Special Edition plaque.

[No.2of20]

Hi again guys.
Hope everyone is well.

I am a new and very proud owner of a
2019 Gen 2 as some of you know.
I finally got hold of the special edition glass plaque that came with the bike when the previous owner bought it.
Just wondering has anyone else got one of these.
(Note I have spotted out the engine no.
Which is on it)
Cheers.

Mystery solved.

What a beauty that plaque is and statement for your very desirable Special Edition Busa , very nice score bro .

It is called a VIN number here.....on frame and engine...

And I'm surprised a picture has not already been taken....

Hey BB.
Of course.
It is the VIN no.
Not the engine number.
I actually know that but I had a senior moment while posting.

Oh and ask and ye shall receive.

Another nice touch is the rim decals.

So guys,
Do you think it is No. 2 of 20 in the world or maybe just Australia?
Or what?
Hmmm.

I'm thinking Australia as there are lots of 2019 bikes in that same color across the rest of the world.

In '84 Suzuki brought out a numbered Katana (up to number 200) yet around the world the exact same bike was everywhere.

I hear ya.

The took a Katana GSX750SE and stuck a Canadian flag on it with a number (1-200, but no #13).

I had number 11 and later a silver/grey '86

Love 'em.
Great stuff.

Another instance where Suzuki screwed up...the gen 3 SHOULD have come out in 2019 as a special edition...

 

[No.2of20]

In no way a special edition but I have
an 1982 gsx 750 as well that I am butchering into a cafe racer.
Plus a very incomplete 1980 gsx 1100.
The guy I bought the Busa from has an 8 second Katana 1100.
Who doesn't love a old and/or new GSX?

Good point.
It should have been bigger engine wise
or turbo to really make a statement.

Suzuki took the safe route, they could have easily punched the engine to a 1441 and made it into a shredder....but they decided to leave it up to the end user....

Same as the latest version of the Katana, take an old GSXR platform and stick some plastic on it and use it for several different platforms...smart in many ways but far behind Kawasaki who already did this with the H2.

Agreed.
