Latest 1200 ST video

Now... before you discount it, check out what it actually offers in terms of innovations with the engine, the chassis and the braking system

Watch it in HD full screen for best quality

I seem to remember Suzuki telling us what was on offer in terms of innovation for the TL1000s for the Rotary Damper et al and Honda with its fuel injection on the SP1, to name but two. Anyone who has ridden them will without doubt testify to the gap between marketing hype and real-world riding. Hope this is an exception, we shall see.

Had to laugh at a lot of things said, especially the 'this is a bike that's meant to be dropped on its side'. I think if you drop this you'll have a hernia to go with your depleted bank balance! We shall see.

This will no doubt continue to provoke response and debate.

Ok I do like the look of it. There seems to be some really good ideas on it too.
But �13-14k is a lot of money to go off roading with especially if you drop it. Just think how much the repair bills will be.

My brother works for BMW Rider training in South Africa and they teach a special technique to pick up large bikes. He is built fairly small/short compared to the usual GS rider and they are astonished how easily he can pick the bike up. Picking up the pig is not that big of a problem when it lies on the ground, the weight matters most when you are trying to balance the bike while loading a pillion, back pedalling or very slow speed manouvers.

Try telling that to me when I've fallen-off for the tenth time and had to pick it up, on a hot, sticky day, either in sand or mud. The air would be blue and charged with anger!*!*

I've stood next to it. This bike is not 'meant to be dropped on its side'!!.
