Yes , the end of the 1340cc powerplant , maybe next Gen 3 will be a different engine altogether ? Then again , maybe as people such as @fallenarch have voiced , no Gen 3 Busa at all.... especially so when it hasn't been launched for beginning of 2019 or even mentioned that much ..... might be still launched in time for end of year , and that is what I reckon will happen for 2019/20 model release .

A good article-well written.
Well, we still have our Busas and they are still great. We can only hope and wish Suzuki brings it back as a superiority platform.

[Slowstang305]

Loving mine. Hope the gen 3 is not a disappointment!

[Lodi]

Wait, I just got this gen 2. Time to upgrade already?

[Cantab]

I wonder if they'll dump them down here and in OZ....

[Johnnie Phatt]

Hey Lodi. Me too. And no.

Oh good, because I just got my flashed ECU back from PowerHouse. Haven’t had a chance to take it for a ride yet. Cox guards should be here soon too. This forum keeps making wanting to buy a bunch of stuff. Even found myself looking online at titanium bolts. Only a few dollars each, lol. death by a thousand cuts.

I'm planning on sending mine to Frank as well. Please let us know how you like it. Thanks. Jp

Send it NOW!!!!!!!!!
yes, it's a noticeable improvement, especially at lower rpm's.
Add a +3 rear sprocket, and that up's the rpm's around 600, making the power curve just right with more lower rpm timing.
The 2 combined make it a different bike, much more aggressive throttle response!

[Blkoutbusa]

I couldn't get a +3 rear in time, so I got a +2. Still, with an ECU flash, this thing has been awoken! Crazy difference with very little money and time.

this article says the good news is that Suzuki is preparing a 2020 model with semi-automatic gearbox and a better design than the present generation model.

I don't think I want a semi-automatic but hey I will wait and see what they come up with

Just like cars, 20 years from now no one will know how to drive stick shift.

[skydivr]

Maybe then this crazy discounting of used Gen 2's will end for awhile..

[fallenarch]

wonder what semi automatic means? A quick shifter is technically a semi auto.

[Lodi]

Fully semi-automatic?

[justintime2]

Fully semi-automatic?

I see what you did there!
It works just like the shoulder thing that goes up!
