So that was a load of bo**cks when Suzuki said they can't get the 1000cc vtwin engine through the new emission laws as to why they stopped producing our beloved SV .... They have missed the boat yet again as they have with the new GSX-S1000 being marketed 10 years to late..

What a great bike a SV 1200cc engine in a GSX-S1000 naked would be...!!!

I love the new electronics on the 1000. To me electronics are just like insurance, I don't want to use them, but I'm glad they are there in case I make a mistake. I can definitely see my Versys being replaced by a new V-Strom 1K. I believe safety in a motorcycle should be approached like it is in aircraft, avoiding accidents.

I got a chance to ride the new 1000 at Austin last Friday! :headbang:

They had the standard and XT version there but no 650.

Anyway, it's a big bike is the thing that stuck out at me most. Very similar to the L4 model engine wise so if I got one it would probably be a older one with the beak. Sorry about the pics, damn cell phone rotates the pics and has a mind of it's own!
