Interview with Suzuki Canada

There's an interesting sentence at the end there:

Quote:

Customers dictate what models we produce by showing us their interest in them. We looked at bringing the Suzuki GSX1400 to Canada (North America) for 2005 but we found there was just not enough interest in a big powerful naked muscle bike to bring it in yet…

I can't imagine talking to another guy about my big powerful naked anything.

Not until you've ridden one

Is a cruiser is technically naked?

**inspiron** · 04-12-2005, 05:11 PM

A naked bike is a bike without fairings, where you can see the motor. So, AFAIK, a cruiser would be considered naked.

Good reading.

He really didn't say much.

Every answer was, "we are working on the GSX-R's and the Boulevard's.....blah,blah,blah"

The naked bikes seem to really be making a nice comeback in the last couple years..not that they were ever really gone or anything, but w/ the z1000, new SV's, etc...its really a wide open market, IMO

I wish they went into some gossip with future models and/or improvements
to the current line...
But hey, I can dream
