New test and video for the new Kawasaki.

Autopolis Test August 4th and 5th

 

I know, why do I keep bringing this up?
Well, my first bike was a KZ, I have always had a KZ since I got my license and I have had as many as 5 KZs at one time.
Yes, I am a Kawasaki fan and I would like to see them competitive in WSBK (and all others).
There, I said it.

Now...


And more Wallpaper to be had: Wallpaper

And more hype by Kawasaki:  2011 WSB Racer Movie

Cool...a green S1000RR! 

j/k...actually looks decent.

Kawaski for some reason is always considered as whatever brand for some reason,
however when they decide to bring it, they bring it fierce.
im excited about this.

looks really good!

I guess we'll see in serious launch how real this machine is in a couple of months...

Here's some poop on the new ZX-10R...

I thought they had found a way to put some lightening holes in the frame to make it more competitive.

Oops! Looks like a MAJOR recall on the new ZX-10R! Recalling all unsold bikes and offering a full refund for any sold bikes. That doesn't sound good. Like you just can't bring it back to the dealer for the "fix"?? Your option is a full refund. Jeepers, that's serious shit.

Wonder if my local Kawi/Suzook shop sold the new one they let me roll out. Just happened to be visiting the other week when they finished assembling the first one and they let me roll it onto the showroom floor. Got to sit on it and really liked the feel of it. Seemed small like a 600. It was a black one which made it look smaller. Liked the zero graphics on the black one and the mirrors are mounted lower on the upper fairing which really improved the rear view.

Wonder what the recall problem is. Must be a big one!

Perhaps has a similar problem to Pedrosa's Honda. 

OK, being the bottom feeder/mouth breather that I am I am missing what is an obvious reference to Pedrobot and his Honda. Help the helpless with an explanation. Thanks!

Puig: "Dani, we've updated the software for the 'fly by wire' throttle, go try it out.'
Pedrosa: "OK, dad."

Pics like that are always my favorite Pedrobot pics. Sorry, don't mean him any actual physical harm. Just saying.

  Yeah, but those could be fixed with duct tape at the dealer!
