At last: A Suzuki Shiver

Luggage Smuggage. Just do what I do and courier all the shit you need to the Police station of your destination. Best way to tour.

so when you get arrested you've got dry grundies waiting? Never thought of that...

What a pack of whinging, "spoon feed me!" babies ya are! The naked you all want (but never buy) is right there, ya just gotta take the fairings off and get your hands a lil' bit dirty. It's not rocket science...sheesh, and you all reckon suzuki is slack?!

I reckon a Triumph Daytona 675 with the fairings off and streetfightered could be a cool little bike: like a mini Speed Triple sort of. I reckon I might email John Bloor and see what he reckons.....

[Crasherfromwayback]

Doubt Ill ever get the chance so how about you just fuck off and let me convince myself it's gonna be crap. There's a good fellow.

I'll let you ride our demo you grubby lil wankstain.

And they could call it the 'Street Triple'.

I reckon the FZ8 is equally "budgeted". Without riding one, I must admit to having reservations as to how well the sleeved FZ1 engine would go. I'm looking forward to a comparison between that engine and the presumably rechipped GSXR-750.

Well on the bright side it would have a slightly more respectable warranty than the shiver......

i never understood why naked bikes were not offered with at least the option of the full power engines.

Without the fairing a hard hitting top end becomes a little bit of a gear flapping, face warping, body as a parachute experience.

Get funky at Suzuki's official launch site:

Unfortunately - the Flash developers have got carried away and there is no real content there.

Hope this is not a trend I see starting in the naked Jappa's, by that I mean over styling the body work as in the new Z1000 and now this bike.
Give me the FZ8 I reckon.

The new Speed Triple is falling foul of this trend too. Looks more jappa than british.

Yeah Owl and I were discussing it the other day, that's the one they let slip in the parts catalog? Umm, I actually quite liked it..

It's growing on me slowly after seeing it officially on Triumph's site. Looks like it has gained a couple of kg's though and now has a 6" rear rim with 190/55 fitted. I do like the wheels and look forward to seeing it in person. Still not sold on the headlights though

Hmm, I like that line of thinking..
2010 R1, remove fairings, chuck on some Renthal street bars.. Hey presto, the new mad as a maggot FZ1.

Problem with that spud is that then you've got a bike which is very deffinitely custom, and people assume is a repaired write off when it comes time to resell.

well then you just put everything back together and you post up some pics to show how it looked when you rode it so you can explain why it looks so mint.

Yep, there is that. For a group of of supposed misfits, motorcyclists are by and large a fairly conservative bunch.

But as you mentioned it'd be a hairy beast. A 165hp fully faired bike is one thing, but lighten it by 10kg's, no point in a 300kph topend on a naked so gear it for say 250kph, and then sit up like jackie and raise the C of G......you'd have fun but most of us would end up in the bushes sooner rather than later.

Quite simple, if you'd actually ridden a modern litre bike you'd know why.

Current Sportsbikes are designed with rider position and weight distribution all in mind. Take a GSXR1000 with the fairings removed and high bars on it for a ride, it's fucking mental.

Without the fairing a hard hitting top end becomes a little bit of a gear flapping, face warping, body as a parachute experience.

well thanks for the education gents. but surely those things might be quite attractive qualities to some people? you yourself mentioned it as an enjoyable experience i think white trash...

i did say option!
