lol and i thought the new fireblade looked bad!!! trust suzuki to come out with something that looks like a power ranger and a transformer had one ugly as f*@k baby

I think it looks OK actually but at the end of the day it's the handling and performance that will be the decision maker for me... oh and whether I should just turn my current in to a trackbike and get something else for road riding in NZ... something tells me that I won't get away with quite as much speed over there... about the only advantage of being in the UK now is that the traffic police are dwindling in numbers, and that there aren't many unmarked cars about

Apparently it has the power map feature from the K7 thou. Seems kinda redundant on a 600 to me but might be handy for US learners who insist on buying a supersport.

its a sales gimick...they arn't separate maps...it retards the the enigine in the first instance..and the third supposed wet map is rev limited and retarded...and throttle application is up to the user...no matter what bike it is...

and on another note...the new GSXR750 now has a rev limit of 15000rpm!!! thats a errrr...generous increase!! be interesting to see the claimed specs!!

Totally agree. Also agree it's mostly a gimmick but I really think it'd be helpful if you were learning on a brand spanking new GSXR-600 which is the impression I get of the US market.

Having some leeway for throttle mistakes isn't a bad thing when you're learning right?

Specs released by Suzuki:

* High-performance-engineered 599 cm3 & 749cm3 4-cylinder liquid-cooled engines utilizing advanced, race-proven technological features
* Race-proven 0.634:1 bore/stroke ratio (67.0mm bore and 42.5mm stroke). 16,000 rpm redline for the 600
* Race-proven 0.696:1 bore/stroke ratio, from an oversquare 70.0mm x 48.7mm bore and stroke. 15,000 rpm redline. for the 750
* Lightweight titanium-alloy valves controlled by single valve spring to reduce mechanical losses
* Iridium-electrode spark plugs enhance combustion and have long service life
* Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection improves cylinder charging for a more linear throttle response and increased torque
* New, compact fuel injector with 8 holes realizing a finer sprang for better fuel atomization and more complete combustion.
* Long velocity stacks (intake funnels) on each throttle body barrel help improve mid-range acceleration.
* Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) offers instantaneous switching between three engine maps to suit rider preference or riding conditions
* Idle Speed Control (ISC) system automatically improves cold starting and stabilizes engine idle.
* Trapezoidal, curved radiator provides large cooling capacity without sacrificing aerodynamics.
* Race-proven back-torque-limiting clutch contributes to smoother downshifting and corner entry.
* Large triangular-cross-section silencer helps maximize cornering clearance while providing ample internal volume to meet latest regulations.
* The clean-running GSX-R750 clears tough Euro 3 and Tier 2 emissions standards.
* Suzuki Ram Air Direct (SRAD) induction, with an efficient louver system inside the ram-air intakes for a straighter, smoother airflow.
* Cast aluminum-alloy frame tuned for superb handling feel at racetrack speeds.
* Inverted cartridge front forks and rear shock absorber both have adjustable spring preload, rebound damping and high/low speed compression damping
* Electronically controlled steering damper: less damping force at slower speeds, more damping force at highway and racetrack speeds
* Seating position, handle bar position and 3-position-adjustable footpegs are designed o work well both for racetrack and street riding.
* Front 120/70ZR17M/C and rear 180/55ZR17M/C radial tires, designed specifically for the GSX-R600 & GSX-R750, on light and rigid curved-3-spoke wheels.
* Dual front 310mm-floating-disc, radial-mount-caliper brakes, and single rear 220mm-disc brake
* Powerful lighting, with a central 55W halogen projector low beam flanked by 60W halogen multi-reflector high beams on each side
* Aerodynamic rearview-mirror-integrated front and tailsection-integrated rear turn signals use red lens and red LEDs for visibility and style
* 17-liter fuel tank increased by 0.5 liter from the previous model.
* Instrument cluster using a step-motor-controlled analog tachometer, digital LCD speedometer, and LCD and LED indicators including a shift light and gear position indicator

I have a feeling I have already said this, but those latest pics really do show how ugly that exhaust is. I like the stock 06/07 way better.
But a lot of people replace the exhaust, so may not be a big deal.
