I LOVE the Hayabusa motor!!!!
I'll buy one even if they just plop in a stock motor.....
Yamaha must be so Fuc*$^& mad right now, after all the world has been waiting for a MUCH needed replacement to the crusty old VMax...and Now Suzuki steals the show with a bike we could easily see next year. HaHaHaHaHa
I'l also buy an ST bike ( with the Huge emphasis on SPORT!!!!)
from Suzuki with the Hayabusa motor, just add an Auto oiler system and keep the chain.
Where is the SV 1000 Suzuki??? Cagiva builds two naked hooligan bikes off of your TL1000 motor...don't you think that numerous SV loyals would jump at the chance to upgrade to the full litre motor??? BUILD IT!!!!
The V Strom??? Stupid name, rediculous bodywork, assinine pipe placement ( where do we put our travel bags??)
and because it won't sell, they'll assume that we don't want that kind of bike here in the U.S. On the Contrary!!!! We just don't want a hermaphrodite of a design!!!!
Am I the only one who can't believe that with all the models available from Japan's big Four, that there are a bunch of cool bikes that COULD be built but for one reason or another are NOT????????
What do they need to get the CLUE??????????
We don't need Naked bikes with one shrunken testicle.
We don't need STs that weigh 700 lbs and have no nuts.
WE need more holligan bikes that have riding positions of a dirt track racers (those guys are awesome)
I could go on and on but do any of you feel like we could make exciting bikes from existing components????
JMHO of course...
