Not AFAIC! I just bought a new '04 so I'd be happy not to see a totally new bike penned anytime soon!
I'm doubtful
or suspect may be more the word. First of all the article was suppose to be in the july 28 edition of the mag. Surely if they had of been on top of things someone would have brought a legitamate picture and story forth in the last 30 days. Second, if Suzuk changes the body style and doesn't add more power they will lose their credibility --- a lot of the busa's sales appeal is based on the fact "you never mistake" a busa for something else. Change the style and don't give buyers a real "power"ful reason to invest in it and you sink your own ship. My guess is we aren't going to see a "really" new busa till suzuk figures out a way to squeeze more horses out of the busa while still maintaining the 184 mph regulations. I figure they'll bump up engine power, place a 184mph restrictor of some kind on it, and then contract out some easy aftermarket fix that will allow it to go 200mph. Therefore keeping the "recommended 184mph deal" while producing a bike that is faster than previous models. Which of course we create a loophole for honda, and kaw to use --which means THE SPEED WARS will commence again for a new generation of riders
