07 'busa pic from japanese bike mag.

[Okibusa]

I knew I had saw the same pic that is in the magazine posted somewhere within this group. The pic posted by Arey is the pic that is in the mag. As soon as I can bring that magazine away from the shop, I will have one of my interpreters translate all the Japanese into English. I can read the Hiragana and the Katakana but the Kanji.... . I stopped trying a long time ago.

There is a MotoGP race coming to Japan in September. Supposedly, the Japanese bike makers will be having a show near by. If there is a show, I will dispatch agents to scour every inch of the floor, behind all curtains and every trailer near the place in search of more info and pics.

No new busa until, at least, 2008

Every year around this time, it gets worse and worse. I'm like Bernie Mac.... "I don't believe shiite until it happens!"

 

[Lamb busa]

When at the motogp in Monterey last month, stopped at the Suzuki tent, asked what new bikes coming out? dude working there said they could not tell byt knew what was going to be coming! We asked if buying a Busa should we buy now or wait? Dude said wait until Sept 25 the dealer show, asked about the GSXR1000 and he said the same thing. Take that for what it is worth

Someone at Suzuki PD&E is probably reading all these 2007 hayabusa spy scoops and spraying Coke all over his desk laughing about it!

At this point I could care less, but still excited to see what new stuff shakes out this fall. Should be a good show circuit this year.

That's first Busa in the prototype pic is ugly as hell. It makes a 14 look good.

"i'll buy that for a dolla"

I don't believe that's the 07 or 08. I don't think Suzuki would go backwards and make it look like a gixxer... but we'll have to wait and see. Plus, we'd have seen some kind of official confirmation by now if that really is the new model. And like somebody else said, IF that's really it.... I'll be hanging on to my new 06.

I'll bet $100 that the Busa changes this year. No worries. I have you all covered. I've heard inside info. I have shared it all with you. Some believe. Some don't. I was spot on last year. This year will be the same. So.... PM me... lets do this. See you at the Suzuki Show in Vegas in September - dealer guys. Lets party!

Oh and that photohacked picture is fugly.........

 

[bigoltool]

Nothing solid but there is an interview with Ben spies here and he talks about re-signing with yosh/Suzuki for two more years because they want him to race the ..... Drum roll please.

NEW 2007 GSXR1000!

Good job Oki finding article

When i see it on Suzuki's site i will believe it. They are not going to be able to get anymore Drag Coef outta any design in any of those pics. I think it will just be narrower and a about the same length, updated 32-bit fuel metering, lighter rims, more accurate fork dampening, brakes will be radial, and the ergo will change to fit the initial design(a little more upright), I read years ago directly from the R&D releases on Suzuki's corporate site that the tank could have been be a little bigger but they had cooling issues and if that could be overcome it will mean a bigger more efficient airbox (99 busa). Also do not be surprised if the price tag is a whopping $15,999. Remember that the base for the hayabusa was the RF900 and i dont think it's gonna be that radical of a design change. Some things, like the cult status the busa has been given, shows the corporation that they WILL not deviate from its trademark design. You dont see Mustangs changing too much at once, The Camaro either. Look at truck sales right now and you will see what i'm sayin is true. If they made a 68-70 looking Chevy truck they would sell out. If they made a 1955 F-100 truck, or a 1955-57 Chevy people WILL buy it. People like, no, they love familiar. A Hayabusa is just that. The 12R underwent two makeovers and is GOOOONE. the blackbird is Gooone. the Hayabusa is still here. As long as there isnt too much of this racetech (throttle by wire, re-uptake stuff) put into the busa it will still be back on top. You know there will be a ZX-14"R" coming, look at Kawis record. ZX-10, ZX-11, ZX-12"R". Suzuki had such a lead when the busa came out, as far as customer satisfaction that Kawi knew they had to rethink. The 12R was always close sometimes dead even with the busa, but there was such a loss in reliabilty, comfort driveability, I had both and remember how it felt to get everything outta the 12R, but the throttle response was violent and unrelenting NOT smooth as the busa. This is also proven by looking in the CycleTrader or anyother for sale publication. People bought it and sold it. Most of the busas are still with their initial owners.

I know Im ranting now, see I lurk and then i strike hehe he  

All it was , was a picture sheesh

I don't care how much CC the Bike has, as long as the tranny doesn't explode and the bike is lighter and a shorter wheel base would be Woot-tastick. Twistys on a 1300R would be HOT!!!
