First Look: 2009 Hayabusa (White)

I love it, but I think maybe it would look beter with some of "Dr. Pat's" shortened cans. Wish I had the money to buy new plastics now.
 
OK, check one color off my original list that seems to be accurate up to this point! Meaning that the other two available colors will be blk/gray and silver/gray.
Not very exciting, to say the least. If these three colors hold true, I'll be opting for the silver/gray.
I just cannot believe that we wouldn't get at least one "exciting" color combo to choose from like the killer 08 orange/black!! (Ooops, sorry Scar, I luv ya man!) :laugh: Besides, I'll soon be joining your color scheme choice!

Jim: Out of curiosity, is there a perception that I don't like the orange? I'd like to put that to bed...so out with it, brother. :laugh:
 
I think it would look really good without the blue accents and just the Black Kanji. Black wheels would look better as well
 
The 06 LE on display for comparison and outside as well. The rims kinda always look polished. I like it...:bowdown: Open up two pages and take a look back and forth. Which do you prefer?

It does appear that the fender is a little longer than previous years.

I think it's the same as the 08. It just looks bigger because of the white contrasting shraply against the black radiator. The darker colors kind of flow into the black background.

I like the 06 white much better, don't care for that color blue on the tank stripe.

I never realized how bad those stock cans look now that I replaced mine with the Yosh R 77. Man what a difference that makes. I thought they looked fine till I took them off.
 
that color scheme screams for some chrome wheels and a blingy r-55 can. i have to agree with most others opinions that the blue doesn't seem to go well for some reason... the red on the 08 euro LE edition looks much better on the white IMO.

either way have fun keeping it clean
 
It also appears that they made the wheel base 1.7 inches longer. Even a bigger gas tank. Dam, and it weighs almost 100 pounds more.

It's nice but i prefer my red/white combo with the black rims, but will have to wait until I see it in the flesh to see whether it's a good combo of blue/white/silver.

I would love to get some of the crack that the designer and who ever approves the design for the cans is smoken!!!
I think Suzk is getting kickbacks from the aftermarket pipe industry! It sucks to drop 10 grand on a bike and have to immed run out and drop another 1000 on a set of pipes because the ones on the bike look like a set of solid rocket bosters stolen off the space shuttle!!
