Ehhhh Suzuki has never been the style queen anyway so why break that habit now. They are known for being user friendly, reliable and showered with aftermarket support.

Sacrifice has to be made somewhere. Beautiful and functional doesn’t always work hand in hand.

Ok Austin…a ZZR is “fugly” to some as well but I’m sure you feel great riding it. Who cares big guy…

Right. I think you might be taking yourself a bit too seriously.. been riding a long time (yes, a zzr 1200 looks and is fast). lighten up, Francis ( old enough for that reference..)

Wonderful retort… From your response, it appears you may not be old enough to ride a motorcycle. Good luck to you when you are old enough to ride one…hope that one “looks” really fast.

Ok, the new GSX-Rs are lighter, have Brembo brakes, better power to weight ratio, engine internals are lighter for less reciprocating mass (spins up faster!), MotoGP technology throughout, etc, etc, etc. What’s not to love as a supersport motorcycle enthusiast?? Does any supersport bike manufacturer really make a bad bike anyway? Of course not and you’re a fool if you say yes! Suzuki has made a major technology leap with these new GSX-Rs which means a lighter and MORE FUN beast between your legs folks!! The body work looks like it will cut through the wind better and provide smoother air flow over the rider…this is BAD?? Come on now!!!

It seems, from the comments on this site, that those who are criticizing this new bike on the looks would rather see their motorcycle resemble a video game than actually work properly. It looks like it does because it DOES what we all want it to do…BE REALLY %#@&ING FAST! Couch critics need to stay to the couch and rip up the virtual streets with a game controller. Why criticize a manufacturer who has won more championships than your I.Q. score totals out to?

Those of you who gave kudos to Suzuki GSX-Rs, kudos to you!! You have brains, obviously RIDE your bike and have passion for the true sport of motorcycling…manufacturers make bikes for YOU. Those of you who ripped Suzuki a new one obviously would rather be leaning up against your steed at a Sonic stuffing your grocery hole with a burger and a slushy while you “imagine” everyone looking at you because you own a “rad looking ride” (FYI…they really think you’re a weenie). You are a poser my friend and need to reevaluate who these motorcycles are truly designed for…people who APPRECIATE PERFORMANCE!

GOOD JOB SUZUKI and EVERY other manufacturer who gives us these unbelievable machines to own and enjoy! THANK YOU for continuing to make leaps forward from those that appreciate your efforts!

in this class styling is not a topic. it’s only function – perfs, perfs, perfs.
This, however, is beyond belief – I WOULDN’T like to be seen riding anything looking even remotely so dissappointing.

Congratulations to the engineers for making a scales-queen out of the GSX-R, a massive engineering feat, that’s for sure. Anorexia and beauty seldom connect, though.

On second thought, maybe the Maz-da MX-three designer works at Suz now?

You are definitely a Suzuki customer, no doubt about it.

your hilarious. the GSX-R has takin the #1 spot in racing for the last 8 years. besides now when they switch riders.. the zx6 by far is a great bike but Kawasaki doesn’t put the money into the bikes that they could. instead they make u buy all the afer market pieces that the GSX-r already have. and if you know how to “gamble” with your dealers.. u can get the suzuki cheaper then anyother bike because they have a high profit price out of the dealers.. grannet the plastics dont look the greatest. but u can switch them out with older ones or buy new ones for about 3-400$
