Default The Shiver

.......

I do hope Suzuki have taken note..........

I do like it, and I'm very tempted! I'll wait to see what varients come out, or if Suzuki offer something up.

750cc 90 deg V twin, nice useable power with good suspension - it could be a winner.

Any other thoughts out there?

I do like it, the build quailty looks alot better than the SV (not hard to beat mind) and all the reviews have been good so far. If they are bringing out a faired version then perhaps i could be tempted even more, not that i don't like the looks of the naked but for doing some distance riding i'd like a faired version please!! I know im a wimp !!!!

I want a version with clip ons and a sporty riding position, seen no plans as yet for such a variation.

It does look a bit Er-6n with that shock however its something which I would consider if they look to add some wind protection to. I wouldnt mind the flat bars, just dont want to be buffeted about all the time.

The write up in TWO points out that the frame is of modular construction so that they can and will bring out different variations around that engine.

On a personal level I'd want clip ons and (part) fairing.


I'm very taken by the concept......

If it had existed back when I started building up my SV, I'd have got one- it's very close to the bike I'd build myself, even if it is butt ugly. Everything I dislike about it I could replace though. I think stylistically it's a complete mess, more like a collage than a bike, but the spec's excellent, and I really want to see what they do with it next.

I like it, but wouldn't say no to a flat barred version with half fairing. Clip ons are not for me as I head for middle age

Nope. Looks too much like a Trailie.
The Triumph Street Triple is much better looking, and actually cheaper.

The Street has the same sliding callipers we'd all like to change about the SV.
