That IS a long wait
True that....turning it into a pure sport tourer like a Concours would definitely sound the death toll on the name Hayabusa.

How about putting the motor in an adventure bike lol
Just imagine THAT....all these adventure touring bikes wrapped around trees in the woods...
Somewhere there is a video of a GSXR engine in a dirt bike-way too much engine for that application.
"It's rein as a street dominator is long dead ???".......
Hardly, the fastest bikes out there are "still" Hayabusas. The factory-fast have high price tags for published-bragging rights at bike nights. Some of the consistently fast Hayabusa's are turbo. A little swing arm stretch, a little gear ratio change, bolt on some forced induction, a custom map, and you've got a super car killer. Does it come from the factory like that?. Too much liability.
"We" put the fast into the Hayabusa these days. It's all about how fast do "you" want to go.....Suzuki is playing the global corporate game, minimize liability, cooperate with as many EPA regulations as possible, euro-5 and all that. For the hayabusa.org crowd we could care less about any of that.
Every time some of my friends crack another tenth of their quarter at unbelievable elapsed times and speeds, it's done on a Hayabusa. More than any other. There are many that prowl the streets on the same exact machines drag racing. Nasty fast.
Once in a while you've got a guy in the crowd that's not on a Hayabusa that's cracking quick times, but it's not very common.

As an out of the box bike the Hayabusa barely cracks the top ten fastest bikes available. And anything which can be done to a Hayabusa to make it go faster can also be done to bikes which compete against it.
Watch a few You Tube videos of the gang who go into Mexico to wring out their bikes and generally if there is a Hayabusa there it is not leading them.
Even cruisers can be made into 1/4 mile dominating weapons...
I know, I'm sad too as I am a die-hard Suzuki guy
I went Wale watching once...err I mean Whale....

Very true.
SAD but true.....
ONLY in this thinking did I hope the gen 3 would have been ferocious out of the box if for nothing else to silence the riders of other bikes...it's a trifle behooving to think of them looking down their noses at what once was the king of bikes...
Rest assured, I will do my duty@prg ...What he said
