At the end of the day when manufacturers compete we (the consumers) always win.Think about why every couple of yrs these companies make a brand new literbike.If yamaha and honda also step up to the plate and start making hyper fast touring bikes we will always have something new to look forward to every few yrs.The "New and redesigned" busa is something that people have been talking about since 2001 but every yr its the same bike with different color schemes(Tufbusa @ Dec. 13 2006,12:08)Well, I could have lied and said how every aspect of the busa is wonderful.(RedlineStands @ Dec. 12 2006,08:36)(Tufbusa @ Dec. 11 2006,19:44) My busa is cool because the brakes suck, the suspension is worse, the plastic drags every time I lean it over and every 600 in the county passes me in the corners. All my buddies run up behind a busa and say. "Oops, it's a busa! Pass him on the inside because I know he's going wide on the exit"It's a big heavy dog but I do have an emotional attachment to my beloved busa. I'm on my fifth new busa and I look back on them like women, I loved them all. I'm anxious to see what 2008 will bring us in the busa.
Now that was a bit harsh! This even coming from an R1 fanatic.

Btw board, Vman1300 wants a gsxr1000.....To The Gallows!!!!!!!!!!!Well, it's not
The bus is a great all around bike but the only thing it really excels in is straight line speed (now the 14 seems to have surpassed her in this area). The old antique girl looses in every other aspect of life. Although some think it's the most comfy ride and it truely is for some but so is a GoldWing!
It's been eight years since the busa burst onto the scene taking the world by storm and has had no major updates since. It's anaquated analog instrument cluster is totally outdated (Give me a digital speedo and gear indicator, PLEASE). The tranny shifts like a bucket of bolts (Get on the Gixxer1K and see what a shift should really feel like)Still has protruding rear blinkers. The brakes and suspension are probably the poorest of any performance bike on the market today?
We who still praise this beast are living in the past and I'm as guilty as the next. It's high time to make major changes to this relic. I have high hopes that Suzuki has come to the realization that if they don't improve the busa, it will soon become a dinasour? From the whispers I have heard from Suzuki, I think we will see an amazing new busa late next year? Complete redesign! We'll see? If not, I think I have purchased my last busa until something changes other than the paint.
Harsh, you say? Well, I guess I am but technology waits on no one, not even Suzuki? Suzuki has put all their technological updates into thier Track Bikes and since the busa's sales have only increased each year, there has been no reason to make expensive improvements.
Good bike, no! Great bike, yes! But Please Suzuki, don't let us busa lovers down! Give us a taste of new technology and we promise to remain loyal
