Default 2010 Kawasaki first look...

Motorcycle daily has a sneak peak at a few of the 2010 Kawasaki models. I'm liking the looks of the new Z1000.

Looks like the Z caught a fishhook in the lip and lost the fight!

digging the z, also like the mild changes to the 10, little bit smoother looking. interesting that they went to an electronically valved ohlins damper. wonder if this one works?

The 110 looks like it is ready for some motard wheels and a stroker kit.
