My son spent the day at the track on Saturday, Seattle 100! He had the priviledge of spending some time with Aaron Yates. Aaron gave everyone quite the show on a borrowed GSXR1000 Race Bike. I wasn't there but I guess he burned off a set of tires giving a slide show around turn two among others. Had that Gixxer looking like a flat track scooter with smoke coming from the rear tire as if he was doing a burn out then picking the front up for a stand up wheelie all the way to the next corner. Quite the show I guess. Exceptional talent I would say!
Anyway, according to Aaron, Suzuki is bringing a brand new version of the Gixxer out for 2007. Again, according to Aaron, the 07 gixxer will put 180 HP to the ground and if Suzuki can get enough units together to make it happen, the new gixxer will also have traction control right off the shelf? We'll see? If Traction control doesn't make it on the 07 model it will become a reality in 08 for sure? How sweet would that be?
If indeed this is the case, the poor OLD SCHOOL busa will be playing second fiddle until sales beging to drop to the point Suzuki has no choice but to improve the busa's performance.
