05 Gixxer Thou - Official pics

[spudchucka]

I don't get it :spudwhat:

What are you all complaining about?

As if anyone who buys one of these bikes is going to keep the exhaust anyway.

The manufacturers know their exhausts are going to be biffed within 1000kms anyway so what's the point in spending a lot of budget on the muffler when you could spend it elsewhere...

like on those integrated mirror/indicators.

What do you reckon one of those would cost to replace if you accidentally dropped the bike and broke the lens.

I bet its a complete unit replacement only.

As for the zorst

The rest of the bike looks pretty damn fine.

I agree that the pipe will be binned in pretty much all purchases and Suzuki surely are aware of that but that pipe is just plain UGLY and makes a great bike look very average. If I were spending 20K on a bike that gixxer would be the bottom of the list simply due to out right ugliness.

Meh it is just Suzuki - never up with the others in the design stakes. They have moulded the 'bus front end on to the gixxer tail and stuck the Rune pipe on it.

SHIT

[Cajun]

Integrated indicators clean the front end up. I am surprised they haven't gone under seat given that all the others are heading that way. Be interesting to see what the other colours are - as Suzuki are not known for putting nice colours on their bikes - and I hate the blue/white colours.

the yellow 600 is sexy dc:<

I DOnt have enough Life norr money to owne every bike I'ld like to owne , ownes or have own-edd ... <==EXcuse me ... butt is this yours ?

Shame suzuki couldn't get it together like kawasaki have (if those 05 ZX6R pics are close to reality).

All the performance stats are really getting irrelevant now for most people (250kmhr out of my 600... do I really need a litre?) so I think styling considerations are going to play more of a role than ever.

GSXRs have always been marketed as the fast ones, not the pretty ones. That picture puts the GSXR1000 firmly in the Clumsy Styling League, as opposed to the '04 R1 (purdy) and even the 10R (not-quite-as-purdy-as-the-R1).

That said, I kind of like that pipe, in a nasty-chunky-big-momma kinda way.

I'd buy the GSXR if the Divinely Inspired Bike Mag Authorities rated it firmly and consistently above the other litrebikes in performance. Because we all know that that's what matters.

I also like the pipe and the whole bike. Fucken Hondas and Yamahahahaha riders aren't going to see what way it went anyway.
