According to the top paragraph its still

and, for Europe only, the Z750 Naked

:cry:

They should have tried to shoehorn the 636 into it instead of a sleaved 1k engine.  I do realize the sleaved 1k engine was the logical (less costly) thing to do but many people think that the jump from 750 to 1000 on insurance is not that much and they will opt for a the larger, faster bike since the overall cost isn't a whole lot more.  A 750 still sounds pretty intimidating to me as a second, "upgrade" bike.

I'm really looking forward to see what Suzuki's got in store for us in '04 with Honda and Yammie bringing us the middleweight nakeds/semi-nakeds :mrgreen:

this is great... the naked bike market is getting really hot!  i wish more would come with no fairing at all though.

if you guys haven't seen the honda 919, there is a 600cc (hornet 600) version available in europe.  wouldn't be suprised if we saw that over here in the next few years.

The hornet is here for 2004 called the 599. There was a post on it here like yesterday.
