Basically... it looks like they just made the same changes as they did to the GSF650 last year.

And what is this?!?! (from the same site....)

Looks like the Suzuki B-King... which Suzuki denies is going to be made/sold this year.

Looks good to me. Neat color. Changed up the side covers. Polished aluminum crankcase cover instead of black. What else?

PaulVS · « **Reply #4 on:** September 15, 2005, 02:39:34 PM »

New forks, brakes, and fairing (better headlights!!!)

Also new gas tank, seat, side panels, cowl, and rear fender.

Mechanically & frame-wise... I think it's identical to the previous 2nd gens.

I wonder if the speedo is more accurate.

Very nice! Big cosmetic improvement over the '05. If I wanted something that looked like that, I'd buy a GSXR - it literally kept me from buying this year. I wonder what colour options will be?

nah. I don't like the front as much as the 2g.

It'd look better with no fairing and a round headlight.

What can I say, I liked the 1200n...

Hmm, the naked version has some sort of spoiler thing that looks like it bolts onto the headlight bracket or something. Kind of begging for a fly screen that could be bolted in place, instead of that filler piece.

I wonder if we'll see them in the US?

Doubt it.

So which one is the best.. 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Gen

What that naked one needs is a National Cycle Deflector DX! Tinted!

I hate bugs.

Guys,

For more pictures: http://www.suzukibanditclub.nl

Both 1200 and 1200S are present and also the first picture of the GSR-600. (AKA B-king 600)

Enter by clicking one of the pictures, goto "forum" and then "algemeen"
then you see the topic 1200 and 1200S K6. (or a similar topic-name)

I like it.

But it reminds me a lot of the Kawi Z750.

Hey Adam, you an Aggie?

I was suppose to graduate from A&M in 2003; however I had some personal problems arise, so I moved back to New Mexico.
