I just saw the GSX-S750 at my dealer this past weekend. Now it was a naked bike, but it caught my eye immediately when I walked in. As sweet if not sweeter looking then the FZ09. It is obviously direct comp for the FZ09 as it appeared to be a simple bike with little flash or electronics. I didn't ask about price, but probably should have, I'm sure it was cheap. Although I love my N1K, it's still nice to see some competition in the market with the GSX-S models. As for the GSX-S1000F, that era GSXR motor is nothing like the R1 motor, the FZ1 never made any lower range torque, the GSXR motor did in a SS, so I'm sure it will be even better in the ST version.
