Seeing that Yamaha is bringing out the FZ6, Honda is introducing the 599 (what a stupid name, btw....919 also....just call it the Hornet) and Kawasaki is introducing a Z750, I can't imagine that Suzuki would leave a niche unfilled.

Unless SV650 sales are so stellar that they're not concerned with the possibility of some people saying "Yeah, but I don't want a twin..."

It couldn't be a whole lot of engineering to tweak the frame and suspension and stuff in the last generation GSX-R600 motor.

Any opinions?

Rumor has it that they are working on a totally redesigned Bandit family.

Time will tell...

I've heard rumors of a naked GSXr 600 and 1000. My guess is that this would replace the current/former bandit lineup.
