interesting wonder what engine they have put in the BBking the 1k or the 1300

and twin pipes on a sports bike, how silly is that.

'K7 GSX-R1000: 3 way ECU with 3 different settings on the handlebar: Sports mode, Wet mode and Normal. Much in the same way as on the highest spec Benelli TNT to control the power delivery. In effect traction control! Upgraded chassis, more power etc. More detail later.'

916 baby

Heh, but totally here what you're saying... can't believe they made a sports tourer out of the gsxr1000

Ok ok, enough winding up certain GSXR1000 riders

06 may be the pinnacle for a few years, whilst they figure out how to make them more powerful and still satisfy the EU laws. I'm guessing that the GSXR1000 is now carrying around two large catalytic converters... why else would they rape it like that?

B-King concept made reality with GSX-1300R Hayabusa derived engine.

Modified GSF650 Bandit and all new water-cooled GSF1250 Bandit. (Interesting new bandit)

I wonder if Tom the pohm is gonna be rushing down to the nearest Suzuki dealer to get another K6? or is he gonna ride another beast?

Actually, after looking at some other pics I'm not that against it, except the exhaust. Asthetically it would've been better for one side exhaust and one under seat, but Suzuki seem reluctant to go down that well trodden path. I remember when the K5 came out and that exhaust polarised opinion, I was one of the ones who liked it. Now on the new model I don't, but wait a couple of months and there will be a great choice of aftermarket systems available.

Some people are claiming the switchable ecu as a form of traction control, unless it has speed sensors on the drive train to detect slip it ain't no tc system, just a method of smoothing out the power delivery. Anyone else notice the hydraulic clutch?

I knew I'd seen this design somewhere else.

AMA new rules state that bikes are allowed TC as long as they come factory with it, so that includes speed sensors and such, (The rules stipulate that OEM bikes can run Traction control if they come with some form of it from the factory, IE wheel speed sensors and stuff of that sort.)

So if they are first out of the bad for it be interesting. really have to wait know more in a few days after few guys been to the USA dealer show, and can release the information the have got

Twin pipes is strange but i understand it, suzuki know 90% of people will put after market ones on anyway,

With the K7 coming out the left over K6's should drop in price a little so it may be better to wait till the K7 hits the shop floors.

On the other hand they may need to discount the K7 because its so ugly and I can't see them being as sought after as the K5 and K6, and the K6 might stay in demand and hold its current value.

Hmmmmmmmmm
