Here's the replacement...

You guys are too much..     Whatever you may feel now, I think Suzuki is going to make a mint $$ and sell alot of 08s.. Well, they still got my money but they aren't selling me a new 08 Busa. I took care of my own problem and got what I wanted anyway. I don't regret it at all as of this...

You'll get tired of no wind protection on the Bking. I've owned standards and there's no comparison to the busa when it comes to distance and 80+ MPH.

You must have talked to my dealer cause thats what I did...

BTW, I've read a few things about how smart Suzuki was to just change it slightly and truely keep it a Hayabusa. I'd have to disagree. The Hayabusa at the time was a statement. They should keep it as one and instead of updating the bike it should have been discontinued and replaced with a new...

I was looking for more myself. I bought an 07 because I wanted a new "old" style. Then when the new 08 got released I had planned on trading in my 02 for it. After seeing the pics and the specs which although are an improvement still aren't as jaw dropping as I wanted to see them. I truely...

Like many others I think I was wishing for a little more out of the new busa atleast from the stuff I've read on the net anyway. But.... Now that Kawi knows what Suzuki is sending out this year and since they only need what 5-6hp to top the Bus what makes anyone think that Suzuki will ever even...

I think they stole the boulevard tail end...

Rolling off the gas IS blipping...

How do you carry a fan around for when you make stops?... Seems pointless to only do it when its home.

I've never bottomed my suspension on braking unless there were bumps in the road at the same time as the hard braking. If were truely talking about panic stops, which I don't have anyway, your wheel is locking before you have enough weight transfer. Thats regardless if the suspension is set...

I would disagree. More dive will promote better braking. It allows the energy to transfer from horizontal to vertical putting more weight on the front tire. If it didn't dive the energy travels strictly horizontal and there is better chance for lock up. Thats why the schools will tell you to...

I'm not saying it should be as good as a motard, but there is a looonnnggg way in between the 2. In other words there is room for improvement...

Get use to keeping your right foot close enough to the rear brake and all will be fine.

I've been wanting better brakes for a long time. Pads and steel lines are an improvement but try riding a motard and then tell me the busa brakes are good.
