Default Official new 2011 Suzuki GSX-R600 and GSX-R750 photos

News Link




These are the first official shots of the 2011 Suzuki GSX-R600 and GSX-R750. The heavily revised bikes are due to be revealed at the Cologne Show (this upcoming weekend), but were leaked by Italian website www.motoblog.it.

No details accompany the shots, but a quick look through the pics reveals both bikes have Showa Big Piston Forks for the first time (as the current GSX-R1000 has), new Brembo radial four piston calipers (which look like monoblocs) and new discs too, and repositioned switchgear with the mode button now on the left.

The gearbox looks like it is stacked very high, suggesting that Suzuki have gone down the route of raising the engine’s centre of gravity and leaving room for a new longer swingarm. The tank and exhaust have also been reshaped.

YES! After not releasing any 2010 models in the US, I'm pleased to hear they've done something for 2011.

I don't see too much of a difference with the 2011 Gixxers, but sometimes you can only tell if you have the former model side by side with the new one. I'm sure the changes are mostly on the inside anyway.

For other motorcycle fanatics, Kawasaki is debuting their 2011 model line up tomorrow on Oct 5th. The new ZX-10 is supposed to be a monster I think.

Almost looks like they reverted back to the way the 1000 looked a year or two back.

No love for Ducati? I love the looks of the 1198.



The new Suzuki's look good. They always have some of the most stylish looking of the Japanese bikes. I haven't been a fan of the new Honda and Kawasaki liter bike styles and the Yamaha R1's just keep getting uglier and uglier each year IMO.

Nope too conservative for a bike.. I dont know something about it doesnt flow right. Name excites me more than a bike (see I am a badge ***** indeed)

Never liked Hondas CBRs, current Suzukis look really good in person but my fav bike to ride is R1. So nimble and so light and very confident. But god I have to try out the new 2011 Ninja!

I do think that new Ninja is the best looking one today but not the best looking ever That honor goes to Agusta F4 and Benelli Tornado.

Suzuki mechanicals seem sound, not diggin the look. Used to love the gixxers from around 2000.

Kawasaki looks mad.... Love it. Duc 898 IMHO is one of the best looking bikes out there today.
