^^^ I wish. Thats a nice bike.
 
Suzuki introduced the new GSX8 S with a 776cc parallel twin. Claimed output is 83 hp at 8500 rpm and 57 lb-ft of torque at 6,800 rpm. Handsome bike.

New V-strom 800 DE also introduced with the same engine.

Both are already on the U.S. Suzuki website with pricing listed as TBA.

The Moto2 edition, with a more powerful motor developed for the series.

Triumph have unveiled a new limited-edition version of the Street Triple to celebrate their continuing role as engine supplier to the second tier of GP racing.

The Street Triple Moto2 Edition starts life as a more powerful, updated version of the 765 Street Triple RS, which is made more special with the addition of fully adjustable Öhlins, Brembo Stylema brakes, clip-on bars and a paintjob fit for the racetrack.

... and the return of the TransAlp, so far only to places with actual Alps, 'n' stuff...

Imho the TransAlp has the potential to sell really well. The mid-range ADV segment always has been hot. The only real contender from Japan is the V-Strom 650 (now 800), the Tenere 700 is a bit more off-road oriented. And many buyers steer away from the prices/maintenance associated with European brands in this category. So yes, let's see when the bike comes to the US...
 
Badass for sure, 650ib ordered one of these AND a '23 BMW S1000M with all the goodies. His comparisons will be interesting whenever they get delivered.
 
Trans Alp and a new VStrom, woot woot

Not sure how I feel about the 21 inch front on the VStrom. I kinda feel like the more twisty capable front tire was one of the strong points of the lower, less dirtbikie VStrom.

Aren't they keeping at least some of the 19" wheel, v-twin V Stroms?

I've read that we're not getting the Trans Alp here in the US. Honda wanted to give Suzuki a sporting chance to sell their new 21" wheeled V Strom here. :ride
