Make it just like the artist conception that's going around with a 1500cc or so with vari valve timing and a full electronics with full color console suite.
What Would Make The Hayabusa Exciting Again?

I’ve been in the Busa game too long to start believing in redesign hype. Frankly the Busa, while we all love them, has its days numbered. This isn’t 2006 during the sportbike craze. It’s an out dated dinosaur in need of a total makeover but I don’t think the market is there to justify one financially.
Man , I have gone full circle on this ... I'm now thinking like Six and Arch and what many others have also expressed . A whole new take on the Hayabusa ... but I hope it still uses big cc motor , or the same 1340cc base motor , but this seems more and more unlikely .
Maybe SuzyInc will revert to their old concept bike.
Hey CBXRider , is that Kerker pipe a 6 into 1 ? , it sure looks like it . Would like to hear that on song if it is !View attachment 1577930 I like sixes
It was sold as a Kerker exhaust but it's actually a DG header and 6 into 1 collector with a Kerker race can on it. I prefer the look of cans on each side but it does sound amazing. Attracts police too. I need to rejet the carbs to run these pipes properly though as they're a tad lean for such open pipes.

while all this is true... when the hayabusa came out... 160 hp was thought to be almost unusable.. anyone remember this??? IN THE END... the motorcycle only does WHAT U TELL IT TO DO.....
Either way that is a sharp looking bike.

Right colors wrong bike
Got to say that is an eye catching color scheme , IMO , really is a very desirable bike . From the 2012 to current ZX14 , except for the huge stock exhaust cans , and perhaps the mirrors , it has a very menacing and unmistakable shape . Kawasaki have really pulled it off with this 1440cc motor , able to be fully compliant to the worlds emission demands , and still delivers top of the class horse power . I must admit , it does give me hope , that Suzuki 'might' just be able to do the same with the current 1340cc for Gen 3 .
Hope the boys & girls on the gen3 design team at Suzuki have seen this:
There is certainly a lot of talk on smaller capacity Gen 3 , and some are wishing Suzuki does this mated up to Turbo . That KTM is wild for sure , I've seen one up close , current '17 model , and it is small and thin / compact . Great if you can fit on it , afraid that rules me out . Desirable bike though .
Suzuki needs to keep making the Busa for sure. A new generation would be nice, though there are things on the gen 2 I'd keep the same. The bike currently may be a dinosaur in comparison to a lot of the other rides on the market, but if you're like me and racing in Pro Street, this thing is an absolute animal of a platform to start with.
Yes , I can understand the Drag Racing community generally feeling this way . The Hayabusa motor is awesome , the modern replacement for GS1150 roller bearing crank , drag racing bullet proof motor . If the news of the fact that the 1340cc motor cannot meet the latest adjustments to EU emissions parameters had not been brought to my attention , I certainly would of expected only an cc increase to possibly 1440cc , with corresponding gains in power etc. and some electronics added for market desire was needed . The European market would have to cause Suzuki to react , just waiting to see how this plays out . Just the fact that Kawasaki have made their 1440cc zx14 able to pass the EU hurdles , makes me hold out hope for the 1340cc motor , and that Suzuki will make the necessary updates to keep it in future production .
