Am I the first to see this?

[84Ninja]

Did anyone notice the "S"-shaped ecru silver part of the paint. I was looking at the bike and trying to logicize its design. (S for Suzuki of course)

 

[S-R Racing]

Looked at that over 100 times, never seen it

 

[Red05]

I never noticed, it either, but now that you mention it, it seems almost obvious. Nice find!

 

[Harvestor]

good find...........
and just realized my 2003 Busa had same graphics as 99.....just silver & grey

 

[solarbarack]

Never noticed, but now that you say something it's real obvious.

never saw that!  That is cool.  I do wonder if it was truly intentional or just a neat interpretation?

 

[Hayabusa Fury]

DOH! Nice find. How many hours did you lose straining the brain on that one?

 

[Mr Bogus]

still stuck at "ecru"

 

[PaceMaster]

Ha, there it's been there in plain sight allalong. Mines the 01 with the Beak

 

[BowDown]

Pretty neat. Never noticed that. Course mine isn't a 2-tone bike.

 

[semi]

pretty cool...now i'll be looking for new things all the time

Best looking stock scheme out there!

 

[Commuta_Busa]

Just make sure you look at it from the right side

 

[84Ninja]

I know that the Japanese are usually very detail-oriented so I knew there had to be a logical idea for the paint design... I was looking at a photo of the copper model that I've just bought, inspecting the design very closely becoming familiar with the bike (My 1st Hayabusa) and then it appeared in front of me. The big swoopy "S". Maybe its supposed to represent a nice sweeping road as well! I love when designs have multiple levels to them. Its also shows you how we can interpret things in vastly different ways.

 

[SpeedAdict]

nice find.

hows that saying go


"its not what you are looking at that matters,its what you see"

 

[Smoke_Dog]

Never notice it as well! I always saw beaks!

 

[BikerRob]

I see a falcon in the '08 graphics, anyone else? The falcon's head is thrusting forward on the lower fairing (where the character/Hayabusa logo is printed) and the forward edge of the wing bend is along the side of the nose fairing.
