There isn't one smooth line left on the bike! Whata hodge-podge. Somebody get a pic from the back! It can't possibly be as ugly as it looks in these photos! Lamb has never been hapier with his '05 than he is today!!!

Wonder how many "old" parts dont fit now....design obsolescence ?

Actually I was thinking that may be a problem for the new reformulated "clean" fuels. The current Yamaha liter bikes (12.5:1) suffer from pre-detonation. 91 is the MINIMUM octane rating.

I'm so pissed I sold my bike in anticipation of this..Noone to blame but myself..Too much hype..hopefully I canfind a 07 in the wonderful blue. If not might try a 14..

+1 I have a feeling that black one is going to be mine in the near future...(not getting rid of my '06 black/grey though!)

They should keep the current busa .. in the line up as the "Classic" and keep selling um. After all we still have ppL that loves the current Busas it be sad to let it go. If i want 200hp.. id pony up for the 1397 and be happy with a beautiful bike that has huge ballz.

I had to know what it would look like with Gold Wheels!

I'm running my 5th summer with my 02 black LE....I was really looking forward to upgrading after 5 years. I like the blue/black scheme, but I've got to see one in person before I jump.

I was pretty impressed by alot of the upgrades....dual fans, new swing arm, new oil coolers, map selector, hydraulic cam tensioner, and more. ....but man I don't know about the back end.

The front corner shot looks pretty awesome though....and I know the things going to haul some serious butt..

I don't know.....we'll see

I voted not bad. My wife has a volkswagen bug. Might look like relatives park next to each other. Hah

 

[UR IT!]

I wonder if the current aftermarket full exhaust will fit.....gotta swtch that ugly exhaust immediately

 

[UR IT!]

I wonder if there is an aftermarket under tail in the works?

 

[UR IT!]

Did it say if it had steel braided brake lines?

 

[UR IT!]

Would you be able to have a power commander on there with the map selector or would the selector have to be disabled?

 

[UR IT!]

Did they have an increase in torque?

Any exhaust mod will have to accomodate the smog controls.

I doubt Suzuki would piss off all the aftermarket guys by eliminating one of the very first mods anyone does to a bike, and believe me, THAT would be the first mod for me. I'm reserving total judgment until I see it in person but I have to say, I fell in love with the original the first time I saw it. Gonna have to warm up to this, though. I like the upgrades (twin fans, slipper clutch, compression increase) and some of the lesser ones, (gear indicator, integrated turn signals, lowered seat) but I was really expecting more with the styling. But then again, to upgrade the hp/performance without going to a 1500 I suppose there's only so much you can do with the aerodynamics. Still, a bit disappointing. Anyone have torque numbers?

That all said... there is no way in hell I'm selling my '99.
Ever.
