was just looking at the 09 colors and it looks like the busa will come with a 200mm rear tire for 09

[BA BUSA]

That's what the spec sheet says

Did you all notice that the new bike is almost a 100lbs more?

[kairles]

its listed as "curb" weight, meaning gased up and ready to go.

something maybe wrong

Fuel Tank Capacity: 16.5 L (4.4/3.6 US/Imp gal)

that can't be right

B-King specs I believe. The've had a typo.

You are correct, sir!

I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice that error. That's pretty embarrassing when you screw up the spec sheet for your flagship bike. OUCH!

Sorry to say, but the Busa is not their flagship...Gixxer's are their main focus

Excellent point. I'll refer the 'Busa the "premiere" bikes, and we call call the Gixxers the "flagship" bikes. Just a matter of semantics

They sell more Gixxer's...we get BNG every year and the Gixxer's get a whole new make over every other year

+1 I'm glad someone else finally noticed

[Mr Bogus]

I am glad the bike stays the same for the most part.. makes mods cheaper for one...

already has plenty of power, what are you going to fix?

guys it is definately a spec sheet for the B King. If you read the chasis features it says:

Chassis Features:
*Twin-spar cast aluminum alloy frame features optimum rigidity balance and superb handling
*Beatiful cast aluminum alloy swingarm for the B-King is constructed of 3 main sections for minimal welding lines and a clean overall look
*Inverted front forks are fully adjustable for compression, rebound damping and spring preload to suit rider preferences
*Aluminum alloy rear shock absorber features three-way adjustability with excellent damping characteristics equivalent to those of Suzuki supersport models
*Radial mount front brake calipers feature an all new design built specifically for the B-King and provide superior braking performance and reliability
*Lightweight single piston rear brake caliper works with a 260mm rear disc
*The front brake master cylinder, its reservoir tank, as well as the clutch master cylinder were designed specifically for the aggressive look of the B-King
*The B-King features an aggressive wheel design with a dynamic three spoke look combined with high performance radial tires boasting a massive 200mm rear tire size
*Unique three piece front fender design for a high quality look and an aggressive look
*The B-King also comes equipped with a standard steering damper for maximum stability
*Available with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) for optimum braking performance

This continues in engine specs, too. So either someone screwed up big time, or they decided the B-King is the better bike
