Scoop: Genuine 2008 Kawasaki ZX-10R official image

PROBABLY the most anticipated bike of 2008; the Kawasaki ZX-10R.

The biggest visual change for this bike is the switch back to a single, side-mounted exhaust. Proof that manufacturers do listen to consumer feedback and perhaps the end of marketing-led 'mass centralisation'?

It certainly looks the part, I'd have one on looks alone over the new 2008 Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade.

Back to the iconic and mean ZX-10R of 2004 and you'll be able to see and sit on this bike at this year's NEC Motorcycle Show, from the 23rd of November to the 2nd of December.
