Holy swing arm, batman. I think it looks rough.

IMO (and from a obscure perspective) it looks like a solid improvement. Much cleaner in shape, graphics are uninspiring as usual, but definitely cleaner lines, as I find most current Gxr's lardy. The 10 spoke wheels is nice and probably good for handling. I notice a lot of motoGP ques, and that swing arm looks crazy. Underseat exhaust seem to be the trend, and in saying that because we all better get used to it with the trend going all bike will have it soon. The front end seems to have an interesting ram portage, e.g. zx9, zx6(pre 03)... being objective good for suzuki to make some moves, I look forward to seeing it. The bike has a much more purposeful look to it.
