i just saw pics of the 2006 ZZR-1300. They said its to go against the Busa with 190 RWHP. Whats everyones opinion?

is the zx-12 going away?

i think it is TERRIBLY ugly, but if it follows kawasaki's recent trends it will be an azz-kicker for sure!

Would be interesting to see which 13 will take the crown.

That bike is awful looking. I hope they don't get rid of the zx12r

I suspect they're going to merge the ZX12R and ZZR into the new ZZR1300 model. There's already too much overlap between the current ZX12R and the ZZR1200; neither are full-on supersports (too big), but the ZZR makes a better sport-tourer than the ZX12R.

Personally, I absolutely love my '02 ZZR1200, and I'm looking forward to the new model. I just hope it does NOT go more in the ZX12R direction - there's already a huge selection of uncomfortable torture racks out there; I hope they keep the ZZR in the big, fast, comfortable GT niche that it currently inhabits.

It is not any more ugly than the busa. I am sure they will dress it up some before it hits the states. It is a total different bike than the 12, I don't see why they would get rid of the 12. But who be I to say, anyways?
