No aplogies!I've always liked the TLs...my friend who owns a bike shop had a yellow TLR when they sold Suzuki...it was his personal bike and he spent a lot of time and energy on it...it was one serious bike...but as he was a dealership and everything is for sale, he sold it...
1 week to the day after he sold it, it came back in pieces so it could be written off through insurance...he told me there was not really one part left on that bike that wasn't scratched or broken...
Another friend had an SV1K but it had no soul..
Sorry brother @pashnit ...we've gotten a long way off your post here I think.....
Exactly...must think it is made out of unobtanium or something...$23K for a 2021 when you can get a 2022 for $18,599 with all the services done for 2 years? Why?
For a brand new bike at the dealership maybe....
Probably a small percentage of riders planning on buying a gen3, but won't buy the first year of anything new.
Maybe after it's sat in the showroom year, and others have had time to prove they don't have gremlins.
Reading a gen3 insurance thread yesterday had me feeling not so bad, as guys in their 50's and 60's with clean driving records are paying ridiculous insurance on them also, $1500-$2k+ a year.
Which is bs, and another deterant.
Global motorcycle sales numbers continue to be down for the umpteenth year in a row too.
I don't know it's name, but it's recent.What thread? Something odd because those prices are crazy unless they've got a bad record or credit..lol
Most of the unmolested Gen2's with low mileage on Cycle Trader are listed above $12,000.The premise of this thread is to watch the price of a 2022 Hayabusa come down over time.
Or... what do you predict I will have to pay for a 1-year-old 2022 Hayabusa? I would like to purchase one a year from today, so what are your predictions for going cost for a used one?
I'm not much of an early adopter and have no issues with buying used. I'll have to sell my '08 and my TL1000R + saving my pennies to pay cash. Furthermore, I'm guessing $15000 cash for a used 1-year-old 2022 with low miles.
I have purchased three bikes in a row sight-unseen from out-of-state (MN, IA, WA) and shipped them to myself. It was cheaper to buy outside California, despite the $500 ship cost to get it to CA. The catch is to bring an out-of-state bike into CA, it has to have at least 7500 miles on it to register it here, so I doubt I'll be able to find a 1-yr-old 2022 Hayabusa with 7500 miles on it. I ride 10k per year, so not many people likely ride that much.

that's CDN money don't forget which would be about 17900.00$23K for a 2021 when you can get a 2022 for $18,599 with all the services done for 2 years? Why?
what - i paid £155 fully comprehensive 60 year old full no claims/no ticket with 10,000 miles per year allowance = $204Insurance for me on the new Busa will be $2200.00 - 60 yrs old, live in the middle of no-where, no tickets ever but that is the price to play up here in Ontario at least.
