2007 Suzuki Gixxer thou

**ShadowNet-Spy21** · 17th November 2006, 08:32

I was at the big boys toys and i saw the new Suzuki for next year. I couldnt get the chance to take photos. I was wondering if they are already out or not. I made a search on the internet for it but they all come out with different design then the one i saw at BBT. Any clues? Dover?

Nope, they wont hit NZ until at least May 07 if the K5 is anything to go by.

They are on the US site already, nice colour schemes...........

Go to www.gixxer.com and the septics will have more info on the US release date but NZ wont be until April/May.

Will check it out. Thanks

No, I didn't take any cos I think it's a pig. Those exhausts are nasty and the rubber boot that covered the clutch slave cylinder looks like an afterthought.

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.

Check my attached photos

The one on the left is the real one.

The raptors and rockets one is a photochop with the shitty K7 600/750 paintjob. Those red bits are puke inducing.

The suzuki USA site has some pics but I think Stevie Wonder chose the paint schemes for them.

And the homosexuals on gixxer.com that have pre ordered a K7 thou for their "first bike" will be taking delivery in April, so when NZ will see the first is anyones guess.

If you think that one was ugly. Check the pic from Raptors&Rockets . That looks like half honda,half suzuki. I prefer double exhaust on the side man. At least it doesnt look as ugly as Kawaka or Yamaha Thou. It looks like the smallest and the lightest thou of the year.

It's ok skel.

If I come across any fags that want to buy a hornet I'll be sure to pass on your number.

**awesker** · 17th November 2006, 08:59

Yeah, Ive got mixed feelings with it, the front reminds me of the k3..

I see BIagi has just topped the testing times in Europe on the new K7, not bad for a new bike so early

yeah, of next year.

but that's like comparing Kirsty Allie in "look who's talking" to the whale she became a few years later.

Advice? Its just making conversation. Since Dover is the one who is obsessed with Suzukis, i cant think of anyone else to go for an advice rather than him... But than again its just a discussion.

Looks poo and is heavier than the K5/K6. I won't be buying one. Think I'll stick with my K5 for a little while.

You did read the sign that said pre-production model alot of those after thoughts get tidyed up before going in to production
