I like it! Can and everything. Can looks a lot better in real life and it is better than sticking a huge dustbin on the side of the bike.

What's the point of a GSXR1K on the road unless you're a willy waver or a wheelie monster anyway, you'll get more out of a 600/750.
On the road it's easier to ride, lots more torque, never having to look for the right gear. You don't need to be in a position where you can thrash the hell out of your current bike before you move on, more a case of you want a change.

In my case I need to change because of a medical problem, but it looks more and more likely that a VFR will be the final outcome.....

And Jordan I'm with you, they look the dogs danglies in black....

Interesting to see that Supersports bike colours and graphics are getting more and more subtle. Ninjas generally all one colour now and this GSXR Thou looks the most restrained Gixxer yet.
(well in colour at least!)
Not sure about the can, but will probably be the new craze. Still prefer it to under seaters!

If you're thinking VFR, what about the new Triumph Sprint ST.... now that's a looker

Just a thought...

That's like a Gixxer kaleidoscope

I like the can too, it's undeniably funny-lookin' but I think it works. Race reps don't press the right buttons for me but that's getting close...

How much are they?
Do you get a right wing mirror with them normally?
