the 50% for UK relates to a share of a shipment of 135 bikes so hardly big numbers and the next shipment could be July / August and of that 50% how many will actually complete the purchase...All it needed to pre-order a UK bike was £500. My local Dealers say they aren't due to get a demo bike just yet.
At least you guys get a demo bike, I've yet to hear Suzuki do that in the USA.
Could have been 100

Yes but its $500 non refundable so I doubt they want to just throw that much down the crapper...

I’m surprised that Suzuki Inc. took the Harley boutique way of selling bikes. What’s next, mandanas with Kanjis?
Was just out in the driveway and one of my neighbors was walking by and stopped in for a chat. he said "what do you think of the new Hayabusa?" I said it will have potential and that it is everything a Hayabusa should be.
He said everything but power...and that a Hayabusa has always had a certain "street cred" and this one falls flat on having that. I mentioned about how I think it will be once the tuners work their magic and he said a bike like this shouldn't be relying on tuners and it should have come from Suzuki ready to throw down on the competition.
But I defended this in saying Suzuki priced the bike in the right way so if an owner goes directly to a tuner and aftermarket, there is a little "fudge factor" to get the bike where it needs to be and still be competitive priced.
He scoffed and said at least he won't have to worry about a new Hayabusa being able to get by his Beemer and with all the electronics, it won't have the edge on reliability and maintenance anymore either.
I did remind him his Beemer cost a lot more than a new Hayabusa so there's that to it...
Sometimes you just gotta shake your head at people.

what BMW does he have? hope its a s1000rr. the busa will still be plenty fast....
He was more right than wrong.
He's got an M1000RR he just bought new this fall...he traded a heavily modified 2018 S1000RR on it.
Sad but true....

damn, that things from another planet. doubt any busa could stay with it (on the track anyway) .
He paid some crazy price for it too....I don't know what he does for a living but he and his wife both drive diesel Mercedes SUVs...

eh, must be nice
.....I guess if your a multi millionaire with a huge garage then who cares, get the best of the best so you can say you have it. being a lowly peon I would never spend that much money on a bike that I could only ride for an hour before my ass/back went numb. I go all day on my busa, and no complaints in the power department. I already go WAY faster then I should
