It looks like it was made in the mid 90's.
Even all that carbon fiber isn't making it better.
it's just the tail piece is bit fat and boxy other than that its cool

Thanks Capirex for putting them all together. I'm not an Italian designer, I just play one on TV, but obviously Loris' Ducati makes the rest of the machines look like tri-cycles. I'm not really digging the KR bike, but if MotoGP was made into a movie about Mad Max beyond the Thunder Dome, it would win. I'm also not liking the little ... tail section on the Honda. Where are they gonna put the turn signals for Pedrosa?

As bad as the mullet looks on the new honda, the bike looks (gulp!!!) hot!
I like the body work, lower gas tank, and the way the exhaust exits!!!
Hey, I found out who the designed the tire hugger!

Everything else looks the same. Except the KR, well I hope we get to see it often up in or near the front!

Is the Yamaha the test bike or the actual livery for the 2007 season? I love the paint work on the Kawasaki, great shade of green! The Honda looks the same as usual and the Ducati looks great as ever. One thing you can notice straight away from looking at screenshots of these bikes is just how small they actually are and the difference in body work from last era's bikes.

Eat Green! OJ has the hottest set of wheels. That Ducati is same old same old "Look at us we got a wind tunnel!" stuff.
That RCV looks like one of them CBR125 things.

Thanks for puttin' that together Capi
The Honda looks most organic, like it's almost alive, shame about the rear hugger, looks like it belongs on a 1930's Matchless. Yamaha and Suzuki are really trying to lower the COG with those low-hung swingarms, very trick. I think kenny Snr must have designed the fairing on the KR, looks like a 80's bike for sure, that tail unit has gotta go. I'd take the kwak just for the colour.

whoa...... i love those green rims on that kawa. I'd take that bike anyday purely for the aesthetics...
the duke looks .... like a toy. Seems to have a bubble like form ... i like the sharper lines on the other bikes, not the rounded thing.
what happened to the KR bike? it looks like it got hit by an ugly stick

Nice one Capirex, call me old fashioned, but I think the KR looks ace! I think it has that early 90s GSXR/FZR look.
The back end of the Honda looks mingin! Too pointy for me.
And of course get some speed blocks on the Yam, Black with Red and white speed blocks please, like Barry's Akai Yam!

Ive just noticed, Ducati have dug out the old Paso bodywork for their bike...or is it the fairing from an old jelly mould CBR?

Well you can be sure the guys at Duct-tapi have spen time in their much-loved wind tunnel again.
I like the aerodynamics of the Honda, it might not look good, buit you can tell they've put a lot more thought into it than they did on the 990.

oh yeah, Checa got to ride it didn't he? Sounds like we need to watch that space on the track. It doesn't really matter as it ain't the Worlds Prettiest Bike Contest after all. I'm sure that KR did what they did for functional reasons whereas all the other bike manufacturers are looking to get some of their designs on road bikes. I do very much like the Kawaka green, it really is nice. The Factory Hondas look the dogs. The Duke looks mean. I don't like the Yams but so what. But Yeah, if the KR is better than the RCV then should be really interesting to see how KRJr does this season, especially if they are not playing catch up for the first few races. I can't wait!

In my humble opinion, you have to go back to the NSR to see a really good lookin Honda. And bein a stroker, its much more up my street.
I stand by my opinion, I think the KR looks ace, I like the Yam, but we need to see some colours to get the full picture. I'm sure Ducati and Honda have worked on the aerodynamics, but I think the Ducati looks like a 750 Paso and the Honda looks like a bottle opener at the back.
Still, lookin at the test results, nobodys gonna see the back of the Honda apart from the mechanics!
