* Dry Weight – 172kg as against 166kg for K6

If one replaced the mufflers with some carbon ones. I think the weight could come back down to a similar figure.

But, fuck, people, think about it, '166' kg instead of '172' kg. That's altering the power weight ratio.. Umm.. Not a hell of a lot.

Plus whatever magic handling pixie dust Suzuki have sprinkled on the chassic will result in handling that is at least the same, and most likely better. And it has the split fuel tank, airbox thingamy that I quite like the look of. Compared to the earlier thou's (And pre-K6 600s and 750s) big fat ugly tanks.

I, for one, welcome our new K7 overlord. and will be at the bike shop having a go soon after it's release. I will be a sissy and switch on the 'rain' mode even if it is perfectly dry.

I expect to be spurned mightily by all you smelly K5 and K6 owners who insist on holding onto their (Massively depreciateing because they are stupid Sukuki bottom line eaters) 'classics'.

Boo hoo, woe is me and my warranty.

I hope the K5/K6's do come down, but I can't see it. They're still alot of bike for your buck and won't drop as much as you'd expect. If they do, new
k6 for Mr Wilde!

Dunno... Sportzone have a new K6 1000 for $17995 already. Rides have a new R1, $21995 R1 looks more expensive, but $4k??

Brilliant deals on the current 650 Bandits here to clear them,faired ABS model with free rack,backbox and a years fully comp insurance for less than a CBF500 Honda,a lot of mightily pissed off Bandit owners though,kicked the shit out of secondhand values of 1-3 year-old bikes.

Or even better - go on a diet!

Reducing your bodyweight by a couple of kg is cheaper than carbon fibre cans.

Not the price your soul pays in conforming. Stuff loosing weight, I'm such a non-conformist I wanna get as fat as possible.

Line up the Big Macs homegirls.

Hmmm. The 650 Bandits aren't available over here! we're told they're a Jap domestic model. Aussie importers make strange decisions though as to what will sell. This year the Honda importers stopped bringing in the CBR600F.

Another stange thing is the announcement by suzuki that the Bandit will no longer be produced after next year. Strange to give the bike a larger/new engine and then discontinue it. The move to water rather than oil cooling is a step in the right direction though.

There are tons of second hand CBR250R's flooding the Victorian market.

Why?
More complication for next to no gain. At this rate Suzuki will be as bad as Honda.
