04r1 Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Thinking about selling my 04 R1 for one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 it's good to see Suzuki breathing some life into a model that definately needed it. I'm sure the bike will be awesome and once again wear the top end crown. Unfortunately I've never liked the styling, and they haven't really helped things in that area. I think that if that bike was really a 600 and not the fasted bike you can buy, everyone would agree that it's ugly and it wouldn't sell.

RedRocket1647545505 Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Why only 1340cc? I'd have thought they'd have gone bigger. Not like it won't be ridiculously fast as it is, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted June 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Unfortunately I've never liked the styling, and they haven't really helped things in that area. I think that if that bike was really a 600 and not the fasted bike you can buy, everyone would agree that it's ugly and it wouldn't sell. As long as EVERYTHING on it is 100% functional and designed for maximum performance, I don't care what it looks like. I want what works. People said the SR-71 Blackbird was ugly but I think it's one of the best looking aircraft EVER made... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly the racing sanctions that break up the classes make a jump at 1350cc. If they went with a bigger bore it would have been a 1352cc like the 14 so they just went with a tad longer stroke. This kept it in the lower class at 1340 BUT again this isn't official. We'll know for sure tonight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Why does everyone hate the 14? I Like it, Busa's are like civics, you see them all the time. I have only seen Joe's 14 on the road. Meh, I will not be buying another bike so I guess My opinion is worthless anyway. Cool bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
