Lots of little updates for 2007!

Nice, just needs a turbo with 3 step progressive boost control, 4 psi for 1st and 2nd gear, 9psi for 3 and 4th, and 12 psi for 5th, 6th :P

Added $400 and 15lbs dry weight(20lbs wet?).
Electronicly adjustable steering dampner?
Dig the 3 position mapping for street, sport, and rain riding, can't wait to see the difference in the hp/torque curve between the 3 settings. I imagine with a PCIII you'll be able to adjust each of the individual maps?
12 hole injectors are sweet.
Still no cassette gear box? Not important with street riders but some of the higher level privateer road racers could use it(drag racers maybe?)
Staying with the three way adjustable pegs, I've been saying it for years, no reason stock bikes can't leave the factory with that as long as the highest position is high enough for track duty, lowest position for street stuff.
Rear disc mounted on top of the swingarm for less effect on the suspension? Interesting.
Kinda mix on the 07 model still, some really good ideas but alot of people have critisized the Honda for being heavy, then the ZX10 gained a little weight while the CBR lost a little and now the GSXR gained it too. Doesn't help having three mufflers. Now that I think about it, looks like the R1, CBR1000RR, GSXR1000 and ZX10R will all weigh basically the same for 07. Unless Yamaha releases a hellacious monster...

Oh boy my wife is gonna flip!
I was being sarcastic....
the entire bike is new
This thing is gonna be a beast once you dump the exhaust!
Here I broke it down for you all!
Read and weep!
Goin to the dealer next weekend!
New Engine
New 999cc 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine for increased power, torque and acceleration with
-forged aluminum alloy pistons,
-chrome-moly shot peend connecting rods,
-hollow camshafts,
- secondary balancer shaft for reduced vibration
-New more compact fuel injection system features the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve System (SDTV) - with twelve smaller holes for improved fuel delivery and steeper angle for secondary injectors
-New intake and exhaust ports are reshaped and eight percent larger
- larger titanium exhaust valves,
-more aggressive camshafts,
and iridium spark plugs
-New Idle Speed Control (ISC) system for improved cold starting, consistent idle quality and reduced emissions
New high volume Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System (SAES) with equal length head pipes feeding a unique under engine chamber leading to two compact aluminum/titanium mufflers on each side
The new mid-pipe includes a Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) system for maximum torque throughout the rpm range and an oxygen sensor used by the engine management system and combined with the under-engine catalyzer for reduced emissions
New larger 48mm ventilation holes between cylinders reduce pumping losses
the crankcase breather system now features a reed valve to prevent pressure waves in the airbox from reaching the crankcase
-New self adjusting hydraulic clutch minimzes changes in clutch feel over a long race
-Back-torque limiting clutch allows smooth downshifts, plus a rack and pinion operating system provides more positive clutch feel
-New engine management system is four time more powerful than the previous system and allows the rider to choose from three engine settings to match riding conditions with a handlebar mounted switch
-New larger radiator utilizes a trapezoidal shape seen on works racebikes with 10% more cooling capacity. The oil cooler now works with a larger oil pump.
New Chassis
All new aluminum alloy twin-spar frame is built using five castings for lightweight, unmatched handling and performance, increased production precision, and reduced weight.
-New braced aluminum-alloy swingarm is more rigid and features an innovative new link system which pivots on the swingarm itself for increased traction and reduced side loads.
-New DLC coated 43mm forks and rear shock now feature high and low speed compression damping along with adjustable rebound and preload settings
-New forks feature larger 56mm outer tubes below the triple clamp for increased rigidity and fork offset is changed from 30mm to 28mm. Front wheel travel is also increased from 120mm to 125mm.
-New electronically controlled steering damper uses a solenoid valve to move a tapered needle reducing or increasing oil flow to adjust damping force.
-New adjustable rider footpegs can be moved into three different positions to suit rider preferences
-New 310mm front brake discs are attached to the carrier with 12 floating mounts instead of 8 for improved heat transfer away from the disc and are also thinner at 5.0mm for reduced weight
-Rear disc works with a single piston caliper and is mounted above the swingarm for reduced braking effect on the rear suspension
New wind tunnel developed bodywork features an aggressive new style, reduced frontal area and a taller windscreen for optimum aerodynamic peformance
New vertically stacked headlight features an updated shape with a compact projector bulb and when combined with the sleek bodywork and tailsection offer maximum rider mobility and improved styling
A new easy-to-read instrument cluster includes a step motor controlled analog tachometer, digital LCD speedometer, dual tripmeters, clock, convenient gear position sensor, rpm indicator light and a new LCD engine mode indicator displaying which performance setting has been selected by the rider
Close-ratio slick shifting six-speed transmission with an adjustable back torque limiter for smoother downshifts.
cast aluminum wheels featuring thin spoke design with optimized wall thickness to reduce unsprung weight
