I think this is real. I found more pics and specs of it on motorcycledaily.com today. Ugly as sin! But I am thinking it is the perfect inspiration for Suzuki to get off their asses and give us a new stick! Sitting still for 7 years is a good way to fail in this or any business.
The whole reason our busa is so upgradable and desirable is the fact it is unchanged for 7 years. While the busa also has scary aftermarket potential...it does pretty good out of the box. Aftermarket does not tend to favor bikes with limited lifespans.
May GOD have mercy on Kawasaki for creating such a sinfully UGLY P.O.S!! Yeah it's got 1352cc but THAT DOESN'T QUALIFY AS A 1400 CLASS!!! Why won't people realize YOU'RE STILL 42cc SHORT OF A 1400!! That's almost damn near half of necesarry cc's to push it to a 1400. This is the stupidity that OTHER motorcycle companys put out in the press and hope the public doesn't care/notice. Well ... I DID!! Kawasaki, you're motor is only 52cc bigger than the Busa; going over my math the Busa (with me on it) STILL has better weight to power ratio. I'm still stickin with my Busa.
bike weight+my weight= total weight/bike HP= lbs per HP
Kawa:
550+160=710/200= 3.55lbs per HP
Busa:
480+160=640/185= 3.46lbs per HP
BUSA WINS AGAIN!!!
[Ed. Looking through other superbikes I noticed that the GSX-R1000 tends to hold at #1 in weight to power:
365+160(me) = 525/176(rough estimate HP) = 2.983 lbs/HP]
