I had a perve this morning on my way to work as they were open pre 8.00am!
Although more and more I'm finding the whole sport bike category a bit of a physical bore the bike definitely looks better in the flesh than in the photos and Suzuki could learn a thing or two from this BMW regarding mufflers. They claim the GSXR1000 pipes are 'Moto GP inspired' and then add two giant bananas to the bike. The BMW pipe looks the horn, I presume most of the muffling is done in the cat.

Surprisingly well priced for a BMW as well - 27k standard, 31k with ABS and traction control.

If it is as good as the magazines are claiming the whole sport bike market is in for a revival over the next year.

You're right... That is the Standard price for a standard Beemer.....
I bet it doesn't have the huge running costs most of them do... Oh, wait....

it looks ......."odd" with the odd headlights. The rest looks sexy (the bike that is).
