Gen 3 Latest report ..

Gen 1 has the cleanest lines... Suzuki got it right on the first try... However... to continue a successful marketing campaign a company must tweak the platform to attract new buyers. Gen 1 needs a good header and a tune and it wakes up a bit just like the Gen 2 does and undoubtedly the Gen 3 will as well.

Every time I look at Dave Shultz's pro Stock Busa on display at the NHRA museum I am amazed at how good it still looks. It stands to reason any motorcycle that could run 7.20s looks good in my opinion!

Will look into my old phone and see if I can import Daves Busa to my e mail and then post the pictures up here.
 
Kinda crazy to think 10 years ago my GEN 2 ZX14R dynoed 193.HP, Stock. I would be happy if my GEN 3 Busa gets close to that with all the power adders.. Still waiting for the Gen 3 BTW.
 
So I was in the local Suzuki shop the other day and they had a Silver Gen 3 on the floor that was pre-sold. The one thing that stood out to me in my brief look around was the proximity of the bars and levers to the inner fairing at full lock. Otherwise nice looking, but hard to imagine much leeway for bar risers with this thing. With my (admittedly tall) tubular bars I have had to trim the windscreen to clear the master cylinders, but on the new bike it looks like the fairing inner actually comes over the top of the bar. Maybe one of the guys who bought a Gen 3 can add to this?
 
They are being made...and that's the tall one they also make it in 20mm as well.

Well, sold my 2012 busa finally. While he was looking over the busa, he was looking at my 2017 BMW 1000rr, tri-color. Made me an offer for it and I took it. Hauled both off today. Now, I don't have a sportbike to ride. I will use money from both bikes to buy preordered 2022 and pay cash. Yee ha www, I'm ready boys.
 
They wouldn't make to different sizes if at full lock you had problems with basic bars... maybe with yours but most people will keep stock bars they have had the bike for awhile now that listing has been out for over a month so even if they did I'm sure it's fixed by now or will be soon you should be fine maybe go with the 20mm one ... I'm going to get one I will keep you posted... but like you said might have to change the windscreen lol

Yep, looks normal. Now you add a descent 4 in 1 full exhaust, good for 20hp. Then since you shed 30lbs, you can add a little more capability, maybe 5hp with the weight loss, maybe less. Add a pc5 with brock's map and also along with the secondary fueling module. Easy 200hp at the rear wheel. Now, break the damn thing in fast with a Motoman break-in, maybe another 5-10hp, yes that much I have seen 15 car lengths between a mild by book break-in and a Motoman break-in. There has to be a mechanical formula for that win distance to horsepower. The bike that pulls 15 car lengths more will absolutely dyno higher than the bike it beats, has to man. How much more hp would a bike need to beat the same model, set up bike 15 car lengths? Back in the '70s, we raced our 450cc honda's against the 350cc and would win by 10-15 car lengths. The hp between the two bikes has to be 15 plus hp. I could almost guarantee you 200hp on the 2022 busa with all the goodies on it. A real good ECU tune will get you more. I guarantee Brock could get another 5-10hp from ECU tune. I watched him really tune a gixxer and I was amazed how many places that Suzuki in their factory tune, lost hp due to weak fueling all along the entire map!!

Man I get all that but it's weird to me to spend $20K on a bike and then another $3-$5k to get it back to what you already have in a modded Gen 2. It basically reduces a Gen 3 to aesthetics and electronics. Suzuki let us down with the Gen 3 because it's very hard to rationalize.

That being said, I still think it is a good bike.

Those numbers add up to 45 more ponies. Hawdabeleeve an exhaust change alone would actually add 20. If all these mods can be done on a new Busa, why not start with a much less expensive (base) model brand with similar results?
