Well, the 2016 ZX10 is unveiled today! Any thoughts? It looks very similar to the gen 4 to me

A bit disappointed actually, I was hoping for something a bit more radical. A mini H2R, or something similar.

It just looks kinda the samey...nothing to get the groin area twitching.

Significantly faster than you.....

Enough changes to the engine, suspension and braking to make it sound awesome to me and the looks were bloody good anyway...

With the outgoing model still being so good it can get away with being more of an evolution, and all the changes enhance what was already a very good bike. On paper it looks like they have brought it somewhere inline with the R1 rather than going one larger.

For the same dollar my money would still be on the R1 but if it was only a fraction cheaper I would save some money and not felt like I had compromised. Still love those aggressive looks and will be interested to see how the electronics compare to Yamaha's. Think it's still going to be a good un, only disappointment is that it's not as radical as I hoped for.
