Looks like 107hp@10,120 RPM at 414lbs wet. Formidable at ~$8k!

Yeah, I believe it replaced the FZ8 in their lineup, no?

A buddy of mine who just got into motorcycling for the first time chose to buy one of the last brand-new FZ8's over waiting for this 9 because he discovered that they made the seat height something like 1.5" shorter or something like that. So, for his 6'4" frame, that was a big deal.

Looks like a pretty sweet 3 cyclinder -- and more low-end torque than the FZ8.

For ~8K that *almost* makes me want to consider straying away from the duc...

From this angle it reminds me of the '80's Nighthawk.
But I like it.

Is there a reputable magazine test anywhere to verify that 414# wet claim?

The next SV?

I wonder how long it will take to see if you can fit a R6 front end on this bike... new middleweight triples class to compete with the lightweight twins would be awesome.

How much is Suzuki asking for whatever they are calling the SV650 now?

The SV650 is long gone. It was replaced by the Gladius a few years ago.
