IMHO, I prefer the new Kawasaki styling over the next generation Honda styling.  I was hoping the new Ninja 6 would be revised ala the Ninja 10.  Quite pleased.  Quite pleased, indeed!

 
It's not old... it's "classic."

Yeah, it looks more like a Gixxer 750, clean and nice and with a sweet off the tail peg pipe.

I dunno Dr. sprocket the new cbr 600 is quite a looker with some stunning new colors. My slight bias is going towards the Honda though.

Another styling lick from the Japanese. Yawn. The 600/1000 machines from the Orient look so much alike to me I have see the Kawasaki green color, or Yamaha blue or whatever to tell them apart. Plus, they cover everything in sight with gorgeous black plastic. I'll stick with Ducatis, thank you.

Looks good to me on the engine changes and weight reduction, and exhaust can in the right place. (I'd never have a little screamer, myself though).

yeah but the new ZX is an ugly update on an uglier bike. the old R1 was beautiful. the new one isn't as good looking but still much better looking than the new zx6r.
