That's the older model.

Porkchop 03-09-2011 11:29 AM
The new one is almost as big. It is just color matched with the frame right???

I like the smooth fairing. And are you kidding? I'm bigger than the entire bike LOL Want a big fairing? Get a ZX14 or busa or fat ST bike... or an HD... blech

I didn't care for the gladius I rode. Steering is sketchy and the seat has some horrible ridges. The ER-6n is a better choice.

Since working for two OEMs, from what I've seen accountants do not run the show when it comes to looks...that is more a function of market trends, safety or crash regulation (on cars anyway). Budgets are already determined before change up of body work is even started.

Accountants come into play when parts need to be cheapened. GM was always good at this shit.

Somewhat off subject (by ~600cc), why hasn't there been more discussion about the GSX1250FA?
It looks interesting.
Suzuki did not offer some models in the US in '10. The SV was one of them. Maybe they aren't bringing any SV's for 11 either.

They didn't offer any sportbike in '10 did they???

I believe the SVS is only offered in the UK now.

I knew it was limited, didn't know if they brought any of GSXR models over or not...
