I was shocked the nite of the release, but soon began to like it, especially after reading about the improvements. An under tail would be a must for me personally. Everything else is good in my book, and this bike beats the 14; hell the old bike was nose and nose with it.

Well it is what it is . Love it or hate it , it's all your gonna get . I give most of the new Busa owners a couple months max and they'll be looking for ways to get more power out of it . You'll get use to that big old increase of power in no time flat and be throwing mad loot at the after market scene to squeeze more horsepower out of that Big Old 1340.
Personally, I like it. I wasen't looking for a radically different looking Busa. They have made changes that a lot of have paid for on top of the stock price. If that tail section is anything like the back of the GSXR a lot of it can be unbolted and removed in a few minutes. Personally, I like the new rear turn signals. And... I like the overall look. Will I buy one? Not now for sure. My 05 only has 17000 miles on it and I am totally happy with it.

I agree. 9 years! I mean common...(Justyntym @ Jun. 30 2007,09:23) I'm a slammer
I'm pissed at the whole process.
First Zuki is tight lipped like they work for the defense department. WTF...it's a motorcycle.
Then I can't believe it took 'em 9 years for minor improvements to barely eek up over the 14. Which is dumb...By not hammering out a major displacement (increasing the bore) you've begun a tweak war with Kawi...making minor adjustments to (maybe remember it took 9 years to throw us a bone) for minimal gains.
If Suzuki would have thrown down a 1400 -1500 machine with lower compression, it would have gave a great base motor for turbo, big bore kits, and would have forced Kawi to use major retool bucks to keep up.
So, I'm underwhelmed by the engine.
Throw in the tail
I already fell zuki cares more about the 1000 gsxr market and uses the Busa for a cash cow,now they throw a minimal effort our way...
The original Busa and philosophy of Suzuki was to kill the flea with a sledgehammer and blew away the competition leaving no doubt who was large in charge. This was obviously NOT the case this time.
Don't misunderstand, to ride the fastest or what someone else thinks is not important to me, and the original busa rocks, love my '06 and Celine was not going anywhere regardless (maybe a 2nd bike was on the way) but I question Suzuki's business ideas, commitment to the Busa faithfull, and overall design philosophy of the bike (hurl icon insert here).
You just may be used to settling for that $5 your wife gives you for lunch everyday for the last 9 years.
Another thing is what someone else said. People on here eat, sleep and crap Hayabusa. Does that make them experts on the Hayabusa. You bet your a$$ it does!! Just because someone doesn't have the old piece of paper on their wall, doesn't mean jack! I see bikes on here and other superbike mags that build completely sick bikes in all capacities.
I bet you anything a few people from this board could have designed something amazing in keeping with the traditional multi-use Hayabusa. New logos, new fonts,
new rim designs...my god, the possibilities are so endless...
Now we get to argue with groups of people we roll up to that see that "1300" on the thunder theighs, how the internal compression and titanium yadda yidda yadda who cares is faster than the ZX14.
I paid good money for bragging rights and now I'M the one that has to explain how 13 is better than 14.
Thanks Zuke.... good lookin out...
This is the last time I'm saying this one.
If Suzuki needs to retire Hayabusa and come up with something completely new.....pleeeeaaase do.
Done talking about this lame half shot wad...

I think like others I expected a little more for 9 years of waiting. Tail section is not for me but looks are all opinion What i thought we might see was 15-20 HP and 20-25 less pounds with better brakes. While we got an increase in power its a little short it actually gained weight but we did get better brakes. One thing to remember Kawi and Suz are owned by the same people. Why compete against yourself. One thing I dont get is how do they expect to sell these to Hayabusa owners already. There is not that big of an improvment. I just want the motor and electronics please for mine I bet it will fit
I think that Suzuki didn't have us in mind at all. With the subliminal messages emitting from this design, I'm getting the impression they are trying to attract the Harley riders because there is no way in hell any of us are really impressed with the changes they have made. I have seen the supporters comments but seriously....shouldn't there have been more?
