New bikes at EICMA
Discussion
I knew about the ADV suzuki thing but hadn't seen a pic yet. Looks better than a Versys1000 by a mile, and will easily undercut it price-wise. Those engines are fantastic. Is a great competitor to the BMW S1000XR, just needs a decent size tank!
That 8R looks very tidy too, post tail-tidy fitted obvs

they look fabulous - but why oh why can MotoGuzzi just about get away without a s
t rear number plate holder, and the bikes above can't.
That Suzuki is a absolute joke. Talk about silly rules !
Every time I buy a new bike now, I won't take delivery until they've sorted that - which means some main dealers I can't buy from, as they are not allowed.
Big independents are good

The DUKE 990 was on the possible list, but KTM seem to be on a roll in producing ugly bikes, first the 890 SMT and now this. Sorry unless it looks way, way better in the metal/flesh I'm out, in fact the 2024 MT 09 SP is looking better by the minute.
It can't just be me can it? I've not been let down by a KTM in the past but holy st what a minger.

it's almost so ugly it's pretty? It can't just be me can it? I've not been let down by a KTM in the past but holy s
t what a minger.In that picture, I don't think the orange stripe on the floor is helping, as it's squaring off the lines of the bike.
That said, I bet from the front it looks like the preying mantis as usual!
Don't mind them - but I couldn't bring myself to buy one yet!!

I'm most excited by the new CBR600-RR.
Those Suzukis' do nothing for me.
Here in Australia we continued to get the CBR600RR. The current model is incredibly rare. It came out in 2020 and after a year Honda hiked the price of it by around 60% ($AUD15,699 to $25,999). It's now $27,599. Which is 10% more than a GSXR1000.Those Suzukis' do nothing for me.

It always looked odd since the introduction of the model imho.It can't just be me can it? I've not been let down by a KTM in the past but holy s
t what a minger.It does not look too bad in action when you don't see the lines.

I'm not sure I could name a pretty KTMIt can't just be me can it? I've not been let down by a KTM in the past but holy s
