New GSX-R1000 K6, in black.

 

That's the 750.

 

Bear says...

I thought that was the biggest improvement over last year's model.

Blimey. That's rather nice.

They've at least sorted that gash exhaust out.

Is it? Well I'll be damned. It's worth buying a 750 for those looks.

I'm happy with 750.

That's the K5.

Is it past your bedtime?

There is no difference between K5 and K6. Official word from Suzuki.

 

Lozzo wrote

The 750 has it for the styling I fancy.

 

Bear says...

It hasn't

 

I prefer the 750 anyway.

 

<checks rest of suzuki site>

That's a pretty quick model turnaround for Suzuki - an all-new bike, 600
and 750, just 2 years after the last all-new 600 and 750, both of which
were excellent bikes by all accounts.

Verr verr narce though

 

Ginge says...

I'd prefer a Blade

 

steve auvache says...

There's very little in it styling wise, but if you flick between the two
it becomes clear that the 750 is a totally different bike. The biggest
difference being the exhaust, but all the bodywork seems to be unique to
each model.

 

Bear says...

No, I need 8 grand

 

Bear says...

I am well aware of who makes the Fireblade. I couldn't care less if MZ
made it, I like it.

I'm not blinkered by brand loyalty. If it looks good and does the job
then I'm happy.

 

Bear says...

Tell me what is physically wrong about the Blade? Have you ridden a
CBR1000RR? Can you compare it against the Gixer I have or against the
K5, or ZX-10R for example?

All you don't like is the name on the tank. I would run a mile if it had
BMW on it though.

 

What did you say about my mother?
