What do you all think of this one??? Here is some info on it:

Probably the most radical machine of the show has yet to turn a wheel under its own power. The ZZR-X is Kawasaki's forward-looking concept bike that combines advanced technology, super-sport potential and touring capability. "This is the ultimate high-speed tourer,” reads the Kawasaki press material. “The future of supersport touring."

The ZZR-X features hub-mounted steering that uses a two-pronged aluminum swingarm actuating a shock absorber instead of the ubiquitous telescopic fork. Handlebars sweep through the area that looks like a fuel tank; the actual tank is placed near the center of the bike. Perimeter rim-mounted disc brakes are fitted to both wheels.

Touring amenities include a shaft drive hidden inside the aluminum rear swingarm, an adjustable-rake, flip-up windscreen and a large storage area in front of the seat. Kawasaki doesn’t mention any details about the ZZR-X’s engine, but it’s safe to say there will be ample power if the bike is ever built. The rear seat cowl flips up into a backrest, probably to keep the passenger from flying off at 186 mph."

Its funny to see how we are responding to the pics of this bike and a few others saying that for the most part that we don't like them. I can bet and be 110% sure that looking at how bikes were made 15-20yrs ago the ppl if they saw pics of the bikes we ride today they would have said the same thing we are saying. This is common in almost everything there is. We are used to one thing and when change comes along it is hard to do it. We get so used to it one way we don't want anything new or different. But the funny thing is that it will be like thoses bikes in 10-15 yrs from now and maybe even sooner. :D
