Hmmm, hmmmmmm….they just have new bodywork though right, over a GP chassis? Or could it actually have a Hayabusa power plant? Nawwww…

Someone else posted the pictures of the bikes in these fairings...

Not my taste personally...the actual bike has no MotoGP heritage, I know they gave one to Guintoli as a gift...

It definitely was you..

2023 colors! | Gen 3 Busa Information

The problem is the Riders. They love Japanese futuristic high technology $22,000 motorcycles, but there's not an Ultraman fan among them? Where's the custom leathers in the silver and red? Where's the custom helmet with those huge oval eyes? You jest...but it is my goal to make this happen lol

Put a MotoGP rider on a Gen 3 and look the heck out....


...of course the chase rider was holding back quite a bit...

I really like their

paint work just the way they are. Prettiest bikes out there.

I think it'll be good exposure for the Hayabusa even if it has no MotoGP heritage.

Any exposure is good obviously.

I wonder if this will be an edition available to the public...

It’ll be a very small number sold I’m thinking…. It’s to big and heavy to be a track bike and there’s no class for them to race in, so what point is there to go buy one?? They are a road bike so if they arrived on showroom floors with that paint scheme and full road equipment, they may very well sell a good number of them.
That’s my tuppence worth anyway.

Plus the fact that Suzuki are no longer in MotoGP for the moment. It would be a one-off, and worth something to some if it's an OEM edition

Yes, collectable value, but that would take years to accumulate value…. You’re right, someone will buy and love that bike lol

I’m a big fan of the paint scheme. I’d have one. I’m a bit meh with the current colours to be honest. A bit too beige.
I like it because it shouts Suzuki of ole. And it adds some ‘lift’ to the bike.

Maybe Suzuki will be a trendsetter and other companies will come up with a MotoGP inspired paint scheme...

I think it would have been far better if Suzuki revisited the Yoshimura X1 platform with the gen 3....
