I LOVE that they got rid of the black lower. That's been my hugest beef with their design since they phased out the monochromatic schemes from the 03/04 636. Those are some damn sexy bikes. I may have to reconsider buying a 999 in favor of picking up an 07 10R...maybe...eh...I'll probably still go with the Duc...maybe...lol
EDIT... since the photos are from Raptors and Rockets (just noticed that), and they ARE in a show room floor before Kawi introduced the 07 models, I'm guessing there's a HUGE chance that they're just 06 10R's that were repainted by a dealer, and some assfuck sent them to R&R...that's the problem with them, you could send them a picture of a bowl full of monkey shit, and tell them it's the new R1, and they'd post it, breaking news, all over their site. They have no journalistic drive at all. They just post what people send them, and pretend like it's real. :/
