2007 Suzuki Gixxer thou

[ShadowNet-Spy21]

I was at the big boys toys and i saw the new Suzuki for next year. I couldnt get the chance to take photos. I was wondering if they are already out or not. I made a search on the internet for it but they all come out with different design then the one i saw at BBT. Any clues? Dover?

[The_Dover]

Nope, they wont hit NZ until at least May 07 if the K5 is anything to go by.

They are on the US site already, nice colour schemes...........

Go to www.gixxer.com and the septics will have more info on the US release date but NZ wont be until April/May.

Will check it out. Thanks

[The_Dover]

No, I didn't take any cos I think it's a pig. Those exhausts are nasty and the rubber boot that covered the clutch slave cylinder looks like an afterthought.

Get a K6 while you can, seriously. I bet the K7 has been neutered with all the catalytic converter bullshit and is heavier too.

And they've removed the transformer head shape from the light, it looks like a teardrop now. I'd cry if I was that ugly.

[ShadowNet-Spy21]

:ar15: Check my attached photos

[The_Dover]

The one on the left is the real one.

The raptors and rockets one is a photochop with the shitty K7 600/750 paintjob. Those red bits are puke inducing.

The suzuki USA site has some pics but I think Stevie Wonder chose the paint schemes for them.

And the homosexuals on gixxer.com that have pre ordered a K7 thou for their "first bike" will be taking delivery in April, so when NZ will see the first is anyones guess.

Jebus...someone is going to Dover for advice!

If you think that one was ugly. Check the pic from Raptors&Rockets . That looks like half honda,half suzuki. I prefer double exhaust on the side man. At least it doesnt look as ugly as Kawaka or Yamaha Thou. It looks like the smallest and the lightest thou of the year.:rockon:

[The_Dover]

It's ok skel.

If I come across any fags that want to buy a hornet I'll be sure to pass on your number.

[awesker]

Yeah, Ive got mixed feelings with it, the front reminds me of the k3..

[Shaun]

I see BIagi has just topped the testing times in Europe on the new K7, not bad for a new bike so early

[The_Dover]

It looks like the smallest and the lightest thou of the year.:rockon:

yeah, of next year.

but that's like comparing Kirsty Allie in "look who's talking" to the whale she became a few years later.

[ShadowNet-Spy21]

Jebus...someone is going to Dover for advice!

Advice? Its just making conversation. Since Dover is the one who is obsessed with Suzukis, i cant think of anyone else to go for an advice rather than him... But than again its just a discussion.

[SimJen]

Looks poo and is heavier than the K5/K6. I won't be buying one. Think I'll stick with my K5 for a little while.

You did read the sign that said pre-production model alot of those after thoughts get tidyed up before going in to production

[Fishy]

Get a K6 while you can, seriously.

Exactly mate!.

And have I got a deal for anyone looking for the mintest used K6 in NZ.......

[Crasherfromwayback]

Looks poo and is heavier than the K5/K6. I won't be buying one. Think I'll stick with my K5 for a little while.

It's only 172 kg's vs 166 (claimed) from last year mate!
Get rid of the ugly twin mufflers and collector box and you'll save 10 kg's over stock......it IS 192 HP....so all will be forgiven when you twist the grip!!!

[The_Dover]

Excellent.

As long as they chop those cans off, remove the little rubber bootie and put the old style headlight back in and lose a few kg's then it might be ok.

I'm fully aware it's a pre production model but that disclaimer is there to cover any quality issues with the finish of the product, not the design AFAIK.

I smell a Suzuki salesman...........:whistle:

You wanna try the smell in my office......and I'm the only one in it.
But it WILL be good...the bike that is....
Certainly as a race bike it's shaping up well. Mladin has said some pretty good things about it so far

[iwilde]

Have to say, the K5/6 will be my next bike!

[Shaun]

Have to say, the K5/6 will be my next bike!

Have to say my Painter has broken his arm 2 days ago, so will be a delay, Do you want one not colour matched? But all there for future painting

Sorry for the thread Jack

[Crasherfromwayback]

Well best you contact me.....I've got a brand new K6 here I'll do you a mean deal on!

Sorry mate, Shaun has got first in on my cash. But he'll have to throw in a signed autographed book!

Didn't we get all this type of bitching when the k5 came out. "Oooh, I don't like that exhaust", "those mirrors look ghey"......

Strueth guys, for Gixxer bigots, you fail miserably.



:dodge:

I'm quite happy to wait Shaun, my money's not going anywhere else till I see your bike first. (like I told crasher, an autographed first edition book may have to be part of the deal, ha ha!)

Don't know why you included me in there, I've never owned a Suzuki before, just so happens that it's what I'm looking for next.

Done, will be in touch!

Hey Crasherfromwayback, too slow old man, bahahaha:second:

[Postie]

Looks like Suzuki are trying to be as cool as Kawasaki

[Fatjim]

Sorry Bro. Just needed to make a sweeping generalization.

[The_Dover]

don't lump me in there lard arse

i'd never even considered a GSXR before I bought my (first) K5, it was just the best bike I rode when I tested them all.

[Fatjim]

Do we have to explain everything to you over! I wasn't saying you complained in 05, I was saying the gixxer bigots of the day did. This new crop of biggots just repeat the same old mistakes.

And how you calling lard ass, dipshit!

[Coyote]

It's ugly

Like the orange, but then I like orange.

Not first time GSXR has been orange on black. K4600 on sale here last Jan as an example.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Hey Crasherfromwayback, too slow old man, bahahaha:second:

Nothing new there !
Would've mentioned anything if I knew you were selling him one either mate...:scooter:

No skin of my nose dude, you are trying to make a living from it! I am just trying to clean out my W/shop

All good mate....I get paid just the same for simply wandering 'round talking shit!

[Deano]

Methinks they should leave orange to Kwaka and Repsol.

Blue and White is a much safer bet.

First bike? Will be their last bike, by early May I imagine.

Dave

[jade]

I reckon the k6 looks better than the 7, the k6's are the best looking bike out of all the thous in my opinion - but then I kinda prefer that ducati 1098 over the gixxer..

[lukelin250]

mmmm ok im gonna dive into the pit, ill put my hand up for the cbr rr 1000 repsol edition as best thou!!! take that.

Hi all
We have taken orders for the K7 1000. 2 have been sold and we only have 2 black, 2 Blue/White, 1 Yellow left from the first shipment in 07. We will also have a demo in black. Waiting for the listing for a Yoshi 4 into one system for these and this should shed some serious weight and look and sound great. I will let you know what is goes like when the demo is here. :)
