    Arrow New Suzuki GSR600

    http://www.motorcycledaily.com/30sep...uki_gsr600.htm

    There is a bit of competition starting for this class in 2006. Hopefully we'll see some of these new models here in New Zealand.

    So Suzuki have given in to marketing and gone for the undertail exhaust. Interesting model though, should sell well.

    If you take the S off the tank, you'd think it was a Honda.....

    Looks neat and by the way they write it up, it could be a wheelie machine.

    you'll find with the 750 is the torque over the 600's... so you don't have to ring the nuts off them. Also = more reliable motor

    whats wrong with bandits?? they seem to me like a pretty good step up bike....though personally i'm thinking more of a gsxr600 myself or an r6...... is what i'll look like after testing either one is what it'll look like when i climb back on to my gn and ride home.....
