New Suzuki models??? - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Found this article today while browsing. It appears the Euro 3 emmissions requirements are kicking a few models out the door, but bringing in new competition. I'd be very interested to see the GSR 1800 come about. It seems they are toying with the M109R engine in a sporty chasis. Sounds like fun. Here is the article.

Article wouldn't show up. Just a bunch of ads.

Can you paste it?

Somebody has been starting some rumors on another board about a C109T or something as such. Anybody hear anything about that?

I am in love... Found a bike that might be worth getting rid of the bandit for.

GSR 600 is a far more modern motorcycle with both engine and chassis performance that exceeds the GSF 650 by a mile.

Our insider also told us it is believed that the Bandit 1200 will continue in some form or shape.
Let us introduce you to the GSR 1200. With fuel injection and new exhaust with Euro 3 catalyser the bandit 1200 engine should be able to squeeze out a few more years before being replaced. But what about a GSR 1000 I hear you say. GSX-R 1000 features possibly the very best in-line four engine ever with plenty of torque that would have fitted a GSR 1000 perfect. Suzuki may well have planned a GSR 1000 (read this, but we all know how the big B-king concept with GSX1300R engine went. This is what we really want, however rumours have just arisen that Suzuki might go down the "MT-01" road in stead. Our brilliant designer has produced a concept just as gorgeous as Suzuki's original B-king concept in a GSR 1800. Take one M1800R Intruder engine and whack it into a sporty chassis capable of handling massive torque and voila you have Suzuki's answer to Yamaha's torque sports range. Exciting as it may be, we have no official Suzuki comments on either concepts. What we do know is that Suzuki will launch more new bikes than ever before due to the 2007 EURO 3 emission regulations. The international motorcycle shows this autumn will be busier than ever and I will provide full coverage from all of them.

I haven't heard anything about a C109T, but it seems to be a good addition to the line up.

Kaikias, I agree. The GSR1800 seems like a great bike. I would like to switch to something like the SV next season or two maybe, but I may wait longer and go for this one instead.

if they do make it, I can't wait to read the reviews!
