It seems its gone longer, lower, wider, and bigger rear tire. Must trying to separate it from the Gixxer line more. Its a shame they are taking away its cornering prowess, and forcing it into a straight line character. And whats with the diminished fuel capacity???

Na Bro, thats a miss print, think thats the B-KING specs

 

[kosskesh]

I agree... lower, wider and smaller fuel tank... Can't say I am impressed.
I like my 2008 version compared to 2009.

Those horesepowers need fuel. With the 2009 edition you must stop more often
to refeul.

 

[HillbillyTom]

Yup, pretty amazing. Length, width, heighth, wheelbase, chain length, gas tank size, tire size, etc.. is exactly the same as a 2008 B-King. And according to this "spec sheet" the 09 Busa only comes in black/matte black.

I dont think suzuki is willing to change the model, I mean how long did it take for them to change the older busa. So i think its just color. But I love my RARE 08 BLUE

I am just reflecting what is on Suzuki's website, genius. ???

There is no such rare color. It's just what people in a certain area go for. What you see a lot of everybody likes and what you don't see they don't like. I was back home in NC and I saw Blue /Black and Black/Gray all the time. That is not to say there are no Orange ones around. I know of a few people with them it's just everybodies trying to savor their bikes or something like it's going to spoil them if they ride them. I am very fond of the Silver and Grey 09 color. I wish there was a copper one though. Maybe next year.

There are 4 or 5 reponses in other threads addressing this obvious Suzuki website misprint. What baffles me is that they still haven't fixed it!

 

[standiggity]

[ToXSicK RoCKeT]

[freponyryd]

Hell Yeah I love to down a couple of brews (aliby) and jump up on a short fat chick, then I make motorcycle noises "BRRRRMMMMM"
