have you guys seen this ? I think it`s really ugly and you could put "Kawasaki" on it as it actually looks like one.

I have to disagree.
I think only the colour is ugly (on white she'd look better), besides that bike (a 1098 without fairings) is made to be heavily customized by its owners.

I think the black could look very nice with the usual Italian red highlights done just right

If someone want picture from that red version in very high quality, or from Bayliss replica, please send email to me: finnpaso@gmail.com

I dont put fotos to any internet sites, so only way is to send @mail to my private mailbox.

Those are very high quality fotos, so i can send only one picture / one @mail! :thumbup:

Anyway that red version looks much better, than black one (for my eyes!!!)

Oh Please,that's just pure ducatista snobbery, obviously they had some design connection, and there is always a reason to respect a kawasuki z if for no other reason than it just passed you in your favorite corner while you day dreamed of a set of new pirelli's :fart: :thumbup: :beer: rotflmao

I traded my old 900ss in on one of these MONSTERS. Yes, Kwaka Monster. Just point it where you want it to go,.....
crack the throttle and bloody well hang on.

Great in the city....crap touring.

The one thing I love about streetfighteres is/was that they had so little on them, more of a modern day cafe racer and what was on them was there for a purpose - to go faster, turn quicker, stop faster, look quicker!

My 95 Monster was just that without all the pretty bits and even then I still had to cut a few bits off and yes it did looked even better afterwards.

Now they are mass produced and full of clutter and crap so basically just any other bike.

That red frame and swing arm is sweet. It looks kind of like a candy apple color.
