@Kiwi Rider We expect a full and detailed report of your impressions.

Part of me wants a whole new bike(frame, aero etc) and the other hopes to have the same foundation so I can bolt some of the new stuff from gen 3 to my gen 2. If supercharged, new electronics, active suspension and such I'd imagine the price would be close to an h2, which is out of my price range.
Suggesting the slashing of prices on leftover Gen II's in stock, perhaps?
I might do that

I haven't thought of that but you have a good point. Seems like a win win for all people interested in the hayabusa platform.
It will be interesting how they price the gen 3...if it is to be in a league of it's own, they can set the price point to whatever they want I guess...can't see it being as pricey as an H2 though.
My thoughts as well, if not forced induction it’s gotta be a whole lot less $$$ than the H2 platform.
I can’t wait....
I’ve already been planning how to obtain the finance without losing my house lmao!
Interest rates are ridiculously low at 2.4% here, so an interest only loan would be peanuts for monthly payments . . . Hmmmmmm . . .
$27000 (if it is for example) at 2.5% is $13 a week.
Do-able.
Sorted.

I can't wait. I'm going to get one as soon as it's available. I'm very glad they didn't turbo it. They would screw it up anyway. 1440 and let us professionals turbo that bitch! Or at least us shade tree mechanics thats been doing it for years lol

If it really does end up being a 1440 motor, it will edge out the ZX-14r. My gen2 busa is stronger than my Gen1 ZX-14. It's not a game changer but you really can tell at low speed and doing wheelies the busa is a little more torquey bike even stock gearing on the busa v +4 T rear sprocket on the 14. If a busa motor goes up to 1440, It will probably be a better bike all around. My nearly stock busa still handles better than my 14 which I have removed about 85 lbs from. I'm assuming the Gen3 busa will retain all of the strengths of the Gen 2. With the electronics added to the Gen3 busa, it's going to be a much better bike than the 14R but Kawasaki must have the Gen3 ZX-14 waiting, quite possibly with a supercharger and that would put the busa second in command again. Could Suzuki have an answer to this waiting? All this really makes me afraid to buy either one.
Wouldn’t it be nice if they offered one with this paint?
That's exactly what I told my wife today..
Hard to say if Suzuki will even come out with a gen 4 as it took forever and a day to come up with a gen 3. I'd personally say you are safe getting a gen 3 if you are so inclined that is...
The previous owner of my bike told me he set it up for handling and when running against ZX14Rs he was outhandling them in the corners and just a tad behind them on the straightaways.
This might sell too!

i think it is TFT and the analogue gauges are digital renderings - i'm fine with that
