Looks better than the Honda

luvtolean · 09-10-2007, 11:45 AM

Funny, I like the looks of the Honda better.

This thing looks like a mess.

Bet it has a monster engine in it though.

Prophet · 09-10-2007, 11:54 AM

I saw that last week. Looks a lot better than the Honda but I won't be buying anyhow... so I don't count.

Design looks too busy. I think that bike is screaming for a monotone colour, All green might look better? I love Kwaks, just don't know if I'd ever buy one.

phobe · 09-10-2007, 12:37 PM

Are you sure about that?

I agree. Too many angles all over the place, and those lowers look like a set of shark gills. But I also agree that the powerplant behind them probably rocks. But it's also got that Suzook inspired exhaust that to me is as ugly as homemade sin.

Plus, it's a Kaw, so you know the welds look like bubblegum.

TraumaOne · 09-10-2007, 12:41 PM

Am I sure? Nope... not until wed it looks like.

I like sharkish aesthetics on bikes, but that thing is way too busy to pull it off. And of course, it's still Fresh Prince of Bel-Air green. Two strikes.

ND4SPD · 09-10-2007, 05:37 PM

Does it come with the optional shatter proof wheels or is it standard this year?

Or of course, the super fly generator...that burns up when you hook up your neons. Right kawboy?

I agree but I'm not sure I like it. the "gills" I think are taking away from the looks.

I like the Suzook exhaust, but only on a Suzook. Only Suzook can pull of a short exhaust like that and make it look good. Anyone else is just trying to hard. Can't beat the original.

Btw, this is my unbiased opinion and the fact that I own a K7 600 has absolutely nothing to do with said opinion.

Someone's smoking some bad shit.

I'd prefer the Honda, Ducati, Bimota, MV, Aprilla, Indian, Yamaha, or Suzuki to that thing.
