First post, I think. I don't know: fact?

 

[mvtt600]

Woo-Hoo! Second post, for what it's werth...



anyhow, i've been kickin' around the idea of an SV-1000. should i wait for this rumor to pan out?

 

[edward44]

Third post if I hurry this. The new ball breaker Suzuka is the reincaration of the guzzi v8. They bought the rights and it will produce 260 hp putting them forever in the forefront of the hp race. Buyers will have to sign a release stating their estates will not sue if riding the bike causes death.

What? No turbo??!!??!!

Okay - the fact that Kawasaki is pulling the wrapper off ( and to "my eye" they should leave IT ON) the Big Gun ZX14 - no doubt in my mind Suzuki has an answer - - -my only hope and wish is BOOST KING! Suzy Company - IF- you build it THEY WILL COME!

The Master of MO, Sean said never believe what you read on MCN. So far Sean has been 100% correct....

dude...there are boss hoss' with more power...what's wrong with you...;-)

The Kawazaki 1400 is real. You can see pictures of it on European web sites.

I haven't seen anything yet on the Suzuki.

if its a straigt six, I'm buying one. I am crazy about straight six engines. I will buy any motorcycle that has one no matter what the penalty to width, cornering clearance etc. well, as long as its not a vast goldwing style tourer.



if its V6 or flat 6 or not a 6, blah.

Is MCN "Motorcycle News" or "Motorcycle Consumer News," who uses MCN as their acronym?

 

[Vee_Crunchy]

No, he has not. Ok some stuff on MCN appears to be false or not exactly true, but lets not forget MCN was the first mag to post Gixer 1000 K5 real pics and info last year, they were first to show 750 and 600 K6, ZX1400, ZX-10 K6 etc etc. Half a year ago they said litle B-King 600 was comming, and they were first to show the real pics of GSR600 several weeks ago. They ofen get to test new bikes first, too. So maybe Sean is just a little bit jealous??

This new katana is no photoshop for sure, the pic is just too good to be ps. But i think it can be just a concept model from suzook. Or not.

You can see it here: http://www.motorcyclenews.com/nav?p...1453&articleCategory=MCN-EXTRA_MCN-PROMOTIONS

 

[edward44]

Yeah, but can it lap Laguna at 1'.22.....I'm talking motorcycles here. .

 

[longride]

I never knew the Katana was 'legendary' to begin with. I suppose it will be pretty tough to revive a legend that never was.

 

[seruzawa]

It's in the Guiness Book of Obscure Legends... along with the Legendary Suzuki 40 Year Charter.

Easy link

Here.

The inset on the bottom about spychips on license plates is also interesting.

 

[clearwaterms]

the OLD Katana was a historical bike. back in the day. today's Katana is a red headed step child when compared to the GSXR, but the Katana aka GSX1100 was a beast in it's day

Re: Suzuki DOHC 24-valve V6

Suzuki Marine makes several DOHC 24-valve V6 outboard motors. These are 220-cubic-inch motors putting out 200 to 250 hp.

I guess it's possible they could downsize the design to a motorcycle-sized version.

Guess you must be ________ old to remember to the "legend" from the 80's. Clearly the 90's bike was anything but.

Here's a link if anyone cares

Unfortunately, they both do.

Kinda depends on what your after in your next bike. The SV 1000 will not be the HP King, fastest bike in the west or any of those types of things. It will be just a great all-round bike with enough HP to entertain.



On the other hand if you want to join the HP race and have the year's fastest bike, you should hang on till the latest bikes are out from all the manufacturers. You can then have your 15 minutes of fame and start saving for your next trade up within 2 years.
