New KR Bike revealed in MCN this week

I've been wishing for a nice black gp bike..............but this just doesnt cut it for me I'm afraid.

You can still see the carbon layers (presume thats what the grooves are?) and it makes the finish look nasty imo.............make it a sexy smooth shiny finish, get a few more sponsors and it will look alot nicer.
 
it looks a bit................................. retro

agree...i don't like it, maybe after paint?
 
looks like a superbike of the early 90's, look's aint everything tho, im going to wait a see how it goes before i pass judgement.
 
The bike looks blooming lovely in the flesh. The best looking part of the whole bike is Honda's fuel injectors, very sexy - Ho christ I'm sad.....

I think this bike is beautiful, it looks un-fussy and retro in a really kool kinda way. But i think it wont look as good with a paintjob on it, i love bare carbon bodywork.
 
I dont like it at all.The tail looks to retro.They should have displayed a finished product(paint wise).....LOL
 
Looks alittle odd to me. Maybe its the high upright nose and windshield. I think they need to consult the Italians on design next time. Either way, Im rooting for KR all the way.

I agree. BTW Wellcome to the site.

Sorry, still not convinced. The tail looks unique but seems something they would have presented at the 1969 world's fair. Either way, I hope we see it at the podiums this year.
 
The style says 80s early 90s GSXR to me. I like it, it's a good look. Give it a Pepsi or Locky Strike paint job, it would look ace.

Welcome to the site.
 
I have to say i like it.. I like the tail much more than the RC212V's lil piece of sht of a tail, the way it surrounds the exhaust, looks good..

A conspiracy I heard is that the seat is bigger than the Honda because the KR machine is built for Kenny not Dani
