Well, back to the matter of Suzuki's '10 offerings, what thinkest thou?

I'm thinking I want to see it person.  It got me interested enough to go test ride a 1250 Bandit, and I must say, what a great engine that bike has.  Offer that motor up with better wind protection at a decent price and I might be sold.

Impatiently waiting for 2010 models on Suzuki's website.

My Italian is not very good, but this link seems to show some BNG for the GSXR's.

Well, back to the matter of Suzuki's '10 offerings, what thinkest thou?

I think it looks good, no radical style change, the fairing just more refined.  The tank looks the same.  I was hoping that they might change it a bit.  Being long of limb, the top of my knees contact the flared out sides of the tank, so when I test rode one a while back it was kind of uncomfortable with my legs splayed outward.  

[Mr.Black]

Looks just like mine with different plastic and the engine is black.

*yawn* I'd look for a leftover if I were in the market for a Bandito Grande.

I was looking on Suzuki's site the other day and for many of the models you can click on the 2008 version of each model.  The price on the Bandit 1250 went up by $1000 from 08 to 09 - WTF?!?!?!  

They hold their value for shit so it's easy to pick up a clean low mileage bike for decent $$.  I love my Bandit but this new one isn't worth the asking price IMHO.  Or I'm just living in the past..  $9k for a mediocre bike?  

[CGameProgrammer]

At the beginning of 2008, $1 was 107 yen. At the beginning of 2009 it was 90 yen. A 16% decline in exactly one year.
A 2008 1250S was $8300. A 2009 is $9300.

Converting the US prices to Japanese yen, a 2008 was 888k yen on January 1st and a 2009 was 837k. That means the bike is actually cheaper now, from Suzuki's perspective: 6% cheaper. They're reducing their profit margins to try to keep the price as low as they can, but the dollar is total shit so the US price still increased $1000.

Then they really have some problems with whomever is trying to launch their 2010 webisite because it came from here. http://www.suzukicycles.com/Product%20Lines/Cycles.aspx and there is no ca in that. Its also been taken off so someone must have caught the mistake.

here's another Suzuki website winner... http://www.suzukicycles.com/Product%20Lines/Cycles/Products/Hayabusa/2010/GSX1300R.aspx

in Latin (as of 2009-10-07, anyway) ? for Suzuki's Roman customers trading in chariots

Any news on 2010 from Suzuki?  I haven't really seen anything except the updated Bandit.

[Dave the slave]

It's starting to feel kinda late in the fall, and Suzuki still hasn't released anything for the 2010 USA lineup.  What gives?  Anyone got a hook up with a Suzy dealer?  If so you should ask if they know anything... inquiring minds wanna know

[Rincewind]

The good news is that they finally seem to have a 2010 link on their website -
http://www.suzukicycles.com/Product%20Lines/Cycles.aspx?year=2010

The bad news is that it doesn't show anything besides one cruiser model so far.

Yeah, I noticed that this morning.  I was excited until I clicked on "2010" and realized the only 2010 model is the M50.

I'll just keep twiddling my thumbs.

[Dave the slave]

More new model.... colors.

Hayabusa and GSXR1000 pics up on the USA site.  (but for some reason routes you to the Canadian site when you click on them... the price scared the crap outta me at first!)

[Dave the slave]

Practically NOVEMBER and we don't even know the colors of the returning models for Suzuki.  I'm kind of surprised.  Do you think suzuki is troubled financially?  Perhaps they are hedging their bets for the 2010 models, waiting to see what they'll import?

I'm getting anxious... my wife wants a gladius and I'm interested to see the colors for 2010.  OR if they bring the rumored Stratosphere to life... (although the economy probably killed it.)

Any info on the interwebs?

The first IMS show is Nov. 13th, I would have thought the 2010's would be on the site by now. Even if there are no changes they should have the colors up already.

I agree, this is rather odd.

[2006FJR]

I heard the IT guys were layed off and they have not found a replacement yet.  

All kidding aside, I like this new direction for Suzuki and I would have liked to see it as a 1400 ST that goes directly up against te FJR and C14, 1300GT. If it looked good and was priced right they could have a pretty hot machine on their hands. I don't think this is it.

 Now I am confused the  Canadian Suzuki site is now showing the 2010 gsx1250 abs ( bandit) updated like the euro model but...they are also showing a 2010 gsx1250 SEA ABS touring identical to the 2009 model. Prices are up too.

It looks like the Bandit moniker has been dropped for the 2010 model.  Makes sense since Bandit = GSF.  The older Katanas were GSX's.  I hope they don't bring that name back.  

I have a feeling the 2010 lineup for Suzuki will be a big disappointment...

 I will reply to my own post Suzuki Canada has now fixed the above screw up and now shows the updated touring model @$13299.00 not bad price .
