Not to mention you cannot get the best hard bags in the world on a ZX-10.

hopefully something better than in the past. the marketing out here leaves a lot to be desired for many models.

If they want to compete with the japanese they've got the right hardware but they'd better do some re-styling.

Interesting pics, but they could be traveling at 20mph...so what does this mean, other than a K and a busa were seen in close proximity?

Staged photo shoot. Nothing more. Marketing playing games while they are the only ones with access to the new beast. In a year it will all be passe and marketing will be off on another tangent.

If I were in Marketing and had taken that photo, the BMW would have been in the lead.
