Yep, the unrestricted B-king bin file still doesn't have the umph that the unrestricted Busa has, and once you see the airbox and it's inlets, you'll wonder how the engine even runs, lol

There have been 2 recalls on the Reg / Rec, the recalled part got recalled ! Easy for a dealer to check.
Some bikes had clutch bolts work loose and touch the cover, the noise is a bit of an obvious clue ! (Suzuki skimped on the thread lock)
No real issues otherwise, they are what they are. 16.5 ltr tank isn’t the best, and they aren’t the best for pillions or luggage, but that’s not their role, they are a big brute and a fun naked bike. A proper Super Naked in their day although less so now.
Some parts swap with a Gen-2, a lot don’t.
Had mine on the road since 2007. I wouldn’t have one as an only bike, but it’s a great toy that’s never failed to make me smile.

I find the brakes fine, but I have a lot of older bikes that are piss poor so anything with radial brakes in the last 20 years impresses me.
Stock suspension is generally considered as soft.
There’s a heap of proper upgrades but the Gen-2 Busa forks are a bit firmer, a Gen-2 rear shock is also firmer but longer, so you either get a jacked up rear of you need new dog bones to correct it.
It very popular with owners to change the factory 200/50 rear with a taller better profile 190/55 (I run a 190/55 S22) if they like corners.
Gen-2 Busa wheels and B-King wheels swap over, but the cush drive hubs don’t, 1 is taller than the other.
If you’re not familiar with removing the tank and side pods do some homework. Not a drama once you know but not like most bikes. I’ve had a dealer break a key surround and seen folk struggle with the side pods. Once you’re familiar they aren’t hard.

I remember seeing pics of this years ago and people said it would never be made. This Hayabusa motored naked bike is slated for production. Its set to hit Europe in August 2007. I personally like the look of it and as long as its not detuned it should be one scary ride! Check this site Suzuki...
