For a second I thought that that was stateside, having recently seen picks of one at a bike show.  But then I realized that Diamond Lady posted picks of one (and she lives in Italy).


Yeah.  That is sweet.  Looks like it is made out of recycled Batman suits.

I've seen one at the local dealership, it seems to be as good as it looks.

That seals it then...we'll never see it in the U.S.   :roll:

We're all about inferior products at inflated prices.

Looks like a Cylon raider that smashed into a Moto Guzzi!

That looks pretty sweet. I like the fake plastic-y look it has.

although looking at that rear shock I guess those who buy it will be looking for a replacement like we do :roll:

they're saying it's going to be (basically) a scaled down K5 or K6 GSXR600...makes it a lot more interesting...if it does well I'd be willing to be the bandit 650 won't hang around...

I have to admit - that's a pretty muscular looking bike - the intigrated turn signals are a nice touch.

I really like the headlight.  I think a GS would look nifty with one.  Hmm, I wonder if anyone's done the GSX-R headlight as JS mentioned?  I didn't see anything in the archives...

Dear Roadstergal,

I would really like you to purchase the Suzuki GS600-R for me. I've been watching and admiring you for a long time now, and I have chosen you to be my sugar momma / wife. I think you a the most beautiful roadster gal in all the land. I look forward to our future together when we can make roadsterbabies. <smoochies>

Love,
subc

ps - your avatar makes me blush

I think it's FUGLY...but that's just my opinion....I'm not into the BMW K1200R either (which this looks a lot like).....I prefer a bit more color....the integrated front turn sigs don't do it for me....and I much prefer a side mounted pipe then an undertail.....Jjust for starters....


.....but if you like it, hey.....then buy all means....

Grrr....that bike looks aggressive.  If bikes were cats, then this one would be the lion.

If dorks were cats, you'd be a lion too, bub.

It looks like a scaled down version of the B-king concept because it is what has come of the B-King. This is the basically production model. Not as cool, but perhaps much more useable.

We can all thank Suzuki for reviving the naked sportbike with the sv650.  Now naked is fashionable.  Z1000, fz1, yzf600 or something, truimphs, it's all good.  that 650 would be a real eye catcher over here -I bet it would take business away from the sv though.
