Don't buy a new bike until you see these

[InDeSkyz]

Ooo GSXR could be my new bike once I get my full (shucks, I hope they bring out a orange colour).
But then it will depend on weight an height O_o

[avgas]

dunno i still prefer the old bandit. it had a resemblence to the harris bikes.
looks like the are putting the GSX6 against the new ER5/6 in terms of looks.

Ya reckon, I don't know looks alot like the Hornet to me, its also the only naked i've seen in a while that would tempt me away from a full faired bike

[Avignon]

The GSR600 looks amazing, a GSXR600 engine detuned for a naked bike, great specs. Real competition for the hornet, I guess the bandit 600 is gone/going from the new range.

A gsxr600 has more power and less weight than a 900 Hornet and should in the right hands put one away - straight line or twisties, but your kidding yourself if you think the GSR a detuned gsxr600 is real competition in terms of grunt, useability and ultimately, top speed as well. As the old saying goes "There aint no replacement for displacement." It will probably cost more as well.

what you need is a Harris, they dont call them the gods of streetfighters for nothing

This is not a criticism but I reckon you could put the 636 beside that GSXR600 and be struggling to tell them apart, except for the muffler.

And I see Brutale/FZ6 influences in the GSR.

Not much that's really new eh?

Suzuki and Kawasaki do share ideas together, especially in the off-road bike segment. Wonder if it applies to road bikes as well?

Firstly I was thinking of the 600 Hornet, and more about specs then looks, secondly, the GSR Has a GSXR600 engine that has been tuned for bottom to mid range performance at the expense of top end performance. It is a naked bike after all. All of which was implied in the "detuned"

Who said anything about being new (well in terms of reinventing the wheel new, not new new), I agree about the fazer/brutale comparision, but will be interested to see how they stack up against the competition.
I reckon that in the flesh the K6 GSXR and the 636 will be poles apart on the looks department, exhaust aside

[justsomeguy]

Finally we have one in a decent colour

[VasalineWarrior]

wow! does it have an underseat exhast or not? i cant tell

No that was my error, when I looked at it first I assumed it did, but on closer inspection, that little stubby black thing by the swing arm is the exhaust.

[Jackrat]

I don't hate sprotbikes,think some of em' are bloody nice but just don't want one.Two of Those look to much like something else to me but I really like the new Bandit.

[Qkchk:Me]

Its still a suzuki, hehehe.

Yeah I used to think the same.............. but after owning 3 of them, I have changed my attitude towards them. Nice pics of the 600's, makes me wanna look @ getting a naked next time.
