fuel-injected 4-stroke inline 4
Motorcycledaily.com is known for their photoshop fantasies...looks like a suzuki version of the fz6...but bears no resemblance to the gsxr which it would be based on.
nice looker though.
It needs a round headlight.
It's also in desperate need of a fenderectomy. :?
It's true, http://www.globalsuzuki.com/gsr/index.html although no mention of where all it will be available or prices. Not a bad bike but not really my style....Might be a price thing but I would like to see USD forks and radial calipers on these new "performance" oriented bikes. Makes me wonder what else Suzuki might possibly roll out for this year though :dunno:
wow. pretty impressive. I'm guessing Euro market only.
i want one :(
time to go stand outside the dealer
I like it... but it doesn't have the X in it. No 4 valves per cylinder? Come on! I'm also conflicted about the front turn signals... They remind me too much of the Kawasaki ER-6n. I like the front headlight though.
If one of you guys win the lottery, will you buy me one? :mrgreen:
Yawn. Another high-priced, overstyled, fairing-deprived, middleweight inline 4 (read: another showroom queen set to languish on dealership floors until rebates kick in).
The R&D money could've been better spent overhauling the GS500 for the neglected entry level / lightweight niche.
1st time i saw this i thought its the new bad ass GS...dream on i guess :roll: ...damn i love naked bikes :thumb:
the real questions is: is this bike coming to the us?

Ja, IMO, I-4s are too 'hip' right now. I like twins and thumpers, and they're more practical for street bikes.

nice!
I wish it was a triple. THAT would absolutely make my day.
love it, love it :P
If I could afford one...
Well, the good new is I can't... 'cause if I could, you wouldn't see any more posts from me... 'cause I'd be road paint.
Well, maybe it's good new for you guys. :lol:
I'm getting that "europe only" vibe about this bike myself. Those flush-mounted signals won't pass many US state inspections... so all these pics so far must be for Euro-models.
why do japanese manufacturers ship all the cool nakid bike to europe? :x
that swingarm is bad ass :thumb:
Yeah, no kidding. Why are all the cool bikes there ? Is there a real reason? Is it that the US has like an over all crappy taste in bikes ?? :P :mrgreen: :lol:

I like that up and down style swingarm. A lot like the swingarm r6.
Those turn signals are weird.
The up and down style swingarm is called a Banana-style. It's based off MotoGP bikes.
And the reason that we don't get a lot of the badass bikes is because the mass of American public that purchases motorcycles are finicky. We're not flexible in our tastes. It's typically either full blown sportbike or full blown cruiser. The in between stuff is what the Europeans LOVE. Naked bikes are HUGE over there, and that's why they get a lot more options.
Displacement is another reason we don't get some cool stuff. That's why we don't get the Honda CBR250RR.
That is so f'ing hot. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a US release. :thumb:

you'll have to do more than finger crossing...
Yeah, I seriously wouldn't mind that thing at all. I'd highly consider getting one as my next bike in a year or so.
Those turn signals aer a deal breaker for me. They have to figure out something better to do with 'em.
Remind you too much of Kawasaki's ER-6n?
No, they remind me too much of a car.
But that Kawi's pretty gross.
it's like a flash mount :dunno:
Kinda. It looks alright in profile, but from a 3/4 view, they're too wide and plasticy. It looks like someone put should pads on the bike or something.
Wide = easily viewable. Safety!
Yeah, but they can be wide on stalks, rather than wide on big plastic thingies.
it's more streamline design...least resistance to fluid flow
