That Suzuki looks like a great bike. A comfortable bike with the TL1000 engine would be about as good a package as I could dream of. PLEASE BRING IT TO THE U.S. !

Bring it with a bandit price tag, then I'm sold...

Hope Aprilia can build alittle more up to the NY Show in February. Blue Marlin? Maybe those Ducati MHE900 owners are going to be on E-Bay abit more. Benelli with a limited edition SBK Tornado? Did they even start selling regular ones yet? 998R? Wow I gotta make room on my walls for the new posters....

The more competition the better. Bring over cheap do-it-all roadsters. That way Honda, Yamaha, and Kawasaki can concentrate fully on flagship-type bikes for those with disposable income, yet the rest of us still have a decent choice of cheap bikes.

Not a chance. Not going to see it in the US.

Suzuki's new US offerings this year are pretty slim. A couple new colors, barely upgraded SV suspension. Oh, and didn't they cancel the TL?

I must have the comet!!!! the greatest bike ever!!! please bring it to the US. can you tell i'm korean?!

I'll take a Blue Marlin and a 998S please.

Way to go Aprillia! that thing is beautiful!

It's not V-Storm, it's V-Strom. Don't know why, but it is.

Either way, it looks like a TDM.

schipwreck · 09-25-2001, 06:19 PM

I dunno, I think there's a decent selection out there now. Plenty of cheap lightweight cruisers, the GS500 for entry-level naked bike, the Ninja 500 for entry-level sport... Plus you get an established dealer/parts/support network.

But yeah, competition's good. I wish Hyosung (sp?) luck. The Comet's neat.

BTW, I used to be a starving student myself. Now I'm a starving adult. That's why I bought a new Bandit 600 this year for $5500. Couldn't be happier.
