Suzuki officially released photos and specs on the new bike...

Looks good, more power, smaller tail section, more compression, shorter stroke, and a new exhaust that will get ditched quick anyways with a aftermarket. Lets see what colors the US will get...

Looks a little different than somebody else posted earlier...
LOL

[NoVa]

so its an 08 with a different exhaust

 

[JEWPRA]

I like it, hate the exhaust but that is a easy fix. The bike looks good.

More power, shorter stroke, shorter wheelbase, longer swingarm, new headlight, new fairings, new tail section, higher compression, new engine, new exhaust, relocated intake section, lighter, enhanced throttle response, better handling, titanium valves, forged pistons, just to name a few differences...

 

[turbomopie]

That looks legit as ****. Lets see how much faster they are.

 

[SLOBRA]

Damn that's minty.....would cry if i dropped it

 

[LiL MiSS]

Hmmm so not really too much of a difference? GAY

Yeah, its just a brand new redesigned bike, not too much difference.
But your too concerned about aesthetics to understand.

 

[slowLSx]

i still preffer the new r1

 

[HattoriHanzo]

Higher redline, new guages

New brakes, Tokiko from Nissin

New forks, Big Piston Front Forks like the 09 ZX6R

New taillights, tail section and turn signals

 

[HattoriHanzo]

And I did a little photochop to see it without the ugly pipes...

Well, at least they didn't seem to add any weight and it may have lost a few lbs. according to the specs. Quite a revision on the engine actually. Other than peak HP/TQ, I wonder how the bike revs and such given that the redline has been moved up. I thought it was already a high revving engine.

Before the bike was a long stroke small bore bike, and thats why it was a beast in the mid and top. Now it has more bore and less stroke, and a higher redline, new pistons and rods, valves and a cylinder walls with less friction, so it should be interesting. I wouldnt be suprised if it made as much power as my bike with mods stock on the same dyno.
It also has a cable operated clutch again, so the drag racing fans are gonna love that. My hydrolic clutch is such a bitch to get off the line, but so awesome for daily riding. Also most graphics on the bike are gone, the 1000 on the tail is inprinted into the tail fairing.

Im thinking if my mods fit on this bike, it may be sitting in my garage next year.

Here is another chop...

Im lovin it.:icondrool::icondrool:

I'll take two please.

 

[H0NDA BiTCH]

it looks nice, and i love the color especially, but still hate the exhaust

I think most people hate the exhaust. Its hideous and the bikes one major flaw, but easily fixed with an aftermarket exhaust.

 

[HattoriHanzo]

US colors were released yesterday, but still yet to see photos of them.
US is getting Black/Matte Black, Blue/White, & Red/Black

If they had orange/black it might have made me get it... but nevermind...

 

[HattoriHanzo]

MSRP is $12,199

Lower than the 09 R1 and higher than the 09 ZX10.

Thats over $1000 more than I paid for my bike with EVERYTHING included. The dollars dropping and making bikes more expensive for us.

As previously stated, the exhaust is gay. Other than that not bad, but I agree with AJ, I prefer the R1.
