NinjaNick Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Probably was a new rider waiting to take the MSF course. Sat on one Saturday at the dealer. Torture rack, but damn pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InyaAzz Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I have a Kaw..owned a Yamaha...The turn signals on that bike are missing velcro. You can not tell me that those things look nice at all...they look like clip ons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 so do the ones on my 636 but i havent changed them. i have owned honda product as well and i almost bought an r6 when i was buying my bike. but sitting side by side the fit and finish of the zx6 was way way better than the yamaha. imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 i like the ZX6...and I love the new 250.I just think they made a major asthetic snafu with this new zx10. i went to the IMS, and even the Kaw rep said everyone hated it. Hell, HE hated it.Now, looks arent everything..and it's been getting nice ass reviews..but I will definately pass on this production cycle.To each his own, of course. but the people who like it are in the minority on this bike...judging from the IMS and from Kaw reps themselves.

kawi kid Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 o i agree most def. like you said the people who like it are in the minority. funny you bring up the 250 i agreee i love it. my friend ordered his like a month ago and it was shipped out of japan last week and they were hoping to have it at the dealership, but to everyone's disappointment it was a no show as of saturday. but being the good friend i am like always.... i made him feel so much better by letting him know that if a motorcycle was to get "lost in the mail" his luck would take him that far! lol:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't feel comfortable with her doing that (she dropped one of mine getting it out of the garage). I told her to look at the 250 after reading a review of it. granted, kaw needs some help in the color and styling dept. She wasn't thrilled with the colors, but it was the only bike she was comfortable on. She's getting the all black one. They nailed the redesign in the 08's. the older ones look like retarded scooters (nothing against scooters).The 250 is Kaw's best selling bike! Shoot, at $3500 it's a no brainer.

psyco1 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 For the most part the 10's fine with me, it's just that ugly-ass bullhorn tailpipe. WTF were they thinking when they designed that? If I wanted a blunderbuss on a bike I'd install one on the upper, pointing forward to get the idiots out of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I don't worry about pipes because I always buy aftermarket. Now the mirrors aren't great, I agree, but I still think it's a hot bike.It's a bike for little people though. I sat on it and I felt like I could pick it up and carry to my car. Too small.

The fit and finish was better on the KAW.? I HATE yamaha, and I will admit that their fit is finish is as good if not better than any other japanesse brands.The dealer must have done the finishing assembly with a hammer.

kawi kid Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 no joke the r6's pannels didn't line up as well and i really didnt like the gapping holes down below the bars. the 636 has the black pieces there but the r6 u can see the back of the headlights. i just didnt like that it looked cheap to me. but thats my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockybalboa Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I respect your opinion.Most people like the fit and finish on yamahas,coulda just been that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 thanks. it was an 06 raven black one. the color could have had effect on it also but i was not impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 The 08 has been getting good reviews..looks non withstanding. I'm right with it in performance though..thanks to a Muzzy M10, PC III and TRE.ZX-14 Calipers come on sometime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
