Looks almost identical to the 07/08 :w00t:

3

I see the changes and don’t like… will it grow on me? hmmmmmmmmmmmm dunno.

4

Ahh, no thanks I rather the R1 and i don’t think that looks very good although I do like the red frame. The BMW looks tres chic but I think the MV Augusta is the one.

5

I think the aprillia RSV4 might be on my upgrade list instead of a new gsxr :w00t:

6

It doesn`t seem to look sporty enough.

7

I found it in white, yummmmmmmmmmmmmmy :w00t:

8

I don’t like it!

Personally think the K5/6 has been the best design so far. Especially in black!

9

it looks lovely…

10

I likes it!!!

:smiley:

Bit disappointed that there’s nothing radically new on it. Suzuki seem to have killed off any R&D, they’re just pushing some plastics and tweaking some knobs now; no innovation. Big shame.

'looks like i won’t be upgrading my K7… it looks horrible !!! :w00t:

13

ok, i might have jumped the gun a bit… it might just look better in the flesh. I found some live pics here http://gsxr1000.bb-fr.com/news-suzuki-f45/1000-gsx-r-k9-photos-officielles-t44901.htm.

doesn’t look bad at all.

14

Damn, that’s one ugly bike. I think think I bought a modern-classic, lol. This means that the Japs have totally lost it lately imo. Now if only I could afford an Italian bike :slight_smile:

15

Yeah, but that’s what we all said when the K7 was released…

16

It was a valid opinion back then as well. The K7 hasn’t grown on me since, but others have.

17

i like the white one

i havnt really ridden any gsxr1000s(apart from a short ride on rizs one. up and down a straight bit of road) so i couldn`t possible comment on wat the difference in performance is. think i need to take a couple of test rides… back to back as to compare :wink:

18

Front end looks fine but the rear is a disaster, that has to be the stoopidest exhaust I have ever seen, looks like something out of a cartoon, even worse than the B-King. And what were they thinking when they designed that tail?

19

Please buy a Moto Morini Corsaro Veloce so we can drool over that then, it’s still under £10k :slight_smile:

20

Looks like the Stealth will be staying for years to come as theres nothing in the market that comes close, im with Jay K5-6 are a true classic !!
