Suzuki isn't stupid. They know those bikes haven't sold and won't sell in the US. The SV650 and the Gladius are both too damned small and cramped anyway, so who cares. As for usefull bikes, the two V-Stroms, the DR650 and the DR-Z400 are in the 2012 lineup for the US.
Voided, I agree. When I got my SuziF, I'd asked the dealer about the 2012 version, so he showed me the distribution list and NADA.... My dealer here is quite big in Suzuki, so I think his take is spot on, meaning they haven't announced one by, means we won't see one.

No need to read the tea-leaves, Suzuki U.S. announced their 2012 models about 2 weeks ago.

the SV650S is too cramped. the SV650 is Nice, and the SV1000 is Wonderful. the gladius sits and rides nearly like ours, only a lil lower, and lil more purse-friendly, haha.
I saw a guy on a gladius at the dragstrip a year ago, when I had the body panels and no front fender, and I blew his pink and yellow socks off.

but anyway, my next bike is going to be a VFR800. period, the end. or a Buell. it's decided,. which nicest, best deal comes down the pike first when I get outta the navy. or even sooner, perhaps. I'm gonna put a ultralight chain and sprocket on the 650, the 1250 intake box and runners, new plugs, new brake pads, and new shoes when I get out of basic/ait though, and I'm going to get some timeslips, and dyno passes.

Just checked the Canada site and HOO RAY still have 650. at lest that will keep part costs down, but i did notice the 2012 cost of the 650 Canada model with standard ABS $8,000 dollars.

I think most countries (except the USA) still get the GSX650F.
That MSRP of $8,000 is down about $1,000 from what it was for 2011 (Canadian prices are about 20% more than the US's are). I expect the GSX650F to sell for about the same price in Canada in 2012 however (since the dealers discounted off the list price by about $1,500 for the last 3 years).

So, in a nutshell, Suzuki is still making the GSX650F as we type - and selling in all the usual places except the US... Right?
