New GSXR1000

Some crappy phone pics from the Paris bike show have appeared on MCN.

And a official one:

I've no doubt it'll be one hell of a bike but I can't help but suspect
that it's going to be even more sanitised than the last one.

I know that it makes sense to let riders be able to strangle the
power of a litre bike merely by flicking a switch but I just can't see
me buying a bike with that facility, let alone ever wanting to use it.

Fugly as ****. I suspect they 'styled' it by making a full-size clay
model in the rough shape of a motorbike, then gave modelling knives to
a coach-load of epileptics & switched on the strobe lights. What is it
with the Japs these days & their 'leave no flat area untouched' school
of styling?

Oh, & it looks like a very lardy tourer in the head-on shot.

I didn't much like the front-end of the K3 thou / K4 750 at first, but
as the earlier models aged the stacked headlight look seemed a bit less
grim. Now I think it looks quite lovely, to the point that I'm happy to
stick with it and may well find a K3/K4 thou on my shopping list for
the spring.

 

They really are quite mental..

I like the K3 over the newer machines, especially with a tail tidy on &
smaller can.

 

****!

Yeuk. It's another "origami" bodywork bike and there's no way that I am
going to have a bike with MCN's web URL as a paint job.

 

Apart from the exhausts I don't think it looks that much different
from my K8.

And any rightminded owner would put the standard cans in the bin
anyway.

 

i think it's not paint as much as a sort of graylight 2d projection that
follows you around everywhere on the bike and always looks like it's pointing
towards you no matter what side you look at it from.

 

YTC.

As Adie pointed out, the 'my K8' was a bit of a giveaway. So I repeat -
ytc.

Unreliable? Fucking cheek - it's never missed a beat I'll have you
know. Unlike Ben's previous piece of unreliable Jap shite...

heh - I'm reminded of a magazine's [1] description of the styling of
the ZX10 (not the 'R', the 1988 one) as "looks like it was styled
using a model, then they set fire to the model, and then put the fire
out with baseball bats".


[1] Bike, I think, but it might have been PB

 

Gixxer expert no, but at least my comprehension is up to date you dumb
fucker

I may be a mong, but I'm definitely not a Yorkie

 

It's about time you got that sorted.

 

Yeah, he needs to accept the inevitable, let it go and get something
else.
