    I like how they took the signals out of the mirrors and put them on the bodywork...................

    Seriously.... wtf on that... They were ahead of the game back in '05 on that little detail.

    They have more than 3 spokes. The wheels are good.

    cgordon3 I need a new bike...

    I saw that.... why would they do that? Kinda like going backwards isn't it?

    it's not awful aesthetically, but doesn't blow me away with design.

    if it does everything it says it can and do it well, it will be a fantastic motorcycle. But I'll believe it when I see it.

    I think it will look awesome in the more traditional graphics/color scheme.

    My guess on the mirror signal light location is longer wiring harness equal more weight and eventually cost. Who cares we remove that junk anyway. It's primary job is a racebike first, streetbike second or am I on the wrong forum. :D

    That exhaust routing is bothering me. The tab that sticks up out of the can is odd and means exhaust manufacturers will have to either incorporate it into their design or rework the whole thing altogether. Weird.

    What's wrong with it? Looks pretty basic other than the stock can being huge to meet noise regs across the world. The Akra above looks easy enough.

    Steeltoe What's my move?

    TBH this bike to me looks like Suzuki cobbled some stuff together to make the Eicma show less of a letdown. It is a concept after all. I don't think we're seeing the finished product. Supposedly they moved the entire project forward as it wasn't meant for the light of day yet.

    IDK, but this bike, to me, looks awesome. It looks like it has a lot of Moto GP design influence. I hope they can deliver. I'm sold.

    I don't dislike it. I'm just not floored by it. The VVT technology is interesting for sure.

    So is this a finished product or not? Cause it looks like a SV650 to me...

    New chassis
    New engine
    Variable Valve timing
    Quickshifter and auto blipper
    Ride by wire throttle
    Shower style secondary injectors
    Follower rocker arms
    Two servo valves in each exhaust header balance tube
    10 level traction control
    Launch control
    Drive mode selector
    Full LED lighting
    200HP
    ABS
    LED dash
    New Showa fork and shock

    Well, if you put it that way it's impressive.

    Nothing gets you some bitchin street cred like led lights.

    Looks good to me but it's like they saved the headlight for last and just tossed on off the 03-04 model and called it good.

    I just realized that image is a photoshop of the original with an akra can and the headlights brushed out.

    I'm sure this bike will be tits when it's officially released. Better than a ZX-10 out of the box and once Yosh gets ahold of it, plenty capable of giving Josh and Cam fits on a regular basis.
