2015 S40's
10/27/14 at 09:15:05

This may be old news, but I had been waiting for the 2015 S40's to come out hoping they would have new colors this time around. They delivered! Not sure how to feel about it though, because they're single color. Unlike the most recent past few years they had the orange/black and teal/white color scheme two-tone designs (which I thought they did a darn good job at). Anyways, have a look for yourselves tell me what you think.

They may have had these colors before, not entirely sure

Japanese love big fat stock mufflers. Even a sleek bike like a GSXR and they stick this awful looking can on it. Do you think it has to do with "noise" requirements?

But simply hidden would be the best.

Hence the GSXR's wheel positioning. Models are getting a bad rap for photo-shopping, Suzuki wouldn't dare risk their "baby" getting accused of being photoshopped. Grin

So Suzuki should go to school on what Chevy did in 1969 with the 302 Z28, ship a performance exhaust in the trunk. Better yet, if they throw a whole S40 in the trunk of a restored Z28, they could sell a bunch of them. Listening, Suzuki?

Good Hunting

But the S40 has a 40lb can on one side. Must be some heavy valve stems...

(But then they spelled out SUZUKI on the bottom of the bike).

I typed "360 2015 GSXR 1000" into google and one of the picture that came up was this...

Looks like they didn't like the SUZ. But were attached to UKI. hahaha

Similar colours were used in the early mid 2000s. It's cheaper than the more attractive two tones.
