With all the respect to Eboz and the ZX7: The problem is not with the bike.. we all know that Kawa could easily use the new ZX10.
The thing is much deeper - All Japanese firms are dropping their hands from the WSBK and decreasing their appreance at the AMA-SBk.
This, because of the rising importance of the MOTOGP category from one hand and the Super Sport category (600 cc) from the other.
More money in those fields means more money at their pockets from selling "ZX6RR-super-sport-look-a-like" bikes and more money from "GP-look-a-like" bikes.
