So what's the best super naked currently?

[george formby]

Another random thought. Why not just buy a K8 GSXR1k and just fit a Superbike bar kit to it? Get full power, be upright and have a fairing. Not Naked yes but would be a ton of fun for not many $$$$$

Lots of opportunity there if you don't mind a bit of spannering. I've often fancied a GSXR750 with wide, raised bars and aftermarket pegs. Just for sub warp speed nadgery.

A Gixxer 1000, say K8 with Renthals and low gearing would be epic. Kinda what the GSX-S1000 promised to be.

I have the Tuono 1100 Factory.Awesome bike, 9000ks so far, no problems.

Niccccccccccceeeeee. Is it a 'naked' though? see how non-naked the nakeds are becoming ....


One thing I find a hoot about my Streetfighter is the view from the saddle - a piddly wee instrument cluster down low and nothing! But you can buy a wee screen from Ducati if you are a softie ..

Also ask on the service prices and intervals. I was quite shocked to find out how much cheaper the German bike was to service over the Pommie bike.

[AllanB]

They should all be on 12 - 15,000 service intervals now with every second one (24-30k) a valve check. Annual oil changes yearly if lower kms.

If anyone were to fighter a Gixxer, they'd be mad not to use the K5/6. That's the motor with the massive torque ramp in the middle of the rev range. And a wee tip, Suzuki New Zealand have shit loads of go fast bits for them.

The GSX-S is based on the K6 too.

Didnt that motor carry on until 08? I wouldnt fighter it, would keep the fairings.

I wonder if this GSXR build / modification was ever completed?

The Suzuki Virus mentioned in the post induces a certain amount of drool factor.

Wow now that's what GSX-S1000 should have been!

Out of the four Jap litre bikes Suzuki is inherently the cheapest out of the box. Over heard a high profile bike racer say that ''though the GSXR750 is the best bike for NZ roads GSXR Suzuki's are generally bought by white collar workers''.

Thats amazing.

Too late Rob?

Nah. K7/8 has a stacked gearbox. Different cases and a much smoother motor.

Make no mistake, the K7 is a faster bike....but the K6 is heaps more fun.

Interesting write up on the GSX-S1000.

I am very much a Suzuki person and I thought a Suzuki GSX1000r with mods would be the go, but the initial reports on the Yamaha MT10 look really good. Bugger.
