Just realised the kanji symbol gets clipped on the left side of the bike and makes the bike assymetric.....if you hadn't noticed, now you'll see and then you can never unsee it.
Kanji symbol clipped!

I see what you mean. It’s really cut off on the Gen3s. Not that many left side pics, even my own.
Makes the bike worthless in my opinion.

I noticed it but it never bothered me until the guys here made a fuss and started obsessing over it. That's when it finally registered in my mind and it changed my life.

Now that you post those pictures, I wanna remind everyone how the matte silver is the only Gen 3 color that due to the lack of the glossy clearcoat reflections, it allows light to showcase its lines perfectly.
To think I was set on getting the black/gold since the bike was announced and it was the shop owner who a year later convinced me to get the matte silver/red.
EDIT: It was these pictures that blew my mind. I still think that is the most iconic and impressive color combo.

Notice on the ‘99 (best of all Busas!!) how the left kanji is NOT clipped but intact as it should be . . .
Why anyone would want a Gen 3 is beyond me . . .

I guess (some) people can’t see my posts.
I've read because it's Japanese cursive writing and much like our own, there is an angle when you write it...
I don't know why Suzuki didn't make the Kanji a little smaller so it would fit...
I guess this is why other bike companies have done away with this type of graphic....
That's why I did this. It is a problem and almost all marketing photos of the bike are from the right side, so Suzuki has been wrestling with the issue also!

A painted screen to fill in the middle would make that absolute perfection.
Apologies to you, but I had to express what was on my mind.
I wanted to make the Kanji more of an implication than literal. But I can appreciate your point
Darnit, never noticed LOL

I dipped my Gen2 8 times, every single time I put a kanji back on it would bug me for a few days thinking about it being clipped on one side. Never understood, but always would forget about it.
Noticed it on my Gen3 the day after I bought it when I was going around the bike tracing the OEM decals. I originally planned to just remove them, but after almost 20yrs of riding a busa, no kanji kinda bugged me so split the difference (kinda).
