When do they (Yamaha, suz, etc.) release their list for the next year models? nothing has been said yet right? any word on who will be changing out their current setup like suz did this year? if not what do you guys think?

 

i think more bikes will be styled like the new gsx-r 1000.

 

i hope they bring the steath K5 gixxer 1000 to the us for 06 and ill buy it. its all black if you have not seen it.

 

The 2006 gixxer is already on suzuki website.Its only the 1000. The red and black color scheme is back.On the site the say it will be lighter 8-20 pounds depending on the comp And it will be faster.

im there right now, and omg! the red&black looks sooo good
where did you read the 8 to 20 lbs lighter thing? "8.8 to 28.6 pounds lighter than its closest rivals"

 

One word says it all........WOW!

 

My friend just got a 05 black/silver/red gsxr 1000, its not my favorite styling, but it is nice no doubt..

 

I'm guessing Suzuki will be the only middleweight to go through some changes (ie;lose a few pounds)..I'm 99% sure that Honda's CBR 600RR won't be touched,other than color scheme's until 2007.They recieved some big changes for 05,so they'll hold onto that until atleast 07.

 

What about the 1000RR? Is it due for some weight loss and mo powa?

I'm looking forward to that. I like the 1000RR but the weight and power keep turning me away. why pay more for something less?

 

I'm interested in seeing if any of the open classers (ZX-12R, Busa, CBR-XX, etc) are going to be redesigned for 2006. I'm starting to wonder if this class is dead.... it's starting to look that way.

Eh, I wouldn't go that far. The 1000RR is only $300 more than the other 1000 cc supersports. If you're paying $11k for something I hardly think $300 is going to break the bank.

As far as raw power its up there with the other bikes, I was just saying if you're gonna update the bike might as well give it more juice. It is definitely overweight compared to the other bikes so I would say they need to improve on that.

By all accounts the 1kRR is the easiest to ride of the supersports which is something that is very important when you're talking about bikes with that kind of power. Its great to have 140+ rwhp but its useless if its difficult to put it down without going into a tank slapper. That said, 2006 1000RR should have more power, less weight.

 

Had some busa enthusiasts from out of town this weekend tell me that the 06 busa was going to be a 1500??? They said the hayabusa design team got sore when the 05 1000 beat out the busa in the 1/4. I dunno how much truth is to that, probably none. Just what i've been hearing. I think suzuki might be in for a change on the 07' 600's and 750's, but as of now they are keeping 600 and 750 designs.

I think a 1500 busa is a little toooo much.

 

Everyone always says the next model year busa is gonna be this or that....

No one REALLY knows unless you work for Suzuki.

 

we need that black on black gsxr 1000

 

Personally, the busa is a tank and no longer serves a real purpose besides insane high speed cruising (perhaps autobahn). The better 1000s only lose to it in comfort, they outpower, speed, and outhandle the busa. Id like suzuki to can that model, its just an eyesore.

 

i heard the gsxr 750 is going to have the same look as the gsxr 1000

 

2006 Yamaha R6 is what I am looking forward to. Rumor has it that there might be an undertail exhaust.

yeah thats true but then again you need to remember that there is $ in it. 95% of the busas sold are in the US. why? because there are so many people out there who want the biggest baddest bike out there. How long has it been since the busa was totally revamped? I don't know the answer to that so i leave it to you guys, now compare that busa to the 1000cc bikes of the same year. imagine the technology of today with a 1300cc motor in a super light weight package like the K5. i grantee it would sell. sure it wouldn't handle as good as the 1Kcc bike but it would be a high speed cruiser which is why people would buy it. as for the 1500cc thing i keep hearing the same thing. I saw a concept photo of a busa that had a headlight of the K5 and sharper fairings rather then the super smooth ones on the current busa.

I herd a claim that a dealer in England had a brochure from Suzuki of a factory supercharged busa for 06' which I think is BS but you never know, even if they listed it at $15,000 im sure it would sell out.

 

most ppl i see but not all riding busas are posers most dont even now how to ride and they buy that boat, chrome it out and think they are the ****.here is the steath k5 i was talkin about its sick,to bad its not in the states.i wouldnt mind the red/black one.
