It's only 172 kg's vs 166 (claimed) from last year mate!
Get rid of the ugly twin mufflers and collector box and you'll save 10 kg's over stock......it IS 192 HP....so all will be forgiven when you twist the grip!!!

Excellent.

As long as they chop those cans off, remove the little rubber bootie and put the old style headlight back in and lose a few kg's then it might be ok.

I'm fully aware it's a pre production model but that disclaimer is there to cover any quality issues with the finish of the product, not the design AFAIK.

You wanna try the smell in my office......and I'm the only one in it.
But it WILL be good...the bike that is....
Certainly as a race bike it's shaping up well. Mladin has said some pretty good things about it so far

Have to say, the K5/6 will be my next bike!

Have to say my Painter has broken his arm 2 days ago, so will be a delay, Do you want one not colour matched? But all there for future painting

Sorry for the thread Jack

Sorry mate, Shaun has got first in on my cash. But he'll have to throw in a signed autographed book!

Get a K6 while you can, seriously. I bet the K7 has been neutered with all the catalytic converter bullshit and is heavier too.

And they've removed the transformer head shape from the light, it looks like a teardrop now. I'd cry if I was that ugly.

Didn't we get all this type of bitching when the k5 came out. "Oooh, I don't like that exhaust", "those mirrors look ghey"......

Strueth guys, for Gixxer bigots, you fail miserably.

I'm quite happy to wait Shaun, my money's not going anywhere else till I see your bike first. (like I told crasher, an autographed first edition book may have to be part of the deal, ha ha!)

Don't know why you included me in there, I've never owned a Suzuki before, just so happens that it's what I'm looking for next.
