So if Suzuki has a full fairing on their new 500...can we expect the Kawasaki to finally make the change over to a full fairing as well? Can we not expect something even a shade better in aerodynamics due to the advantages found in the ZX-10R...even over the ZX-6R? I'd like to see Kawasaki or even Suzuki go to a better fairing on a 250...perhaps EFI...maybe an ECU...so that they could enter racing and make the bike something besides a "GIrls Bike", or a great learners bike...allthis really upsets me...the bike has real potential, but the majority of the 5-600 riders put it down. When I finish mine with stock nothing, I'd be happy to show a few people just what a bike can do on the circuit. None of this street racing where people can get hurt. I'd like to see 17" tires on the 250R, but at $1,200.00 it just wouldn't be fair to the 500's. The new 600's have some great weight advantages at 355lbs...they may be tough to beat on anything but really tight and twisty tracks. stay short, stay light and stay on the throttle...lean like there is no tomorow...
