I know everyone will start slamming this bike.
Let me give my Opinion.
First of all Suzuki has always been the bike I have loved to hate.
Everyone has one, they win every race (just about), everyone talks so much shit about theirs. In fact most of the riders that I know that I lkie but irritate the shit out of my are on GSXR 1000 guys.
With that said the specs on this bike look very nice.
The bike seems to have a lot of nice angles. The lower front air scoop looks tight as hell. It looks more narrow than our bikes.
I have never likes a single headlight but I know that the dual design is more form over function.
Look at the blinker setup (I don't know if this is for the USA or not. But compared to our bikes that is like 10X better. The rears are nice and intergrated right from the factory.
The exhaust. Yes it is Fugly as hell. I would change that out within hours of buying the bike.
I wonder how the bike will look in person. You can look at all the pictures in the world but it always looks different in real.
Anyway I have no plans on jumping ship as I love my bike. Even if Kawi can't win a race to save it's life.
So what do you all think?

I bet anything that those blinkers will not make it over here.

The writing on the pavement in the shot taken from the back of the truck made me wonder. Going back to the top ones, yah, I see the German banners

I think you will find that the new K5 Suzuki will more than match it with the 10R in all respects they have had a good look at the opposition and adjusted accordingly the luxury of a different model cycle. I have not ridden a Suzuki I didn't like in the GSXR range it is just that I prefer Kawi's instead and lets face it if they were losers why would the two companies be model and technology sharing! Competition has given us the bikes we ride today if no manufacturer ups the anti we might as well all buy Hondas....!

All that G1K is missing are handle bar streamers and leather chaps - the front end remind me of a cruiser.
Seriously integrated the tail blinkers are nice but the mirror blinkers gotta go. No comments on that pipe, what were they thinking?
