Looks like the ninja 500 wont be going away. Its still in the '06 lineup but they are being tight lipped about info suggesting that it may be getting a redesign. The pics shown of the '06 ninja 500 look like the same old ninja 500 just in team green colors

PS - GSX-R 750 makes 63.4 ft*lbs http://www.bikez.com/motorcycles/suzuki ... 0_2003.php
