$8200 for a blue S model

$8800 for a red or black ABS model.

so the dealer tells me.  I wonder if Yamaha will have a red FZ-1 with more mid range and better suspension?

I paid $6800 OTD for my new 05 B12s. If water cooling is going to pop the price up between 9k and 10k OTD, you might as well spend 20% more and buy a Ninja 14, at least it has been engineered from the ground up and not a make over.

New frame, new motor, new fuel delivery, new cooling...  It seems like more of a redesign than a makeover to me.  In my mind tho, I still wonder why you redesign a bike in this class to be nearly 500lbs dry!!!.  It's now got like 70lbs on the FZ1.  I don't get it.  

BTW Larry, you must have way too much time on your hands!   :duh:

Hello all .  I usually just lurk, but last night I went to pick up a new chain and sprocket set for my 97 blue 1200. My brother in law, who works for a local Suz/Kaw dealer said they had already placed the order for the 07 Bandit.2 models, one ABS one non-abs.Looks like they are on their way!

It's not really a "new" frame.  It has stronger downtubes, which would add weight.  That plus the coolant and a larger catalyzer probably accounts for the majority of the difference.  My guess is that an aftermarket exhaust will slash 20 pounds from the beast, since you could save something like 15 pounds on the old B12.

Still no 6th gear? I've got to loose some wieght on my next bike. I've got the hots for a SV1000. I'm going for handling over hp,and I think I could carve up some roads with one. But the old Bandit will stay in the stable too.  Dan

I think that's a typo on Suzuki's site saying a 5-speed under "Specs".  Click on "Features" and look under the heading "Engine" and you will see it is indeed a 6-speed.  Top gear designed for lower rpm at highway speeds.
