I don't believe for 1s that it needs to be.. Watched a video of it and it all seemed to be just to swap out 2 bushings which other models had as well... No doubt plenty will mod the seat cowl as per previous gen models.

A buddy and I trailered our bikes out to Daytona for Biketoberfest a few years ago. First time my bike was ridden below 5000 ft. First ride was certainly an eye opener both power and throttle response wise. I think the calculation is 3% per 1000 ft. That extra 27 hp was a huge difference. I then knew just what a Busa was all about! Still plenty fast at altitude but holy crap, what a difference

Impression from a gen 2 owner he said night and day difference from handling braking and comfort rode like a gsxr1000 which is big for my since I enjoyed my 99 more then 08 even his wife talking from riding 2up...she gave it a 11 out of 10 good stuff! Go to the 8 minute mark so you don't get bored he says no comparison!

You’d find Japan and Europe are the larger market and it also goes on seasons within the country.
If it's like previous bikes, that's only if you want the grab bar. The plain seat swaps without any parts change or issue...
Sorry, I wasn't following, how much of the rear end has to be taken off to replace the cowl ?. That's a screwup on a grand scale.....
Let's not talk about this. You gonna make me cry lol
Not yet in INDIA..... though suzuki has a manufacturing plant in India but still dealers are clueless about the availability, worse ,even the pricing of new hayabusa are not announced yet leave aside availability

It’s because overseas is a larger market therefore they always get first shipments then it trickles down the smaller markets.

Yep I bought my busa close to sea level and rode it home which is a little over 5000ft up. It was brand new, but it was a few hours ride home, so I had a chance to get on it some during the ride.....it was sad to feel the power going away as I climbed up in elevation. That's the main reason I started modding it, it felt a little slow stock at the elevations I ride at.
When you get 5000ft and above, elevation becomes a real fun sucker
.... but when you go back down the party really starts 
Suzuki is crazy like a fox....
Bring out a bike, release a lot of hype about it, make people put a deposit on it sight unseen or with any real world testing on it, then very slowly ship it out to the markets creating a bunch of salivating future owners.
Hopefully this bike is all the future owners wish and think it will be....the videos out there are all over the board, the latest one posted had it up in the heavens whereas others have it just a bit better than what it replaced....
Other bikes released like this were in crates at dealerships awaiting permission to build and sell as soon as it was launched by Suzuki...
