I cannot stand these fugly new shapes of standard exhausts, I find them quite hideous.
Nothing that can't be changed though.
I do like the confused styling, and I'd imagine it's rather rapid too.

I dunno slim....bit of a fazer clone aint it.

Im pretty sure it'll be foccin rapid.

But with speed comes more chance of getting pissed off by one o these new mobile jobs.

I like that. But what have we been building for years?

Sports bike with Renthals on! Aaaaand the manufacturers have finally caught on! Amazing......

Eh. Fairing looks like it had an accident with a heat gun. Inspire me it does not.

I quite like it, wouldn't fancy being a pillion on it though.

Nothing about its looks appeal to me... no big surprise there though

JoeRock · « **Reply #8 on:** 24 November 2014, 09:18:12 pm »

That is one ugly mo-fo bike, at least from the side

devilsyam · « **Reply #9 on:** 24 November 2014, 09:19:41 pm »

im sorta thinking that bike should be cheaper supplied without the exhaust as most of us bin them or have stacks of them in the back of the garage

Dead Eye · « **Reply #10 on:** 24 November 2014, 09:24:39 pm »

That's actually not a bad idea...

Unfortunately, I imagine it would be some sort of breach of some random EU regulatory body due to emissions or some other crap

Sure it will be a cracking ride but it looks dated to me

New yes,different ? well these sit up bikes,,not retro,they are different again, these sit up bikes have been around for a while, I like the Fzs1000, Nicks was a superb example,Kwaks done them,Triumph too,,

You got to agree they are never going to be very different from each other,,i for one insist my bike has a front fairing,,i may change with the next bike though,,but I think I need it.

I for one do like new design,modern looks, I think mt Fz1 is quite modern looking but hen thenext bike comes along

I like the BMW but no fairing,,the Kwak does, I like it,,,

I will see if this Suzuki is at the NEC,.

If I were to changebike next winter,, a year from now,,i certainly will xonsider a newer Fz1s,i like them..then there is all them others

Dead Eye · « **Reply #14 on:** 25 November 2014, 04:25:11 pm »

Wow, I would have thought it would have a much higher top speed given its power output - not that it would make any difference to me really as I rarely, if ever, would get to that speed. I imagine it might affect a buyer if they were looking to put it round a track though

Crap article I'm afraid, it also says the S1000RR has a top speed of 124mph.
Not a chance this new bike will be that slow

BIG MAC · « **Reply #16 on:** 25 November 2014, 05:45:50 pm »

Would look better with a proper seat and tailpeice

BBROWN1664 · « **Reply #17 on:** 25 November 2014, 05:50:27 pm »

Looks a little to heavy on the wrists at low speed but keep the speed up and that wont be a problem.

taylor · « **Reply #18 on:** 25 November 2014, 09:39:03 pm »

not for me.

J_Dub · « **Reply #19 on:** 26 November 2014, 10:33:08 am »

I like it, though I doubt my bank balance would.

Suzuki have lost the plot with their bike styling these days, mind you so have others!

I like the unfaired version saw it at the bike show

If you like that styling then i'd be swayed more towards the Tuono, even with that munter of a headlight.

I actually quite like that version. I think the colour scheme goes a long way towards that. But "a street-tuned version" of the GSXR1000 - will this mean they've clipped it's wings too much, like many have done in the past?
