It’s here

[Bumblebee]

Yep, better emmisions.
But hopefully it's getting a redesign, and not dropped.

I've read somewhere that it's dropped and not redesigned.....as MotoGP is going towards the 800s, I heard Suzuki is no longer pursuing that engine platform any more and will concentrate on the 800...

Which will sound awful with any sort of aftermarket exhaust as do all in-line twins.....

I wonder how many platforms will adopt the 800 in-line twin.....I'll bet all of them....kind of like Honda with that in-line 500 twin they have, it's in 4 or 5 platforms now.....

I kind of laughed as my son referred to his girlfriend's new Honda 500 scrambler as peppy.....I said my Hayabusa is peppy......those 500s can barely get out of their own way...

Yeah sad...and soon enough that 500 will be peppy, lol

We are witnessing the demise of motorcycling as we know it....at least as far as big bore or competitive Suzukis are concerned....

Suzuki will no longer be in the cutting edge of motorcycling....

as MotoGP is going towards the 800s

Yeah but I don't think for a nano second they will parallel twins in MotoGP, wasn't the first 4-stroke MotoGP bikes around 800cc? All v-4's, v5's and inline 4's. The last time there was a twin cylinder in the GP class was the v-twin Honda two stroke they ran for a few years along side the v4 2-stroke that one of Mick Doohan's team mates rode.

I started out on a parallel twin. I have no interest in them.

Hard to say what engine configuration they will go with....could be interesting to see what they come up with....

I miss the GP races of years ago, man and bike, no computers or simulators.......

125, 250 and 500 2 strokes in the GP series too......lots of classes, lots of talent.

Yes, I tend to agree on this, it looks like the golden age of motorcycling is coming to an end, probably within 10 to 15 years.
I see the woke agenda creeping in to our world and it has captured the hearts and stolen away the desire of young people to be 'adventurous' and rebellious as we were in our youth.
Some kids are slipping the net thank goodness, but majority have had their critical thinking processes hijacked by the education (brainwashing) system . . .especially the woke universities pushing their cultural marxist ideology and the kids are swallowing it left right and center. Just look at the protests on University campuses.
I thank God I was not born into this latest generation, when I was 15 I had to buy a bike for transport and of course for fun (dirt riding), no way could I buy a car . . here in NZ used cars were expensive and in short supply.
But I made it this far, and owning and riding a Busa is the pinnacle of success!

I'm still reading No 2025 Gsxr1000
I hope that isn't true.

I heard that's the case in Europe.

 

[nilsmf]

It's already the case. At least here in Norway, Suzuki no longer imports GSX-R 600, GSX-R 750 or GSX-R 1000. I guess the european sales of these bikes weren't high enough for Suzuki to find it worthwhile to update these models to the EURO 6 exhaust emission standard.

The "sports" offering is now only 2 bikes, the new GSX-8R and gen 3 Hayabusa.

And most likely these will continue to get choked out so bad they won't be fun to ride....

I read somewhere that some country's governments are banning modifications to any emission systems on vehicles...hopefully our government doesn't get wind of this....I guess it's a good thing our prime minister is so unpopular on a global scale that nobody wants to talk to him...
