Is that "your word", N-word Peacock?

Normally the great unwashed think a fud is - A dull sound, as that of a heavy object striking a solid surface, misspelt.

Just looking at it now, there's sticky out and then there's sticky out...

How utterly boring...

Perhaps if they had used the un-even firing order, used the MotoGp fairing style and pushed it out a little we could get a little excited.

I'm not sure a 200bhp motorcycle can ever be called 'boring', regardless of execution.

Blah blah blah and something about being retarded.

That or you're Rossi.

... I am probably Rossi and also fking Yawning with it.

This bike has done nothing to excite me.

ZX10R
R1
RSV4R
S1000RR
Panigale all flavours

... make this bike look st. The spec reads st.

I'm a suzuki fan too... yet somehow I expected more.

[Prof Prolapse]

Yup.

Fewer rider's aids on paper. Funny headlamp. Rubbish colours. Boring st.

Come on mate, you don't think you may be over reacting a bit? I don't know what you were expecting but Suzuki hasn't produced a market leading product in what, a decade? Now this is most competitive one!

Besides I don't think any of us can say too much until the road testing starts.

[Renn Sport]

Lol.. mate I dont think Suzuki have committed a crime here. So, I'm not outraged by this effort, just very dissappointed in a very sedate British type of way.

I just think they could have pushed the boat out in terms of design. Look at what they are doing in MotoGP.
Awesome looking bike... cross plane firing order.

Why couldnt we have some of that? Look at the fairing... my Fireblade is better looking and its an old 13' Honda!

[moanthebairns]

I like it. There I said it.

[Prof Prolapse]

I would be very confident the answer to all of your points and many more will be cost. Both R&D costs, and costs to the consumer, they need to avoid pricing it too highly and falling in the crosshairs of the better established superbikes.

[moanthebairns]

id imagine it will be £500 cheaper than the nearest litre bike as has been stated. When they inevitably don't shift, a rather attractive 0% APR scheme will come out.

To be honest though, the brand in general is a bit st just now compared to the rest, its quite staggering looking at the range and thinking, at no point do I want a gaydius, a blandit or a inzumba. Every bike you look at the only reason you can think you'd choose that is because its cheap or because you haven't bothered to try anything else.

Gixxer!!!!

[Renn Sport]

The only Suzuki's that float my boat are..

GSXR 750 awesome track bike.

Hayabusa as its an icon.

B-King

V-Strom 1000 as its competent, cheap and characterful. I just like it... not having even ridden it.

[BigHeartedTone]

Its going to be an exceptional bike, in the same way all litre bikes are exceptional.

Whether it floats your boat more or less than others will be down to a whole load of subjective crap.
