Might just make yamaha redesign the fz1 to keep up if it makes it here?

Being a former Gixxer rider, I'd be real interested in this.

I'm with Ballmead. Had a gixxer 6 and 750 and currently building a k10 600 for the track. The only reason I came to Yamaha was to get the FZ1N... - not that I am complaining about my FZ lol

What a terrible mock up. It sounds like it would be awesome. The tail section and front fairing need to come together a bit more.

Is it me or does it looks like three header pipes?

Don't care for the look but a Gixer is 182.5 hp? and this one 150hp? Out of a 1000?
Uffda, sounds scary fast

That pic is just a mockup of what the magazine thinks it will look like.

Sounds kinda along the lines of the fz. Chances are they are talking bhp and not rwhp.

The mock up reminds me of the old GS700, similar lines. Now they need to let Guy Martin slap a turbo on it.

Suzuki bring this bike to the USA!
Its about time Suzuki got on board with the other companies, :welcome::woot:
I also like the BMW, but they are NOT $13k in CA. They are $15.5K and some LA Honda dealers have 2013 CB100Rs for $9,999.

Found a nicer photo. Not sure if this is the confirmed design or just a concept, though

Kind of a cross between the gixxer and the B-King, doesn't look all that comfortable for two up riding. I rode a GS1100E for 22 years, followed by a SV1000N before getting the FZ1.

sebastians correct, a gsxr does not do 182.5 to the ground, they're most likely referring to bhp.

Suzuki GSX-S1000 Naked Bike Spotted in the Wild
I like it! I like that particular colour as well!
The front headlight reminds me of this muppet:

Has anyone ridden the Honda CB1000 R or Kawasaki Z1000 Bikes?
A co-worker said his 2012 GXZR10000 has a much wider power band than my FZ1, because the Yamaha makes all the "Scary" HP above 8k(his words).
If the other two (and this new Suzuki Naked bike) also have better HP and torque in the mid range, I might look into a new bike in a few years.

I really like the CB1000R. I love the looks and the ergonomics and the general personality of the bike. It's similar in concept to the 919 it replaced; litre bike motor tuned for grunt and smoothness in a very nicely handling chassis (according to reviews). That certainly described my 919! It's old tech now days, very outdated. The Kawi is supposed to be heads-and-tails ahead of the FZ1.

I would replace the bike's pipes(YUK), but I love the look of both(especially the Honda). Thanks Dustin.
