When is the Hayabusa going to get these GOODIES.....

Traction control, etc...

Pretty sad that the first bike to get 20th century technology is the V strom...


2014 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ABS Review - Motorcycle.com

Unfortunately, of the big four, Suzuki is the most behind with production traction control. Kawasaki at the forefront at the moment with their ZX10r. I actually bought my 2012 because it was all analog with no computer intervention. Now I'm on the opposite spectrum with a heavily electronics dependent bike, a. BMW S1000rr.

They have some new stuff in the works. You guys seen the Recursion? Turbocharged and digital displays that would make a Duc owner jealous.

Suzuki Recursion Concept: Bring on the Turbo!

 

[Busabim]

I think Yamaha had a 600 size turbo in 1982, so they are a little late on the idea!

I am looking for a competitive package including TC, electronic suspension, etc...

Kawasaki is looking at patenting a small coupled supercharger as well. They apparently have overcome the one main issue and made the footprint compact and gear driven

Look out...

Most people switch it off. I can go with or without it, but I'm not exactly a highly skilled rider either.

I hope they don't riddle the Busa with all that crap. More to go wrong, more to have to bypass for real power..


More rider skill, less bike control....

When I want traction control and stuff like that I take my truck. Live a little, we ride these beasts for the thrill, I hope Suzuki doesn't take the joy out of riding.

I ride a Suzuki and have for many Suzuki's because they haven't lost that "raw" feel of a motorcycle. Honda lost that feeling years ago by making them too smooth, etc. Kawi lost it with the new ZX14R to me (sounds and feels like a sewing machine)
The day Suzuki loses that feeling, I'll look somewhere else again, but for now, I'm totally satisfied with my "low tech" Busa.

 

[DaBuzaBoy]

agree.. keep it low tech..

or give us the option to buy a stripped version ..

Everyone of the big 4, has had a turbo bike in the early 80s.

You guys know that every Busa's timing is retarded in the first few gears from Suzuki? Yep, your not getting 100% power at WOT.

I for one am happy with my 2012 LE. No abs. I hear so much about ABS and traction control and how it's made racing "safer". I miss the days of watching racing where braking drift and power slides were the only way to get out front. I think it made racing more exciting and really showcased a riders skill. If you can control the bike enough under those conditions you were a true champion. I agree with Dabuzaboy. Low tech or at least offer a base model without all the hype to appeal to all walks of life.

 

[sinister13]

Keep the busa low tech but come with a turbo from the factory for '15
