Question Zx8?

Ive heard rumors that kawasaki is kicking around the idea of producing an 800cc production machine, is this true?! I HOPE!

You already ride a ZX6R, so a jump to 800cc bike wouldn't be that a big change. I'd personally do a more significant jump; like into the liter class. If Kawasaki is toying with the idea, it's probably an attempt to challenge the Suzuki GSX-R 750 market.

It's a "make believe" bike. A "what would it look like if they did it" bike. It's all photoshop and make believe specs. On top of it all, they had the zx7r and discontinued it. The only one still making a 750 is suzuki and I hear they may not be around all that much longer either.
