            Insert my lost rap on Suzuki here
            If its any consolation to you..
            I remember reading the Zuki rap and liking it too

            You bet..!
            If Zuki were questioned..
            Their reply would be that their designers were just coincidentally 'inspired' by the MV Brutale and the Ducati Monster 696 and are big fans of Massimo Tamburini

                i thot midships were catching on. Y oh Y did SUZI go and ruin the one astheitcally pleasing part? Headlights do seem to be making way for the RAM air intakes as was also seen on the R1....guess the companies arent expecting their customers to ride at night.....tisk tisk.........

                  naked bikes hav b'come a craze and everybdy is cashing on it. worthy effort by Suzuki to keep that price tag down,but I dont think it does hav any possibility hitting our shores anytime sooner than mid 2009.
