New Hayabusa coming?

Could be......

Very interesting. I wonder if it is all new?

 

Analog gauges? Really? Who does that anymore. Maybe its made in China.

 

Drag race guys seem to be all excited for a new one but I’ve heard nothing to confirm besides this.

 

Apparently Suzuki does.

 

It's Euro 5 compliant and has BNG, otherwise 20+ year old tech and design.

Hard pass.

But hey, if 300 rear tires and 40" swingarm's are your jam - party on!

 

I can’t believe they haven’t done much since 98 with this bike. Design a new motor and lighten the chassis and upgrade some goodies and it would sell a ton I think.

 

have you seen a modern Busa rider? Calling them a rider is generous.
On the flip side Kawi has done ridiculous stuff with the 14 and the H2.
Good street duty hyperbores with enough ass to put a smile on your face.

 

Screen shot is from the video. Power levels, traction control, quick shifter, and what's "LF" ?

Looks like air temperature for some unknown reason, and a lean angle display?

 

Lean angle on a busy?

 

So if you think they sucked for 20 odd years it still holds true ??

 

Lol at guys wanting a sport bike 'busa.The majority of guys who buy them could care less about the way they handle(compared to a real rr replica),saving every last ounce,very latest suspension,etc.It's a wonder they did the 2008 update because they would've sold without it anyway.

I know this isn't a group that really appreciates it,but you can't really go faster for cheaper on 2 wheels if that's your thing.It's the small block chevy of motorcycles.

 

I still secretly want one. A white one.

I just think it’d be fun and also funny. Some people say I’m a tad bit on the height challenged and seeing someone a bit short riding one would be funny.

 

We'll call you "White Shine" dragacers will get it.

 

I think those look nice, tbh. All these TFT dashes will look super dated in a few year’s time. Gauges are timeless.

 

They could have done so much with that motor all these years.

They could have made a nice naked version (not that B-King bullshit), and a really good ST bike.

I know a lot of people put bar risers and aftermarket bags and use them for that purpose. But it would be nice for Suzuki to make a proper one.

In other words, take a hint from Kawi.

 

Recall gauge

 

Seems like it would save everyone time and money if they just came that way ex factory.
