I actually quite like that, the black one looks stylish and different and the orange one looks hot!

Might be OK with a different tail unit and pipes, but I won't be trading the 10 for it any decade soon.

Looks like something out of a manga comic. Apart from the exhausts, though, I think it's a marginal improvement over the current model. Still ugly as sin though!

You blokes have no imagination can't ya see the the tail unit is a "chilli bin" for the coldies :lol:
and the exhaust has a fold out hotplate for the "snags" its the complete "camping" package
except for the sign on the back that says "Contact me on channel 88Mhz handle of "gone cruisin"
ya know in Qld we see these Victorians every day :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Fenderectomy will tidy that nicely, built in backrest for those long cruises on the sport tourer, the cans look a damn site better than the stock 14.
Yep I reckon Suzuki have made the styling very eurosmhick, goodonem for tryin, can't say I've been overly impressed with the big K design team over the last few years, ER6?????? ZX14RRRRR??????? '07 10 oh that has now got flames.
Big K need to do something special with some bikes soon or they are gonna suffer even bigger dwindling sales in the future.
I gotta say this and linch me if ya want, if or when(I can get permission :D ) to get another, I think I may venture to the dark side, I was having a chat about this the other day with one of the forum members( won't mention any names, just incase he gets burnt at the cross) that I'd been doin a bit of investigating and big K second hand values can buy a "lot" of other manufacturers bike and I'll be honest when you compare styling of same year models from differing manufacturers Kawa always seem behind.... for instance 2000-2004 '9's compared to R1 or blade same sorta year? ZX6 same sorta year to CBR6? They always 'look' a little dated, don't age well???? I dunno it might be me. Might start a thread he he
