That subframe is crazy and the bolt holes on the left where the preload adjuster is mounted seems to indicate it will come stock with dual cans.
R1 swingarm and if you chop the nose off and round it to a stubby curve, it'll look EXACTLY like a CRB1000RR to me... Having said that, I love the CBR in race trim, so it's not a bad thing.
Looks Killer, lets hope the thing has a motor & handles worth a shit! I will wait for the race/test results! Thanks for posting the pics though, they are sweet!
Interesting swingarm and shock mount design. I wonder what the linkage looks like. It would be nice to see Kawi bring a proper big bike to the races.
Hmm, I was excited when the 2010 version came out and was disappointed in their WSBK results. The current generation seems to work well in more superstock spec than full superbike. Maybe the change in development philosophy will garner some better results.
That sh*t is like KAWA-PORN. I love the soulful wail of an I-4 and the completely inaudible noise of a wet clutch.
Might be disappointed. I think its been said that it doesn't have an even firing order. I think its a true big bang motor.
