Word is that Suzuki have an 1100 six in development and it's styled like the Katana.

It looks good, but imagine trying to clean all those headers & in behind them. You'd have to pull the oil cooler / radiator off just to access the top of them.  Wonder where the oil filter went.

Del, you looking at the screen in direct sunlight or something?  It's gold / lamb-shit yellow on my screen.  Or


Could be because we're on the other side of the world n thus get an inverse colour to you chaps standing on your head in the top half of the globe.  ???

Were there any proposed specs at the time of the release? Some more details would be nice.

Boss at Suzuki has said there is a need for a big naked in their range, so hopefully this will be it and if it's physically big enough I will definitely consider it.

I like it.
The styling is slightly reminiscent of the Moto Guzzi Griso - which was a success for that company. 

It's encouraging Suzuki bosses haven't abandoned the idea of a big naked - and these days if you want to do something like that you have to catch attention.

Would be a bugger to keep all those pipes clean though, I somehow suspect any production version would have a different exhaust set up.

And I hate to think of the price.....

At the London MCN Bike Show yesterday had a look on the Suzuki stand - same tired old bikes with fresh paint jobs, nothing new.

Suzuki really do need to develop and release something, they are rapidly getting left behind by other manufacturers.

Did they not have the new gixxer thou there, they had a launch at Philip Island.
It's a bloody good bit of kit I'm hearing.
The beginning of new things I hope.
