it looks like a gixxer

The new FZ looks tight as fuck.

near as I can tell the intakes are literally to the outside edge of the headlights. this bike looks like a totally fucking sick beast that will just straight up RIP for street and track use.
do those dual projectors in there kinda remind anyone else of the XB12 firebolt in a way?

The regular FZ is unchanged. The FZR....nahh, don't like it. They went back to the older square swingarm, no undertail exhaust and a smaller rear tire. Not exactly "R" rating in my opinion

It looks like it's raising it's eye brows.

I'll wait until I see one in person and actually sit on it/ride it before making judgement. I'm interested to see what the mags say about it when testing it also.

I'm not crazy about the initial pics BUT it may grow on me.

I didn't care for the C6 Z06 when it first came out but now I want one.
