If we can't get a 2010 FZ6 then how about this?

Looks kinda cool. The color scheme reminds me of a Diamond Back bike I had in the late '80s though, when everyone was BMXing.

I would be wary of the side pods; the ones on the Gladius are hideous, but you can't tell from the side view. In person they're a complete turn off.

I agree with the de-tuning comments. Why why why??? Maybe so we lose fewer newbies? Maybe, but why punish me??

That is a sexy bike.

If it comes to the US, and if it's specs aren't de-tuned much from the GSXR750, I may consider it over the FZ1 in a few years.

There are rumors to that effect, but they're unfounded so far. Yamaha is being tight-lipped about it like usual until the 2010 line is announced later this year. We're all waiting to hear yes or no from Yamaha.

I've often thought that if my FZ6 was a 750, it'd be the perfect bike.
Maybe we'll see an FZ7 or FZ7R in 2010?

Faster and Faster: Suzuki GSR750 rumoured to be in the works…

Is Yamaha going to stop offering the FZ6 in 2010?.
US or Canada?. Fact or fiction?.
I`m considering a 2009 FZ6 is the reason i`m asking.

Only Yamaha knows... You will have to wait like everyone else until about mid September. That's when Yamaha announces the upcoming years motorcycle product line....

Based solely on looks, I like it. Thats quite an achievement for Suzuki because I think 90% of their bikes look horrible. Only way I ever want to see a single headlight is on a naked bike. Need to see more angles though, there might be some nastiness sticking out sideways.

Triumph MIGHT be making this soon. 2010 675 (or 750) Tiger.

Extremely tempting!!! Looks very familiar doesn't it!

Love it... an FZ6 with a little more (dare I say midrange) power and better suspension. If the FZ6 gets discontinued for 2010 then at least we can buy this.... I love my Tiger 1050 especially the engine, so I am expecting good things from the Cub....:thumbup:

I have been told in another forum that the pictures in the link above are fake and no "Tiger lite" is planned by Triumph. Anyone knowing something different, please let us know.

If I ever buy another bike it's going to atleast have USD forks...

I had upside down forks once.

Dropped the bike while rolling it up a ramp onto my truck.

Upside down bike too.
