GenI vs. GenII in the looks department

[twotonevert]

True that mate! Every single time I fill up my '08 I think to myself "Chit...if I had a Gen1 I'da saved myself 35 cents."

LOL, I have never put more than 15 dollars in my Gen II.

Mechanically I can't argue the genII, but sorry, the looks department, I'm just won over with the genI. Especially in the rear. would give thought to a 1.5 GenII front and genI rear.

I agree, I like the gen2 front half, nice aggressive look....but that gen 2 tail doesn't blend with the rear wheel position or size at all, its just all wrong for the bike. A gen2 with a different styled tail would suit me fine though

Gen 1 for sure here .

love em' both!

I've had both. Overall I like the II better but I miss the handle in the left side of the gen 1 tail.

Just depends on the day and which one I'm riding at the time. Because there both beautiful in their own way.

Yeah and really, there's not a true Gen1 section and the GenII is still out numbered in volume of total bikes sold and out there .

Octane - is there all that many stock compression GenI's out there ?

I could not cast my vote. I had an `03 mostly back(blue)..even the wheels my `11 model is mostly black(blue)..but did Suzuki save some money and go w/plain black wheels? I have to look closer at them wheels.
Is that true there are more GenII sold in what? 3yrs of production compared to (?) 8 or 9 yrs of GenI ???
Another question is did they make the seat on the GenII for a larger butt???
The seat don`t seem as comfy on this new one.
After I have had this one awhile, and maybe it `grows on me` i will come back and vote....for now though, leaning more towards Gen!.
Anyway you look at it it`s still a `Busa...yep! large powerful machine..looks to be going triple didgets sitt`n on the side stand!

I really wish they'd kept the ability to add a centre stand too. I mean, they did it on the Gen1, so why not on the newer bike?

I think the Gen2 tail looks much better when the bike is strecthed; the tail section flows with the rear tire when the rear tire sits a little past the taillight. The stock look to me just doesn't blend with the rear wheel. It kind of looks like a Volkswagen fender over a wheel. IMO

[Bigdawg76]
