I's been in mags galore and around the net and then POOF!

It's like they decided to stop production.

The GSR 600 is well and alive here. ;)
Sweet bike (even though I like the SV and Bandit better), has received lots of appraisal.
At least in my country it's a commercial success (best-selling motorbike 2006), don't know about '07.
Downside...Its reputation has been undermined by purported frame failures, many GSR's have had their chassis broken around the steering, following otherwise negligible crashes. Suzuki (as far as I know), hasn't issued any safety recall.

Saw a B-King a couple of weeks ago, all black, looks like Darth Vader's moto, and it is a BIG a$$ bike!!! Looks like if you push the secret button it will transform into a mini tank or a radio controlled stealth bomber or something. I was really intimidated by it!

Yeah, I wanna be on the waiting list for that 600 too!
