    Also, I forgot to mention the elephant in the room: That picture of that drag busa. Is that yours RedBull?! Either way, it's badass. Sorry, I haven't been on the forums that long.

    Favorite 2019 Busa color...

    I'm glad to own the gen 2 even if it's considered "outdated". I am shocked that suzuki didn't have to make a new model for the euro 4. I really think they're just trying to save money by squeezing out the last of the gen 2's from the production line, as it would cost them a lot in R&D for a gen...

    No new busa for 2019?

    Wow I can't believe I'm 22 days late!!! Ever since around this time last year I had been researching about a very possible gen 3 'busa! Especially after reading this article: https://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/news-and-views/news/2018/january/2019_suzuki_gsx1400r_hayabusa Last time I checked...

    Thank you so much! Man is every busa owner this nice? It just seems more welcoming here than on gsxr forums which I'm also a member of. Yeah I never want to get rid of it. I was honestly waiting for the expected Gen 3 for 2019 to come out, but at the same time I have been really wanting a gen 2...

    New from Texas!!!

    Thanks!!! Yeah I'm in love with the bike, So much that I think my 600 will be neglected a little bit . Anyway, it has far exceeded my expectations so far and will probably be in my garage for a looong time (as in I don't think I'll get rid of it) haha.

    Hey guys! It has been quite a while since I have posted on here. Well, for those of you know I have only had one motorcycle (my '07 GSX-R 600) that I've had for about 2 years. Well, yesterday, I finally got my dream bike. 2008 Hayabusa LE in Candy Max Orange and Pearl Nebular Black! 14,369 miles...

    2018 Hayabusa Released

    Wait a minute--if all you want is just a different color for your bike, why not just order a new fairing kit from monsterfairings.com or kingsfairings.com? Also, since you said you want black/gray OEM plastics from the 2015/2016 year model, you do know that either of those sites can make those...

    Hayabusa's Losing The Competition Against Newer Liter Bikes?

    Yeah, it's actually a centrifugal supercharger which LOOKS and behaves similar to a turbo. For CARS it's essentially a turbo with a pulley on it and has a blow off valve. In the case of the H2, it makes boost by the gears of the S/C instead of a pulley like you would have on a car I believe.

    Hayabusa's Losing The Competition Against Newer Liter Bikes?

    I did not realize that a flash of the ecu would also increase boost! Well THAT makes much more sense as to why it gained so much power. I did notice that the torque seemed low for what mods were done. This is especially considering that it basically stayed the same as when he got it dynoed stock...

    Well then that's a damn good thing that I am in the market for a Gen II 'busa! Reliability really is everything because performance means nothing without it and I'm glad you pointed that out! Thanks OP
