can produce the last place i want my eyes is the gauges
