I ain't one to bash another year Busa, but Suzuki does need to make something happens in 06. Congrats to all the 05 owners on their new rides,,,,,,,,,,,,now Go paint the thing.....

I liked all 3 new Busas when I saw them locally. As my bike, a yamaha R1, has decals, I don't really have a concern with that. It was probably the most cost effective way for Suzuki to bring out a significantly different paint scheme on the Busa this year. I don't know if I'd read too much into whether it indicates the future end to the Busa. Maybe the Busa's end is near, or maybe they didn't want to spend any more cash than necessary when they plan to completely redesign it in the near future. I've not seen any studies, but I imagine most people keep bikes significantly less than 5 years or so and the decals will hold up just fine for at least that long if the bike is well maintained. Good thread though
