Sportbike Buyer's Guide Resources
Discontinued Models
Here we have listed bikes that didn't make the grade for the '11 lineup. Not included are models that have been replaced with a new or updated model, such as the BMW K1300GT makes way for the K1600GT, or the Ducati 1198SP replaces both the S and R models. Note that Benelli is completely absent from this year's guide; the company was in flux as we went to press, with no news from the company about what models will be available this year. Finally, just because a model has been discontinued doesn't mean it won't be built anymore, or that you can't get one. For instance, in Suzuki's case, the majority of its "discontinued" models just have overstock that needs to be sold off (cheap) before the company can import new year models.
