Top Six things for improvement.

[Otto]

Assuming that Suzuki might be interested, which quite possibly, they are not, which are the 6 most needed things for improvement with the Hayabusa GenII ?
Of course they might also be the same/similar things which the opposition would like to hear about as well!
For example, why is the side-stand so ....?

1) Better colour schemes. - There has not been a single Gen II which isn't either fugly or just boring.

2) HID lights as standard.

3) Better brakes.

4) Supercharger.

5) Shaft-drive.

6) Power socket for GPS/Phone.

7) Duolever.

Yellow colour scheme !

More ground clearance (rearsets as standard).

 

[DevilDawg1]

Easier access to change oil filter!

I'd like to see an 1800cc, cause the zx14 are being bored to 1700

[Phil96]

X-plane crank.

 

[sixpack577]

Shaft-drive?

+1 shaft drive =more weight/less power, and you loose the ability to easily change gear ratios with sprockets. No thanks.

 

[Black Sheep]

Wings.

 

[Kaptain Kanji]

Shaft drives are horsepower sponges, they're nice for touring bikes.
I'd like to see some nice colour schemes and another re-issue or two of the "Copper" scheme.
Central wiring block to hook accessories onto, located under the drivers seat.
Hatch panel for quicker access to fuse block.
Black chrome wheels, or optional powdercoat colours.
Slightly more comfortable riding position that's easier on the wrists.
That's about it here.

 

[turbojonny]

Same here with the copper silver tribute. A/C plug in.I think they nailed the rest. However, they'll need a traction control and anti-lock option to keep up with the RR1000. They would also be making a good move if they went back to the gen 1 cylydnder head due to the gen 2 cracking issues. Plus, undercut the damn tranny already! 30 years of bad 2nd gears in Suzukis is enough!

 

[bazooki]

Come out with TWO Hayabusa models. One that comes with higher bars, lower pegs and touring accessories including windscreen and bags and plug ins, ABS, and touring rubber. The second model would be the TURBO with a standard stage 1 kit and lower bars, better brakes and fork, traction/wheelie control, speed shifter, lighter wheels and less weight overall and sticky rubber. Both models would have to have better HID lighting of course and the paint schemes would be appropriate for each model specifically with the touring being more subdued solid colours (not boring) and the TURBO model having wilder themes/graphics.

 

[HillbillyTom]

Like others have said.. BETTER COLOR SCHEMES.
The 08 models are good, but everything since is (IMO) just fair, and getting blander every year.

 

[m_ridgeway]

1. less weight
2. more bolts and less clips in the fairings
3. more power
4. better looking wheels
5. tpms
6. better looking and performing mirrors

if you want or need abs, shaft drive, tc and all this other crap good luck. the group the busa is marketed for wont pay the premiums for the extras and a shaft drive on a sport bike is an epic fail waiting to happen.
