Yep, just like the Gixxer, it has only had "updates" since 06.

They are pussying out and not giving us all-new bikes anymore.

I won't buy the current Gixxer, because I don't like how its riding position or how its fuel tank is shaped. The 04-05 felt a lot better IMO.

Yeah well the 06/07 had duals

the second gen had a lot of faults, its really more of a busa fighter than a superbike

The 2 year development cycle has come to an end, I think. Even when the global economy turns around I don't think we'll ever see brand new models every couple years.

Not to mention, except for the Honda, they all have those STUPID dual exhausts.

No doubt! Liter bikes suck! 50% more horsepower, 75% more torque, 60% more CC and approximately 10% more weight than a 600... how terrible!

How about 25% more HP, 25% more torque, 25% more cc's and same weight? 750 is king for a reason. Liter bikes are for race boy posers with small penises.

Oh no...here comes those pesky little 600's and 750's again !!
