I quite like the idea of that.

Where did it come from? Looks like and R6 and is the face lift it need. However a full fairing defo required.

Not Suzuki unfortunatley, it was someones attempt on MCN.

Now if the can was swapped for something better and ditched the snow shovel, it would look pretty good.

Oooh...........shiny.

I would buy that!

What is it. GSXR panels and exhaust on an SV. That rear footpeg hanger for the pillion looks orrible.

Why make it look like a GSXR its not one, make it stand out. make it different.

The pointy SV is one of the most instantly recognisable bikes there is. Why loose that and make it look like every other generic bike there is ( says he with a GSXR in his garage )

Agreed. But but.......oh but I still like it. They could have a twin headlight jobbie on the front. Problem is, teh SV is cheap bike so they will probably use the current design for quite a few years yet, rather than start again.

Where's the rear shock?

Agreed, don't like the Honda inspired pillion pegs, but at least they look removable (unlike Honda's) The paint job on the tank - which is at least 30% of why it looks so good is not going to happen on a budget SV.
Why has it got 2 sets of rear indies?
Agreed with above it should not loose the rear LED lights of the Pointy - the most distinctive rear lights of any bike!
And what's the point of designing a bike without a hope of being feasible - no rear shock

It does look like someone's basically taken all the bits off a K7 thou and stuck them on there. Why doesn't someone photoshop a new design, rather than bits off other bikes?

Because that needs imagination.
