I still think they look like they've run into the back of a bus!

What model suzuki salesman glasses are you sporting? :-P

I thought the latest CBR was ugly till I rode it.... now they could paint it pink and it'd still be the one.

Thats for sure. The new R1 got hit with an ugly stick, alright.

Uhhhh..... which GSXR would you be talking about? Last time I checked a GSXR didn't have undertail exhuast and single sided swingarm. The MV looked like this a long time before the GSXR started getting skinny and light.

This is what GSXR's looked like when the MV F4 was released.

Uhhhh I think you'll find he's taking the piss there just a little.

Looks to me like their design has been similar through time if that web site is correct??

Oh and to bring the thread back on topic, wouldn't it be nice to do just one lap on a famous bike like that. Just so you could see how it felt and say you've ridden it!!!

**onearmedbandit** · 18th June 2010, 12:58

And does the GSXR from 1998 look anything like that?
