This is just history repeating! Gen 1 owners have had a heck of a lot longer list than this for the entire product run. Will they fix anything? Who knows, but as it stands the 08 is a sales success and manufacturers are very wary of messing with that recipe! Its fun to talk about though!
Let me ask you this. Do you think the after market brake master cylinder, tire manufacturers and exhaust manufacturers etc.want Suzuki to screw with it? They stand to make millions making parts to address all your worries. Thats just good for the economy overall and us consumers in particular IMHO.

EXACTLY on topic.Since the original thread was posted back in Jan of 2008 , I am sure it has been discussed before. Usually on most new models there will be "Slight" glitches , That is why alot of people wait for the 2nd year of the new model change. Overall the Busa seems to be very reliable with little or no problems. Just gotta work the bugs out.

If even half of the issues other members have listed are true, it would make sense to wait for the glitches to be worked out in the second year of the new bike.
Yamaha corrected the lag problem in its last new R1
in its second year and it would make sense for Suzuki to similarly respond to customer issues raised about the new Busa.
You wait, I'm riding.
I don't have any complaints yet--except for the removal of the side fairing. I've only got 1,200 miles on her, but it shifts smoother than my '06, and the Two Brothers pipes I put on make it sound sweet. I'm outfitting it for spot touring this summer as I plan a few 1,000 mile trips. Should be one of the faster sport touring bikes out there.

No issues on mine. Many of what you listed are subjective and common to many motorcycles.

I have had my 08 since October 31st, 2007. I have not had one single issue that's electrically or mechanically related. The only things that I have changed on my Busa are purely for my own personal prefference. This is the best bike I have owned to date. It would be hard to improve on this bike. It does exactly what it was designed to do, and does it extremely well.

2000 + miles on mine, used mainly in the wet
and never had a single problem,
The O/E tyres are fine and better than most riders are,
The lack of fairing bolts is cosmetic and I like the look but I'm sure I'm not the
only one who lets the dealer do the servicing so it's there problem not mine.
False neturals are often down to chain tension, have a check first
My only concerns is whether the finish will stand up to a few years of Scottish Weather

problems on the 08? never had any problems with my 06, everything I addressed was simply to meet my particular wants.. I would have to guess from what I have read, the 08 has not displayed a problem worthy of a factory fix...
What common issue can you attribute to how the bike is designed or built? (like a few hundred common complaints out of the thousands sold already)

Approx 1800 miles on mine. Have no complaints and nothing but praise. The bike was built to haul A_ _ and it does that extremely well.

Yup...Only complaint so far is that my weedy, 50 year old wrists won't allow me to hang on!Havn't had one problem with mine, other than when I twist my right wrist, I find myself being thrust forward very rapidly.
