    05 Bike Rumours

    Munich bike show is 3 weeks away - what is expected and what is just plain BS?

    Honda should show an updated CBR600RR and Yamaha will be adding a 'enhancements' to the R6.

    Yamaha should also be showing the version of the MT-01 to go on sale (interestly enough - this is touted to replace the V-Max). The bike will use a 1700cc v-twin motor with the focus on torque.


    Suzuki is showing a brand new GSX-R1000 with a bigger bore, 2kg less weight and a radical new look (refer my other thread - that Pipe is SHIT LOOKING.......get a Yoshi kit on it quick smart and don't let ANYONE see you ride it with the standard pipe on)



    The Bandit 600 is being replaced with a 650 (as is the Bandit S) and there is a new supermoto version of the DR-Z400 - the SM. The Marauder 800 gets the same look as the 1600 and there's a new 450 crosser.



    Triumph is working on a 646cc version of its Daytona - though we may not see that at Munich. There is a reworked Sprint ST and a big-bore Bonneville, too. Is this the pic of it?


    Ducati will update the 999 with all the modifications seen on the US special edition last month. The main difference will be a redesigned top fairing that loses the upper air ducts to make it more stable at high speed.



    Bimota will show the prototype of its DB5 1000cc v-twin for the first time. The bike uses the engine from the Ducati Multistrada and is expected to be one of the lightest litre bikes ever built.
    KTM is likely to have the new supermoto version of the Adventure 950, which is set to go on sale in the UK around the same time as the show with the Duke 990 naked road bike following shortly afterwards.

    MZ will show the new naked version of the 1000. The 1000N uses the same chassis as the 1000S but with a half fairing instead of the full plastics.

    That MT-01 would look awesome if it didn't have it's exhaust next to it's seat.
