Anybody seen these yet?

http://www.media.suzuki.com/mc/

The 650 looks nice and I love the blue 'busa.

I just don't get the B-King.

Maybe I couldn't get the site to work right, but I didn't see any Bandit, and no GSXRs at all Headscratch

I think they were just showing the new for '08 bikes.......not their entire line up.     Busa looks nice and that new gsx650 looks like affordable fun.   That b-king is insane looking and it sounds like it's busa powered.   Suzuki's really coming on strong.

The Hayabusa looks puuuurdy and B-King looks funky but damn cool. I'd buy one  Bigok Not sure how well what is essentially a naked hayabusa will act though, that kinda speed with no fairing?!  EEK!

I agree Hayabusa is looking good... Cept for that ugly rear end. B-King is not my cup of tea, but I'm trying not to make my final impression before I actually sit on one.

Interesting 650 cross, kind of looks like the Ninja 650r.

The B-king looks like a V-Max knock off.

I'm gonna think of Burger King everytime I read about the B-King now.  Thanks Flowbee!   Crazy Lol

I'm sure the bike hauls ass, but that cat's-eye exhaust is just plain ugly.    Thumbsdown

Busa finally looks decent from the front... and even MORE hideous from the rear... Crazy Crazy

Which isn't fair, because most will be looking at the damn rear all the time! Bigsmile

Guess not.   :pokestick: Shrug

This is only a partial release of 2008 info. Probably more news of BNG to come as well as the 600/750 GSXR updates and lord knows what else. Kinda unusual to release new/updated model info this early.

Yeah, perhaps there's still hope for a V-strom update...  

Seems like a lot of manufacturer's are releasing their new model info earlier and earlier...

I can't believe you guys haven't commented on the GSX650 (other than to compare it to the Ninja and SV's). This thing seems to me to herald a long awaited update to the Katana's that isn't just BNG and a different flavor of Jellybean skin. Borrows from the 650 Bandit I assume, but the big deal is the oddball kanatuna skin is gone (along with the moniker it would seem).


They're gonna sell a boatload of these, I predict. Inline 4 and cheap (without looking like a clay sculpture too long in the sun). Beginner bike HO!!!
