Suzuki RF1000

[avgas]

The RF900 has been a bit of a stable mate in NZ. What you guys think of the proposed RF1000?
Looks to be a bit of a baby busa?

[Edbear]

Looks like a 'practical' GSX-R. What's the engine going to be?

[crazyhorse]

Oooooooooooooooooooooooh, she is a horny looking machine :innocent: I like it........... :)

[Headbanger]

Do Suzuki hate their customers?, There is no freakin seat.

I think it's BS.......
Taken from this site: http://www.kardesign.co.uk/Motorcycle%20visuals.html notorious for alledged new models and concepts that strangely never come to fruition.
But, if it is real - it needs work on the seat, needs a pillion seat and pegs, better fairing and higher bars and that's just for starters if it's going to fill the cavernous boots of it's predecessor.

Shadow is square... just art I think.

If it is for real I hope its corners better than the RF900 didn't.

[riffer]

Agreed. As evidence I present the following page:

cool - good find. Friend emailed me the pics.
I reckoned it looked a bit more boatish - and didn't really understand 'why' as the Busa is a pretty small bike.

yuor very right.....it has pictures of new 2 smokers.....that is not what manufactorers are making or designing.

Also why would the bring out a new RF?? whats the point?, they make enough sport bikes as it is.

[Elysium]

That bike is obese.

Man, this story is so old! Some Japanese language blogs were talking about this RF1000R back on the 18th of October 2007 (over 3 years ago). For proof, check out http://www.naga-blog.com/archives/2007/10/182313.php
Even the headline starts out "Is this Real or a Fake..."

[Mrs Busa Pete]

I like it but where is the pillion seat.

Which doesn't make it over three years old, does it?

[Odakyu-sen]

Okay, you got me. Make that 2 years and almost 3 months. Hey, but it's still old news.

And Bullshit. the RF was a sports tourer. This is sportier than the gixer but with the gills. Yuck Yuck Yuck

[DEATH_INC.]

Shame it's fake. I like it.

[onearmedbandit]

Yeah I remember first seeing it a couple years back in an email. Looked very hardcore then.

Ah 1000cc probably.
