I'm speechless.




as much as i dont really care for Kawi's, i kinda like the look of that *thing* Its definitely distinct.

[legalspeed]

Looks suspiciously like the B-king, don't you think?

Can you say merger!!!???

[oreo_n2]

Maybe !!!! But is that really a good idea?

Combining two crappy bike companies into one... does not equal one good bike company!

sounds like the start of the HP / compaq thing.

Since we're on the subject, the seat and rear tail is shared with the '03 GSX-R 1000.

last I checked Suzuki was the smallest of the jap 4, and had the second most valued stock. I'd say good for Kawi, good for Suzuki.

Suzaki-Kawazuki?!?

[oreo_n2]

hold on, time out, what were you referring to with the B-king part, i think i misunderstood ya.


i do like the zook's, even if they are modeling new stuff after elephants and bridges.

The B-king is a concept bike. 1300cc 150mm front tire, 230mm rear, 210hp at rear wheel, stats could be wrong, but close.

Looks ugly as sin.

[oreo_n2]

D'OH!
i thought it was a buell reference.

my bad yo!


Well in that case, maybe suzuki can just kinda absorb Kawi, take their few good idears, and shit out the remains for decomposition.


bwahahahahAAAAAA !!!!

[oreo_n2]

yep, ugly... and (in my best Mick imitation)FRIGGGEN HUGE!!!!!!!!!








check some details out!!!!

fuck, dude, no defense for HPQ from me... sheyit.

but really, the only thing i don't like about the kawi is the exhaust pipes... i think it'd look better w/ two normal pipes. *shrug*

I think your info is old, a year or two ago, I read somewhere that Suzuki is the #3 company worldwide in units sold behind Hardley & Honda, but I could be mistaken, maybe they were the #3 jap company.

The way I undersatand kawasaki & Suzuki have not merged, but they have agreements to use common bike designs and swap parts, still two completely separate companies

Supposedly, they're only 'sharing' off road models. The streetbike segment is not supposed to be affected by this...
