    Love the styling. Well done, Suzuki, except for the tail. It really needs a tidy.

        I was also thinking it resembles the 82 GPz 550 & 750 more than the GS1000S.

          Maybe just me, but I don't think it looks $2k nicer than the regular GSX-8S. And Honda just released the Hornet in the US, which is even cheaper still (and has more power). It's a tough market, and I think Suzuki missed the value mark on this release.

            I disagree because of the style factor. The GSX-8s has the same performance and lower price, but it looks like an crayfish.

              Agreed, I don't think the fairing and some flashy badges/covers are worth the increase for essentially the same bike. It does look better, but price point is too high.

                The complaints about price are awesome.
                products are priced to realize max profit
                not to please the economics geniuses who can't afford them.
                fish wives!

                  fish wives? You lost me there!

                  What is Fishwife slang for?
                  The term "Fishwife" dates back to the 16th century, and originally referred to the daughters or wives of fishermen who sold fish at the market. The term gradually evolved into gendered insult for women who were brash, foul-mouthed, and brassy.


                  I can afford one of these either way. I wouldn't pay $2k more for the new model, though. I'd spend the $2k difference on upgrades to the base model, although there is nothing really wrong with it.

                    Colors remind me of the 82 KZ750.
