Replacing the ZX10R in WSBK next year.

No factory Kawasaki team anymore, they're now Bimota.

Wonder when we'll see the homologation road bike?

It'll be trick for sure,but I wonder how far off the pace it'll be and since the ZX10R is already an old engine,will it ever be on the pace?

I wonder if as a new manufacturer they'll get some concessions?

More engines, higher rev limit, etc...
