May be a repost but could not be bothered to check. Smile

Just saw this image of the upcoming naked GSXR thing by suzuki.

I think it looks alright. Razz

A cross between a CB1000R and a Z1000. Yawn.

Basically a GSR1000...

I still am a firm believer of GSXR1000 engine from an 06 wanged into a naked type bike with adjusted gearing.

Why detune it, just downgear it. Make it more fun but still retain the bloody poke.

Too much plastic and it looks all big, fat and dumpy with all the bodywork, much like the CB1000R.

Naked bikes are supposed to have things like bloody ugly radiators and pipes sticking out, and no plastics! Headlamp fairings should be banned, just a single round or square powerful light and MX style bars with a bar pad etc.

Naked bikes should have the engine on full show, even if it's an ugly water cooled lump.

No wind protection, no rider aids, and no big ugly fat exhausts or designer's on serious drugs like the new Kawasaki Z1000's design team were!

I think out of modern nakeds the Original Hornet had just about everything you'd ever want and nothing that you didn't need to have fun. If the CB919 had been a CB1137 instead I might well have brought one too!

I think I'd actually prefer a street-fightered GSXR (tastefully done of course, not a bolt-on goodies special). I always fancied doing this with the K4.

This bike doesn't stand out from the crowd for me - a case of Suzuki with too little too late?

Why do all new naked bikes seem to have droopy headlight syndrome?

I've seen one of these live in the flesh so to speak. It just looks wrong. It looks like it was put on badly and its slipped down the forks.

Sick

Oh, Suzuki, yer aywis at the coo's tail. They need to stop trying to nibble away at other manufacturer's markets with also-rans, and come up with something genuinely fresh and compelling of their own.

Agreed!

Maybe it's time for a mk2 TL1000S, or something else new and different:

1, A GSXR600 powered Dakar desert racer?

2, A 650-800cc turbocharged twin adventure bike to out perform both the darling Triumph Tiger 800, and the BMW R1200GS?

3, Re-visit the DR800 Big concept?

4, A Hayabusa engined Factory Bobber to outstyle the Yamaha XV950, and also have a tyre shredding 180bhp/

5, A twin cylinder road going supermoto bike, about the weight of the DRZ400, but with say 60-70bhp?

The light itself is fine, it's the fairing following the route down toward the forks that makes it look odd.

Sweet another new boring ugly styled bike Sleeping

Someone wake me up when the bike style changes hopefully it will make the change for the best and companies will make some nice attractive bikes for once. Ugly headlights, uglier exhausts and ever uglier pointed plastics.

If this is the future of bikes I better hope someone starts creating parts for second hand early 00's late 90's/80's bikes.

This is why I don't like the street triple. Every time I walk in front of one I want to grab the lights and lift them up about a foot, foot and a half.

This one is the biggest shame for me. Ugly as sin, but I do think it shows that colours make a lot of difference. The write-ups have caught my imagination with the KTM, and I'd love to try one, but still butt-ugly.

Hmmm, more like a Suzuki version of the V-Max? It would be interesting to see a bit of competition in this area.

If you mean the pre-2007 redesign ones, you're right. Handling isn't as good as the post-2007 ones in some respects but they are beautiful little naked bikes, nearly bought one before I put money down on my Divvy. The one I tried was in white, first time I've seen an older Hornet in that colour.

Anyway, that Suzuki looks ugly. Looks like someone weighing 30 stone sat on the headlight and make it sink into the front forks, also looks like the styling is a muddle of KTM and Kawasaki, all triangular, the same mistake a lot of newer Yamahas are making too IMO.

I really like it. Litre bike engine, with more midrange in a naked with supersports suspension? C'mon.

I want a testride.

I was also discussing the potential of building a slightly cheaper variant with Paddy the other night. Concluded that a Cat D K1-K3 GSX-R 1000, with a fatbar conversion & some brackets to fit a GSR 750 headlight could likely give the same effect for a lot less money.


Keeping the massive powerhouse, naked road styling and down gearing. Sick as balls.

Looks like another transformers clone to me
Might be mechanically impressive, but form over function
rules yet again.
Like cars, bikes seem to be getting blandly similar.

OK boringly practical, but the low headlight doesn't help you to
stand out to other road users.
The clocks look way too low to be in your eyeline
Having to keep nodding your head to check the instruments
would really piss me off.
Where would I strap my wicker shopping basket?
Where would I fit my leg shields and throw overs?
Where would I strap my themos flask and service revolver?
That rear seat's neither use nor ornament,
how would you get a pizza delivery box on there?

Bike design is becoming increasingly incestuous Rolling Eyes and not like it's because someone produced something so amazing that everyone else is copying it.

Why not something like this Moto Guzzi custom?

https://thekneeslider.com/images/2010/10/renard-gt.jpg

Simple, futuristic, equally useless seat if that's what gets your rocks off. Yet infinitely more motorcycle-ish IMO. It actually looks like a machine! Compared with what the current mainstream designers are doing, which is more like a child's idea of the future with all those useless sharp angles and their innards covered up because engines and shit are scary.

The droopy headlights only serve to accentuate the design's tiredness, like a flaccid cock.

If I had to have any of these bikes I would swap the stock headlight for a classic 7" round one with a black rim. Can't beat a good ol' round headlight, seriously.

Sorry to bring an old thread up but it just go to show how popular this bike is on BCF Laughing

I'm actually thinking of getting one of these, but as an MT rider i suppose i fit the target group for this as a litre replacement for mine.

Really not a big fan of the headlight but seeing as i wont be looking at it i suppose i can just move on.

The MT09 is a bit lacklustre for me so im hoping the upright GSXS will tick the boxes for me. The seat looks a hell of a lot more comfortable that's for sure.

Ah well ill see what i make of the test ride on friday.

like the look of the black/red one
