Doubt we'll see any real changes besides different paint for the foreseeable future.Looks like there's nothing much than a new color
Suzuki unveils Hayabusa in matte green
The iconic Suzuki Hayabusa superbike receives a new color for 2025, promising to turn heads on European roads. The Japanese manufacturer recently revealed a Hayabusa version in metallic matte green with glossy black details, which will join next year’s lineup. This new color option comes after...motorcyclesports.net

Honestly we are lucky Suzuki has even continued to produce the Hayabusa.

Certainly nothing major, why would they to a new model that has no competition. There isn’t another modern big bore Japanese Hyper bike.
In the next 12 months you will see minor changes to the late 25 built 26 model.
It’ll need post cat sensors, a different ECU and possibly a warning light to the dash.
Failing to do this will get it banned from sale in the UK, EU and anywhere else that follows Euro-5+.
Minor stuff not unlike how the Gen-1 and Gen-2 got upgrades during their runs, and I’d be surprised if Suzuki don’t after their Gen-3’s investment.
As emissions tighten and bikes like the ZX14R, GSXR600, 750, 1000 and R1 are all dropped from sale in some markets and getting zero development I’d be very suprised if the Gen-3 with minor updates isn’t the last Busa we see.

I’ve long said there’s a market for a Busa-GT. Factory luggage, higher bars, screen, centre stand, heated grips, seat etc. Not everyone want to start modding and trying to change their new bike. The development costs would be low carrying a lot over from the current model. Suzuki already do it with a range of K5 bikes, Kawasaki had the spin off H2 SX, even the B-King was Gen-2 based, it’s quite common.
A touring Busa or a naked Busa out of the crate would be interesting and not break the bank to do. I’m surprise they don’t use 25 years of Busa in more bikes.

Are you kidding me?????? The Hayabusa regularly out sells the 600's and 1000's cc bikes in it's class.
They have made over 200,000 of these in 25 years.
If Europe continues to strangle these bikes, they will simply not sell them to Europe.
So while the small market in Europe will loose them, the US, Canada and other nations will continue to see them for generations to come.
In my opinion, if this is what the European people want, then let them continue down the path of tyranny and loose all the fun in their lives.
Keep chasing climate change, rather than learning to live with it......................It's making politicians, WEF, and world governments richer than ever before, while citizens struggle.

We Hayabusa fans are fortunate to still have the Hayabusa to enjoy....
However, it hasn't out sold the GSXR lineup by any stretch of the imagination where over 1 million GSXR1000s have been sold alone......and now that line is all but dead......
....and the Hayabusa is a very tough sell...insurance rates have it strangled and if one goes into any buy and sell featuring a Hayabusa, it is on there a long, long time.
The strangling of European bikes filters to North America, that's why the Hayabusa had to meet Euro 5 compliance and if it fails to meet the next level of compliance.....it will disappear.......and it will be a sad day.....

IDK Suzuki just announced a return to MotoGP and WSB so we may still get fun bikes in the future. I'm not sure the Busa will be included in that but I hope so. Something like VVT would help a lot towards passing emissions. Suzuki makes cars with VVT so it wouldn't take much R&D to apply it to the Busa.
Interesting, maybe the engine displacement reduction will work in their favor...
I've just read all the new rules going into MotoGP...there are a lot of them....
"
MotoGP has a number of changes planned for 2027, including:
- Engine size: The engine size will be reduced from 1000cc to 850cc. This will make the sport safer by decreasing top speeds and more efficient by increasing mileage.
- Engine development freeze: In 2026, engine development will be frozen for the final year of the current regulations. This is an attempt to control costs.
- Fuel tank capacity: The fuel tank capacity will be reduced to 20 liters for grands prix and 11 liters for the sprint.
- Minimum bike weight: The minimum bike weight will be reduced from 157kg to 153kg.
- Ride height devices: No ride height devices will be permitted, including holeshot devices.
- Number of engines: The maximum number of engines allowed for each rider in a season will be reduced from seven to six.
- Sustainable fuels: All MotoGP machines will race with 100 percent sustainable fuels.
- GPS data: GPS data from all riders will be available to all teams after each session.
- Concession system: All manufacturers will begin 2027 at Rank B in the current concession system. "
You realize there's a market for a Busa-GT, I realize the same and I'm sure there's 1000's of Busa riders who also agree but the problem is Suzuki doesn't believe it despite the fact they know a large percentage of Busa riders use their bikes as sport touring machines.

The GSX1000R has been around a lot longer than the Hayabusa too..............
2022 Annual Sales Report - Superbikes & imported motorcycles | Team-BHP
This is strictly a Canadian thing, especially in Ontario.........................In the US a Busa is relatively cheap on insurance. In fact, my friend and his wife had 2 Hayabusas insured in the US for under $500 for the pair with full insurance, compared to $2400 EACH in Ontario.
Soon enough the rest of the world will realize just how small the EU is, and how backwards their emissions and Carbon Tax push is.
If not, they will just stop selling in the EU and loose a few thousands unit to save 10's of thousands across the world.
I would love some factory side bags for the Busa that are removeable.

Actually the GSXR1000 hasn't been around as long as the Hayabusa (since 2001 replacing he 1100)......
Suzuki GSX-R1000 - Wikipedia
We should ask our target audience as to what they pay for insurance where they live.......as a point of interest....

Suzuki is pulling the GSXR1000 out of the EU and Japan citing tightening emissions, but will continue to be sold around the world.
I feel the Hayabusa will have the same result in the end, Suzuki will just simply NOT sell to those countries as both the 1000, and 1300 are great sellers every where else. I bet the GSXR750 does the same within the decade as emissions seems to favour the useless, weak and dimwitted 850 twin cylinder bikes instead.
While these new 850's have a great chassis, they engines are dimwitted, gutless, and sound like crap...............A GSXR is supposed to be a 4cyl screamer engine.

That depends on who you go with. My FZ10 was $56 a month full coverage. They wanted $4,000 a year for the busa or about $350 a month. My bike payment is only $250! I went with a local State Farm agency and got it down to $113 a month. Still double what it should be. I'm 46yo clean record in Alabama and had both my car and bike with Allstate for six years at that point.
The days of big bore bikes are numbered, specifically the Hayabusa as it is the last "hyperbike" currently made....the ZX14R is all but discontinued.....I can see all manufacturers going away from the 1000cc bikes as well before too long.
I can see the 850 engines going to a factory boosted configuration at some point...I can also see all manufacturers going this route eventually...a supercharged/turbo'd 850 would put out some power as well.......
I think Trump being into power will slow any US emission laws to a stand still which will save aftermarket tuners and modifiers....
If the election had gone the other way, I could see an emissions law getting passed where no emission compliant equipment could be removed.
We already see this in other countries....

We have that here in some states, look at CA and NJ for example.

And it's time Manufactures simply say NO to any dealer or person who tries to purchase these models from those states......................
Cameron
Do these states have annual inspections?

Jersey does so does PA NY CT and a bunch of others. I won't live in a state with restrictive vehicle or gun laws.

A nice sentiment, but it doesn’t work like that.
Manufactures don’t invest in bikes that can’t be sold globally. Compare the Gen-3 Busa to the dated ZX14, bikes like the GSXR600 and 750 aren’t sold in some countries that aren’t Euro-5 due to no ABS.
All the bikes that can’t be sold globally get zero investment, they get new paint and sticker whilst the completion moves forward until they become outdated.
Yes, at the moment the US gets bikes others can’t, on the whole they are all old models, outdated, that it’s still worth making until folk realise the completion is better.
