So I am thinking that someone at suzuki might have half a mind and try to do something silly like make money off this 06 Busa thing.....
It is painfully obvious that all us Busa fans (freakishly loyal followers) are awaiting the release of the possible new body style changes of the 06 Busa. It seams that at least once a week there is a post about this very subject matter. In wich case we have done a horrible job at pretending that we don't care, and secretly hoping our lack of enthusiasm might spawn an early release date. But if anyone at suzuki payed half attention to this they could stand to make a bundle of money and keep there hard earned braggin rights...... You still with me? Ok check this out.
About every five years traditionaly cars and bikes alike go through some sort of body modifications. This has yet to happen to the BUsa. But why should it, if you got the best why chance losing your fan base and bragging rights. Some other company can come out and take your titles and your customers in one hefty swoop, that is of course if your modifications were undisired our put you under the previous bar/standard you have just set by giving a slightly less than the best product due to the changes. If it were up to me than I would do the same thing as zuk. I would wait until someone actualy took my title of baddest bike on the planet, let them run with it for a bit, then take it back as quickly as I gave it to them.
There has been a Lot of talk about the ZX14 or ZZ14... whatever.. (I don't care for it personaly. The busa is still in my opinion the prettiest bike ever conceived.) They are saying that it will be released in the very near future as in the tail end of 05 or early 06. This is obviously going to take sales from the busa. But who cares it raked in money for seven years now. Complete body changes of popular models have been known to be released in Febuary. So we could see the Busa then. But in my opinion we probably won't. Let the ninja guys have there fun for a year then release the Busa in 07 completely different and take the title back. Then every one that had been saving for a year to buy that shiny new ninja will think twice and get the real machine.
Kinda like Xbox 360 and PS3. Xobox comming out this fall. PS3 comming out in the spring, but a week after the PS they are going to release Halo3 one of the most popular video games ever. Steal there thunder is all I am saying.
So what if you had the title of baddest bike for one year. Our lost it for one. Hold it for seven!! Our hold it for seven on the first run of the platform (pretty inpressive) then take it back on the second of the platform and keep it for another seven.
I guess all I am saying is that it won't surprise me if Suzuki tells us that the body aint getting changed this year. In reality I hope it doesn't, casue I would think it would be darn funny to do it next year and clean the bike world off it's feet all over again. Just a thought........ Sorry guys if I rambeled but it's 3 am and I have been at work for 12 hours. Take it easy. See you on the road.
