GEN 3 is ON!!!!! ITS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!!!
- Thread starter Jza
- Start date
If the gen 3 busa shall drop like the bomb it did in 99 it needs a bit more hp than the mighty green = a bigger update than the step from gen 1 to gen 2. Looking at todays 1000cc:s with around 200bhp there should be no problem to keep the low end torque and get 230-240hp in a 1440-1540cc engine. With those hp:s you´ll need some electronics to tame the beast. Weight should probably down just a few kg:s just because they can. It´s not a first choice trackbike like some weightwatchers like to forget. :-)

It better make over 200 at the wheels.
Gen 3 will need to play catch up going by this article...Kawasaki Reveals Supercharged Inline-Four Engine » Motorcycle.com News

Well that just means Suzuki will go back to the drawing board and push back the long awaited release date another 2 years on top of the rumored 2.

They've been using a supercharged inline 4 1498cc motor in their PWCs for years now.

I was afraid that maybe Suzuki flat-lined after the blows they have been receiving from other manufacturers the advent of the BMW S1000rr, the new ZX10r, the Kawasaki H2, the upcoming 2015 R1 and other new generation liter bikes and the new ZX14R topping the list. All this while, no response from Suzuki. The silence drove me crazy. Now we see testing and preparations by Suzuki to come back into MotoGP and we know what all that means for us...more R&D. What better platform for R&D for a bike manufacturer than participating in MotoGP. I bet a lot of the tech they're working on for their race bike will trickle down to production bikes. I foresee high tech traction control plus many other technologies and improvements. A Gsxr1000 that will beat the s1k, a busa that whoops the ZX14R will definitely be in the pipeline...has to be because I don't see how Suzuki could be developing anything less to these bikes. Lets wait and see

yes please
As I posted on another thread, remember that Suzuki had a working supercharged B-king concept bike years ago. Maybe a Kawasaki spy got wind that the Gen III was going to use that engine and rushed the H2 out to cut off Suzuki's thunder.
, wouldn't that be interesting.

Right? Hell I'm finally graduating in December, so maybe I can get one for a graduation gift to me?!

I could see an attraction to a GEN III,
with a few simple mods done at the factory.
1) Widen the bore spacing by about 1/4 inch.
(That MIGHT widen the engine by 3/4 inch at the most,
and only at the cylinder for sure.)
2) Increase the bore by maybe 8mm.
3) Lengthen the stroke by another 5mm.
That would allow a factory displacement
of 1,742cc.
Since we know we can overbore today's Hayabusa by 4mm,
we could have the bike up to about 1,900cc with little expense.
A small additional stroke of 4mm,
allows a displacement of over 2000cc.
If a STOCK 1300 will run 192 MPH (like mine did @ Maxton),
could a "prepared" 2000cc variant post 300HP and 270 MPH
WITHOUT a turbo, and plenty of running room ?
A decent GEN I, so many years ago, might show
165 RWHP on a good dyno, Increasing for a 10%
drivetrain loss, that would be maybe 185 crank HP.
If the volumetric efficiency stayed the same
(not a sure bet, but we've got 15 years
more technology in hand)
that would be 250 HP
in street legal trim.
No Blower, no baloney.
in 2000cc form, same assumptions,
2000cc = 275 HP
Please lord, pick me !

We can only hope:
Suzuki may introduce a turbocharged Hayabusa model sometime in mid-2018 as a 2019 model year bike, according to reports. The Suzuki Hayabusa has remained unchanged in its nearly 20-year production run and for 2018 as well, the bike will remain unchanged. But latest reports indicate that the Suzuki Hayabusa may very well get a turbocharged engine for its 2019 model year edition, to be introduced sometime in the second half of 2018. The Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer could possibly use the turbocharging technology that was showcased with the Recursion Concept that was showcased during the Tokyo Motor Show.
