Hearing from all 3 guys that "it needs more development" and "hopefully by the end of the year it's ready to compete with the others".

I understand it absolutely will need development, I'm just surprised to hear so much of that at the intro.

They never really showed the bike that well. They deemphasized this it seems. Maybe some photos will surface in the next hour.

Even if it is the 2018 model... its Suzuki. Which means it will have different graphics and maybe some different shock settings

I agree, it's not radical but at least it's new. Digging that blue / yellow / black color scheme.
