BTW, I think the 05 is excellent. Apart from the can which everyone will replace anyway........it is different, better and still defintely Suzuki. Yoshimura is going to have field day with this. Turn signals in the mirrors is a nice touch I reckon. Dosn't mean you cant pull them off and put on a set of blinkers so small no-one can see them

PS anyone seen the DR400 Supermotard. Thats what Ryan needs for his next (other ?) bike.

Re: So what are everyones thought\'s on the 05 1K(pic\'s)

Im disappointed! I had high hopes for this bike. Was hoping for a lighter (weight and feel) better handling bike, visually not too far from the K3/4.

I dont like anything about the look ... and Its still 5kg heavier than a ZX10R!

The motor will probably be awesome, with mods to make it more competetive in World Supers and AMA, but despite the images looking real the BIKE looks like a photoshop effort. The upper and lower fairings are out of proportion with each other in the more front-on shot and the tail looks like a completely different bike. I hate integrated blinkers. Imagine the cost of replacing one of those mirrors!

Looks like my next bike will be a ZX10R or GSXR750 ... but then maybe these are not real photos?

i don't like the exhaust but who cares about that, if you got the money for a brand new bike then you'll probably have enough money for an aftermarket exhaust, but those blinkers are shit. i thought BMW were the only bike manufacturer stupid enough to do that...

Its definately a joke. Since when do Suzuki write "Titanium" on their pipes? They have to have "Suzuki" followed by numbers and symbols.

The only bike's i like with an undertail exhaust are the 04 R1 and the 996\998 style Duc's, side mount's rule, unless your bike falls over....
