Well it's official

It's officially staying the same?

would suit someone as short as me but think I will stick with K6 fiddy 4 now.

Doesn't look very different to my K5. Dont like those curved twin end cans.

doesnt do much for me either

ugly cans - not that that matters in the slightest as nobody in the world runs on stock cans anyway - all sportbikes these days have ugly stock can setups to cope with increasingly strict emissions standards.

other than that it looks like a GSXR which can only be a good thing. if its an improvement on the K7 ill probably end up buying one at some point.

I think the same guy who designed the stock cans for my K8 Busa had a hand in these too! Fugly is an understatement!

Its ok but not enough chrome

Ditto, not liking those limp cans.

What like you get on a Harley Davidson

whoa thats awesome dude........................i see the busy bods at suzuki have REALLY pushed the boat out on the styling front .

dnt like the end cans. i preffer the stubby cans like on the r6 or 6r. the ones on this look rough as.

I belive the GSXR1000 K9 has the same as the hyabusa a "gentlmens agreemeet" on there to stop it going over the 200mph mark

I think its going to be one of the best sellers

interseting write up in this months bike magazine showing that the k5 gsxr1000 has much better low down torque and revs to the new 09 bike and even the 07 bike without losing any top end bhp. makes you wonder if its worth buying a new bike or a 4 year old one that gives better figures

Probably goes like sh*t off a shovel. Unfortunately it looks like sh*t on a shovel
