Mr Leigh 01 September 2004, 17:06 The New 2005 GSXR-1000
Well, it just goes to show you can never please all the people all the time. I loved the shovel nose featured in MCN and was looking forward to owning one of the first.
The new one is a mess! Its like new and old, the shovel nose, like on the MotoGp bike would have carried the daring looks right through the bike.
Feel kind of deflated, how sad am I lol.
bobbby's girl 02 September 2004, 16:53 seen next years gixer in mcn yday, i really liked it, apart from that exhaust, but that is easily cured with an aftermarket howler!:)
bet it is still too high for me though being a wee girlie biker struggling to get feet on ground
Richard Askew 02 September 2004, 16:55 I love it!! Pleaded with the dealer principal here to let us have a Suzuki franchise for 05 ;) :D
Danny B 02 September 2004, 20:47 Yuk :(

Taff107 02 September 2004, 20:52 what are they thinking with that can? It looks ridiculous.... :mad:
fastfrank 02 September 2004, 21:01 what are they thinking with that can? It looks ridiculous.... :mad:yeah, it looks like something off a scooter. I reckon that'll get changed by the time its released.
Mogsi 03 September 2004, 15:03 Looking at the high res images on Suzuki's site... It looks like the exhaust is an all in one. So no easy swap there ( unless you want to change the WHOLE system! )
Agree with Mr Leigh, I really really liked the shovel nose concept that was knocking around, and must admit I am dissapointed they didnt follow that through..
asagi 03 September 2004, 16:25 yeah, it looks like something off a scooter. I reckon that'll get changed by the time its released.
Blimey!!
THe bike looks like the best gsxr for a while, but the exhaust-ouch!
Bravo2zero_sps 03 September 2004, 18:39 What a hideous monstrosity!
Puff The Magic Wagon! 03 September 2004, 20:11 Feel a new bike coming on :D

martinl 05 September 2004, 18:47 Love that exhaust, shame about the bike.

virgin 05 September 2004, 20:04 puff, i didn know you where into bikes, what u got now ?
moses 05 September 2004, 21:02 i thought it was a beauty :)
Puff The Magic Wagon! 05 September 2004, 23:05 puff, i didn know you where into bikes, what u got now ?
Yep - biker for nearly 20 years but at the moment not got anything. GSXR750s throughout the 90s but sold my SRAD to notoriousREV nearly 2 years ago now. Just going back into London in the courier game (office honcho). Not riding anything atm but thinking maybe a DR400 for the odd parcel & for where I live, but I've been thinking about a thou for a while now :D
Puff The Magic Wagon! 05 September 2004, 23:06 oh & wifey has promised me a bike for me 40th :D
martinl 06 September 2004, 11:05 I got a set of one piece leathers for my 40th.
We never grow up ,do we!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
brickboy 06 September 2004, 14:15 Fairing = good
Exhaust = bad
Why don't they do the "shorty" pipes, one at each side of the bike, like on the GP machine? I know the road bike's not a V4 but it would look cool :D
virgin 06 September 2004, 18:26 same hear , love the scoobs but bikes are my true love, no car can replace the experiance of a bike, performance bike or other
virgin 06 September 2004, 18:30 oh, and the gixer thou , dont like the silencer , the welding looks messy ,the design could be better and if you drop the bike the cost would be silly, but performance gains would be simpler.
