    Due middle of next year.

    Got all the fancy electronics you would expect.

    Looks are a bit average though.

    I like it. Looks are not startling, but I dont think that matters. I suspect it is going to be a great bike and the design continuity is very clear. And whats a BMW owner doing criticizing headlight design...........

    I simply tell my friends I got two bikes for the price of one.

    Probably more HP but I doubt it'll be lighter than my 06 ????
    (claimed 166 dry for that.)

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

    They're obviously trying to emulate a racing bike with the intakes like that, then they go and ditch the combination mirror/indicator and have reverted to separate items. Boo hiss. Headlight output will probably be dismal as well

    2017 gsx-r1000

    I read since this bike is pre-production styling changes are likely.

    I remember a time when GSX-R's looked like a fast super sport. For some time they look more like a spanky sport tourer at best. At least while you are riding it you don't have to look at it. If they are in fact changing the style my comment would be 'consider making it look fast like a all the other super sports do.'
