Ok, I'll bite...... post the VIN number on the bike. I'll bet what we have here is a pre-production bike.

Sure it does...... the hp figures for non-production bikes means ZERO. Pull one off of the dealers showroom on November and then we will see what they make.

sorry not exactly what i meant.., really is that real running bikes are out there... i know preproduction means nothing.. just as it did with zx14 that gadson had before real ones showed up.  good thing is we dont have to wait till feb/mar to see.  oct/nov is fine with me. tho im sure others want to know more know.

sure thats reason suzuki doesnt want numbers released yet... until mags come out in coming months.. im sure they want numbers to come out the way they want them to.

I'd rather see it in blood red, than orange.  Still, blue is hard to beat.   :D

I'm getting the first one coming to my town!!   :D  My cousin (who runs the Suzuki store in my town) saw them at the show and suggested the orange.  He said the blue is awfully pretty but makes the bike look dated and the black/gray looked kind of bland to him.  I figured since my other bikes don't match, I'll go for varity.  I think it'll look good next to these. (I sold the Monster a while back though)
