Re: 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa
Methinks that be a chop. Any pictures of it at this point would probably be camera phone spy shots, not leaked ad/brochure stock like that. Probably not far off though.

Re: 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa
I hope they take the opportunity to do something else with that seat cowl.. It hurts my brain.

Re: 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa
They could put nostrils on it, and perhaps a moustache at the back of the seat and some black rimmed glasses at the rear. It wouldn't make it any faster but it'd sure be comical.

Re: 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa
Yeah - I'm 99.9% sure it's a photochop, but I still like it.

Re: 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa
Looks like the busa of old but as if Suzuki couldn't make a uglier pipe than the 1 on the 1k they make it longer and fit it on this beast..

Re: 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa
Not bad, unfortunately, I don't think that I would be able to convince the G/F that this is a "comfy sports tourer"
Not bad though, I didn't mind the tail when it matched the rest of the bike but if you are going to redo the whole thing and not change that very much IMO you may want to reconsider?

Re: 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa
Actually, the current gen 'Busa is very comfortable. It rides like a Cadillac.

Re: 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa
OK...how about hideous? Offensive? Awful?
I like the Bus, but they are terribly ugly.

On the contrary rev.... the vehicle picture below is a machine with ergos and engineering specifically for speed. You must be sniffing too much NOS when you clear those lines.... The Busa is just an ugly bike. Dont feel bad though... the ZX14 is just as bad. -jh

Re: 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa
I'll take an ugly busa ahead of a hideous ZX14...
I just cannot warm up to anything that kawi is making right now... even the 10R I'll find something, I like the gold wing Idea as I could put a track bike on a trailer behind it... Time will tell I guess...

Re: 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa
There was a guy a few years ago who brought a Goldwing to a NESBA event at Putnam. He wasn't the slowest one out there, either.

Re: 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa
To ride a Bus or ride a Kaw. Both sound very unattractive to me! I have never gotten into the buzz with the Busa or ZX-14. I've had the opportunity to ride both, but neither corners, which is what I want. Plus I would get in WAY too much trouble with either of those. Squids in town would be getting eaten up all day long from light to light. I'll stick with my "old fart" VFR! That's what my son now calls it. He's too funny!

Re: 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa
I'd take a flickable 600 over a huge busa or zx-14 anyday. they may not be the fastest bikes out there, but they're plenty fast enough to get me in trouble in a hurry. plus are just a fun ride
