True but never a Corser model...weird. I also have a slight aversion to buying a 1st year new model. Did that in '97 with the YZF1000 and vowed "never again"....

They did release a corona model. Just not a Corser one.

They released a Corona GSXR1000 in the US? Really? I don't remember that. Hmmm...

Don't be a wanker, nobody said anything about a 1000 Corona model before.

Oh sorry, I really wasn't...I didn't know you were including 600s. If that's the case, they also put out some other WSB 600 as well...I want to say Telefonica Moviestar but maybe it was some other. I was talking about 1000s, although that's not to say that the conversation can't include 600s or any other bikes you wish. Again, sorry if I offended you in any way.

I guess I'll wait and see what Suzuki does next year... Meanwhile, I'll buy either a new car, truck or ATV with money I've saved! Ofcourse, watch my bike will blow a motor or I'll hit another deer!

Are you not a fan of the current gen 1k? Or are you just hoping for something big to come out of Zuk in 11???

3 transmission rebuilds and 2 motor rebuilds...the bike was out for a year and they replaced it with the R1 which addressed all of the YZF1000's shortcomings.
