New 2007 Gixxer Thou

[sAsLEX]

at least it still has a side exit exhaust!

i dont know about anybody else but i cant stand underseat pipes!!!

The vertical exit ones on the new duke look brilliant imho. The exhaust cansiter is completely hidden, not like the monstosities you get sticking out the back of blades, Kwaks etc

I thought that too... then i decided it looked more like an R6....

Good old MCN, always first with false info.

hmm.

its not a great angle for the picture though.

makes the head look big and fat and sit too high.

the tail looks too small and not upswept enough. but it is probably just the angle of the drawing.

Just found this on another site, they reckon that the thou won't have the little zorst as the 600/750 cause it makes to much emission, so undertail might be on the cards....

look at this one!

Meh, raptors and rockets are some of the biggest photochoppers about. Doubt they'd have two pipes though, that would mean two cats and twice as much weight?

Yeah..I realize that. But they make up a pic from the new info that they have of the bike.And it is GP tech, so why not?

But they have no info on the bike... not even one referenced source do I see on the link you provided. GP tech why not, probably weight. GP bikes can get away with it because they have no cats, and essentially hollow mufflers.

Headlights will be shit...

Hey Zapf, apparently it's coming out next month, better stick the 954 on the market now then

I think with the new Gixxer, Suzuki are looking at more bottom and mid range grunt.
Think the 06 ZX10R looks quite cool with the aftermarket pipes, esp in black!

And for the fact that the GP bike is a V4 i could understand having a seat exit and side exit pipe, but the GSXR is still the old inline four we love and yeah it'd make no sense at all to go underseat and side exit, no point, heavy.
Unless they made a V4 GSXR, hmmm now that would be pretty fkn cool!

hard to say what the K7 is gonna look like at this stage, you'd expect it to go towards the K6 600/750 styling, i doubt they'll go underseat exhaust set up at least i hope they dont, will see soon enough i guess.
