Talk to Speedie, Bret. He reckons the K8 is just the dog's bollocks.
I'm looking forward to trying one out myself.
The forks are different, with high/low comp adjustment, and they have the electronic steering damper

the k8's got a gay exhaust

So not to much change reallyThere's also a larger 17-litre tank to provide fuel for the 16,000rpm redline engine, which features three engine maps selectable on-the-fly, like the Suzuki GSX-R1000. It also has a new Suzuki fuel injection system, and is housed in an aluminium-alloy frame, with a new rear subrame which saves 125 grams. There are fully-adjustable Showa forks and rear shock, 14-position adjustable footpegs, an electronic steering damper which reacts to the speed of the motorcycle
good write up i found -> http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Articl...ID=5368&Page=1
tells you what they have really changed.
One hell of a ride.
Out next Friday.

MCN, I think it was, had a good writeup.
Sounded like the K8's basically a bit slower and not much else is different, apart from it being $500 cheaper; the K7 was perfect and so Suzuki decided to just make it slightly softer.
Sound familiar?
I agree that the K7 750 was a wonderful bike. Perfect sportbike for the road if you can fold yourself up onto it comfortably enough (I can't).

All I can add is that the difference between the K7 and K8 600's is quite remarkable (for the better). Not sure if they've made similar changes to the 750.
Much better midrange on the new 600. Would be nice if they've done the same to the 750.

Did you try the footpegs in the 14mm lower position? It makes a hua of a difference, a lot more comfy. I've lowered the footpegs on both of our sem fiddys

No. Didn't know there was a lower position.
I bet!

You have the option of moving them back 14mm, or down 14mm, from stock

One hell of a ride.
Half an inch only makes a difference if you were already comfortable on the bike.

You would be surprised.... the difference in comfort feels like 14cm. I rode my bike with the "as delivered" setting for about a month, then changed to the lower setting, and have left it that way... it is WAY more comfy

The k7 is from 2007 and the k8 is from 2008. That's one difference... I think.

Done it. Not surprised.
Buell 1125 has adjustable foot contols. They don't make any difference to size 13s either.
