    Ok this resurfaced from October 2005 at the Jakarta motorcycle show.
    Now for some reason I lust after this bike and want to buy it for an
    inflated price, There a re a few concpets the will get ripped out like
    the camera in the nose of the bike but it seems solid and like they put
    a lot of work into the engine.

    So anyone else a follower or excited by this as I am, never having
    riden a straight six has anyone ridden the others like I think a Honda
    had a 6.

    Not in the slightest, but a Morbidelli V8...

    Someone used to ride a Honda six in speed hill climbs years ago. Nice
    noise, shame about the pace.

    No shit. Actually, they still do.

    And Kawasaki, and Benelli......

    Trouble with this Suzuki, I feel, is that lovely engine will be hidden
    behind a gurt great radiator, like on the Kawsaki Z1300. That was the
    great thing about the Honda CBX - the engine was hung out there as a
    styling point, with nothing to obscure the view.
