Today the Intermot, also known as the Cologne Show, has kicked off. As expected, we will try to bring you all possible news at Plusmoto so you can experience the Cologne Show, and I say this with a certain redundancy, as if you were at your own show.

The first thing we bring you is a couple of limited editions that both Honda and Suzuki have taken to Germany. First, the wing brand has brought us a special edition of its CBR600F, painted in the colors of the LCR MotoGP team and, obviously, of Stefan Bradl. It will feature an Arrow aluminum exhaust, a rear fender and an individual seat. Unfortunately, it will only be sold in Germany, at a price of €9,999, €1,000 more than the standard version.

As for Suzuki, to celebrate the million GSX-Rs sold since they began marketing them in 1985, the Japanese firm has put on sale the 1985 GSX-1000R, inspired by the colors of the very first one they made. As for the mechanical or chassis part, there is no news compared to the 2012 model.

For 2013, Honda is not going to change anything on its CBR1000RR Fireblade, except for the option to buy it in two new colors. Much of the blame lies, without a doubt, with the new “customer racing” V4 and SBK that Honda is building.
