I'll hold my opinion until I see one in person. I like the matching leathers
i really wanted pipes out the back(Cykill @ Jun. 28 2007,07:52)+1(VaBusa @ Jun. 28 2007,07:35)
Perhaps I'm in the minority here, but why would so many want the bike so radically changed when we're all (most) Busa fans? We like the gsx1300r, so why expect a gsx1400r? That would make the Busa obsolete...
I'm glad Suzuki did what they did...not a fan of everthing they've done, but I'm glad they've held true to what the bike was built for originally and didn't completely overhaul our beloved Busa. If you want a major overhaul, it's time to just buy another brand of bike...
Everyone wanted new tech add to engine, got it
Everyone wanted brake upgrades, got it
Everyone wanted lighter, didn't get it, but new emissions hurt IMHO
Everyone wanted new inst cluster w/shift light and gear ind, got it
Everyone wanted it to still look like a busa, got it (some changes, but still looks like a Busa)
Everyone wanted more Power, got it. I'm sorry but a 12% increase is a big boost.
I know alot of people had real high hopes. 1400+CC, 50lbs lighter, Turbo, supercharger, Etc. sorry for your luck.
It'll take some time to get used to the new look, but from what i see we (as a community) got what we wanted. and at a decent price point.
The only decision i have is weather i wanna sell my ;04le and get an '08, or keep my busa and add an '08. Current financial limitations say i'll have to sell mine for it, but we'll see what happens with release date. and what happens between now and then.
(VaBusa @ Jun. 28 2007,11:31) I really like the orange one...
Went by a BIG dealer today, their word is NEXT SPRING(VaBusa @ Jun. 28 2007,09:10) From what I've read, they hit the showroom floor in October? Anyone else confirm that?
Maybe we can arrange a PINK and black for you Michelle!(VaBusa @ Jun. 28 2007,08:31) I really like the orange one...
I've never noticed that on my 06(cougar19 @ Jun. 28 2007,21:11) By jerky, I meant the surging the bike does in low gears from the timing retard, in stock form.
after seeing that pic it doesn't look that bad(dadofthree @ Jun. 28 2007,08:32) Ugly arse
I couldn't have said it better myself. +19,999,999 to the tenth power.(Cykill @ Jun. 28 2007,07:52)+1(VaBusa @ Jun. 28 2007,07:35)
