i searched around and havent seen one of these yet. we know the past model zx6r has been around for 3 years, so it should be time for a over haul...hopefully. what would you like to see on next years zx6r? what colors do you want to see? whose looking at picking up a new one when they come out?
alright heres what i want....
bring back orange, or make factory white available in the U.S....i demand it
would like to see a different front end, not a fan of the wasp look
BRING BACK THE UNDERTAIL EXHAUST(gonna catch flak for that one....)
adjustable rear sets would be nice
sell it with a seat cowl instead of a seat...or atleast make that an option.
bi-xenon headlights would be cool, no more riding around with the brights on the avoid the one eyed look.
Ohlins suspension would be a nice addition as well
what is everyone else looking forward to?

I'm with you on a lot of stuff I don't like where the 14r took a trim either this year
Im not a fan of the wasp look as well
White would be killer and the orange
Even more comfy for a racer style of settings
Deff want bright ass LEDs on it
I'm not a fan of the side exhaust either I felt like that made the zx stand our more

I saw some leakage on 150rr for 2013 kawasaki but nothing on zx6r or 10r.
Changes:
My biggest #1 is Pearl Blazing Orange and Snow White colors!
Would like to see a Special Edition model for all zx6-14.
More accessories for the zx ninjas
I kind of like the head unit, but then again its been the same for 3 years now.
LED's would be cool... maybe different Tachometer

I love to see new head light design. I cant stand the 07-2012 6r design. :/ For some reason it reminds me of a retarded bumblebee or something...kawasaki should seriously look at the 1199 headlights and then just smack themselves in the face. Absolutely Gorgeous.
I think honda nailed thier headlights perfect and the r6. The new r1 headlights look horrible. And dont even get me started on the gsxr headlight.
For the exhaust, Id like to see undertail come back too but I doubt it will. Side looks great too though. I always thought side mount looks more racey and the undertail just look clean as hell

probably just end up with the same looking model with a bit of electronic trickery thrown in and a colour/graphic change.
i want an 800cc version.... it would be ideal |

if they were smart they would incorporate the body style and the traction control of the zx10r to the 6r. then add on a race tunable exhaust with removable baffles, magnesium wheels, full ohlins suspension w/ lateral rear shock, brembo brakes, SS lines, some type of race clutch w/ stiffer springs, single side rear swingarm (ducati style), fiberglass fairings, independent headlights (not one pc.), blinkers in the headlight housing and integrated tail, some type of programmable ECU w/ multi mode, a vehicle down sensor override, better axles (titanium would be nice), better rear wheel adjusters, high flow air filter, relocation of oil filter, relocation and smaller rear brake res., larger single rotor up front (buell style), galpher wave rear, and adjustable rearsets, without engine work, should save about 40-60 lbs of weight over stock.
engine work, perfect balanced crankshaft, wedge rods, titanium piston pins with forged pistons, portmatched intake and exhaust, nic - acil coated cylinders, titanium gearbox, larger gapped rings, nic-acil coated titanium valves, decked head (5mm), larger water pump gear and blades, taller but slimmer radiator (RC51 style), lighter crankshaft controlled oil pump, lipo battery.
just a few ideas... |

white would be sick to be available in the US
I like the wasp look lol and the 1 headlight makes every non rider ask the question" You know you have a headlight out" 
Definitely a seat cowl would be cool
800cc would be insane haha be like the ktm350sx

Undertail exhaust...... Useless. It puts weight in one of the worst places possible. I'm trying to figure out how I can switch to a side exit exhaust on my '05 racebike.
Traction control would be nice.
