Bye Bye Busa

[dave s]

Mcn newspaper there's an article about the end of the busa , it's not euro 4 spec so they have stop production. Suzuki uk say there are 78 bikes left in stock and the last that will ever be sold in the UK

 

[dave s]

Yes , I saw that post . Luckily , I always planned to keep this L2 , and my next bike project will also be a Hayabusa of either Gen 1 or 2 , in undecided configuration as yet . So I am pretty well set , but hoping Gen 3 for those that desire it . I just hate this lack of communication , almost crapping on your loyal followers of 20 years nearly , because of lack of information . No wonder some people are jumping ship to other manufacturers cycles , instead of waiting for a potential non event .

So a completely new busa is on the way ?

Yep, still possible.
Old Busa can't pass...so keep working on the new one.

Well if the new one doesn’t live up to expectations I’ll mod mine and beat the hell out of the new one.

Over the past ten years, I've come to accept this is the way to go for ultimate performance. It is a lot of work but an old bike heavily modded has been leaps and bounds ahead of whatever the factory put out for the rest of the owner's life. I'm glad I got the big power monsters while they were available, too. I'm curious to see what will be marketed in their place.

If a bike is not Euro 4 compliant, does that mean it will also become unavailable in the US? If not, is the US market big enough to support continued production of these bikes?

Glad Europe can ruin it for the whole world.

 

[busabobh]

Import from India (not).?

 

[dave s]

If the demand was there they would make it euro 4 like other manufacturers (zzr1400 is euro 4)
Sadly they can not be selling enough to make it worthwhile
Unless there is a gen3 with new engine around the corner

They cant turn either....or, yeah they cant turn....
