Suzuki has upped the ante with a 1000cc, relaxed position sport bike that WEIGHS THE SAME as the FZ6R: the 2016 GSX-S1000F
I'll say it again, a 1000cc, 145hp, 78.2 lb-ft, full faring, $10,999 fizzer clone that weighs only 474 lbs.
Now I know that we rabbid FZ6R fans are dropping thousands to gain +5hp with Marthy exhausts and flush mount indicator lights. So the new Suzuki GSX-S1000F seems like a bargain for horsepower junkies. Personally I like the FZ6R because I am 5'8" and find the seat height ideal. The GSX-S1000F is way too tall for me at a 33" seat height (according to Motorcycle Ergonomics). But for those of you who are not vertically challenged I think this bike makes a lot of sense. It looks like a sleeper track day beast!
