From this day, henceforth, the tail of the 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa shall be classified as the "Vestigial" tail. Please take note of this:

Vestigial:
* Small or degenerate.
www.uvm.edu/~jdecher/GoT.html

* Pertaining to structures or organs that were well developed in an organism's ancestors but have become rudimentary during the course of evolution. (14)
ppathw3.cals.cornell.edu/glossary/Defs_V.htm

* describes a part of an animal (such as an organ or bone) that is no longer used by the species and has therefore become smaller or less developed.
museum.nhm.uga.edu/gawildlife/glossary/gawwglossary.html

* [ves-TIJ-all] a body part that is small, poorly developed, and/or non-functional.
members.aol.com/YESedu/glossary.html

* Describing a characteristic which has receded from a useful structure in an ancestral form, and has little or no current use.
www.ultimateungulate.com/glossary.html

* Nonfunctioning, a remnant of a body part that existed in a former species of an animal. Whales have tiny, vestigial hind legs buried deep in their bodies.
www.reefed.edu.au/glossary/v.html

* A structure that no longer serves a useful purpose
www.uoguelph.ca/~mammals/Mammalogy_2005_glossary.htm

* much reduced; showing only a trace.
gmbis.marinebiodiversity.ca/BayOfFundy/glossU-Z.html

* Smaller and of more simple structure than in an evolutionary ancestor (Halliday 1987).
imnh.isu.edu/digitalatlas/glossary/letter.asp

* Poorly developed; degenerate; non-functional.
www.pestmanagement.co.uk/lib/glossary/glossary_v.shtml

* Occurring in a rudimentary condition, as a result of evolutionary reduction from a more elaborated, functional character state in an ancestor.
evolution.unibe.ch/teaching/GlossarE.htm

* A degenerate part or organ more highly developed in previous generations.
www.geocities.com/Heartland/Bluffs/8071/reptile/terms.html

* not fully developed in mature animals; "rudimentary wings"
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

* A vestigial organ is an organ whose original function has been lost during evolution. In 1893, Robert Wiedersheim published a list of 86 human organs that had no known function. Theorizing that they were vestiges of evolution, he called them "vestigial".

I wonder if it would be possible to replace the new tail with an older one?

Veggietail? I'm lost on that one..

I remember doing lab experiments in Genetics with fruit flies and the Busa tail reminds me of the fruit flies that had either dumpy wings or some other vestigial structure.

Old Roller I was thinking the same thing it looks like a similar frame etc I wonder if it can be done. I could live with the looks if you could do that.
