I'll believe it when I see one in Suzuki showrooms. Suzi is so cash-strapped, I doubt they can afford to throw R&D yen at the relatively low volume Busa, when their GSXRs are in even more dire need for updates.

Looks like we will we be safe for at least another year--maybe two. The only thing I wish my bike had that it does not is ABS which could save your ass in a panic stop.

The great thing about ABS is it'll keep your bike upright so as you're slamming into the buick that turned in front of you can see the idiotic look of sheer terror on the face of the driver. The bad thing is you can't use the "I had to lay it down" excuse.

supposedly a 1500 Hayabusa

I really hope the new busa is a 15XX. I get so tired of the "but.. but.. but.. 1441! It's not fair!"

I still say you can't tell which way a Hayabusa's supposed to go. Maybe that's to try to trick ZX14 owners: "If they can't tell which way I'm going, I might actually win the race!"

I think what might appear along the forks(on the side cover) lines are the pixel numbers creating a 'cf' appearance.They look like solid matte black to me...considering the basic overall color of the bike.You can see that same visual effect at the top of the fuel cap...the rippling.

Well, you can go to Kawasaki's website, click on the image to zoom, and it's still hard to tell:

Now that pic actually appears to have a CF(very lightly)appearance.Not the fin edges...but the areas in between.Good Pic there;)

As for the Busa being 1500cc's.Nope...1340.Sadly.

Bulbs are the same...that blue is a reflection from the overhead lights.Side grill looks smooth like the rest of the panels.The upper inner covers though...that's a cool new pattern on there.Also looks like they smoothed those where they insert into the midfairing and mate up against the tank cover.Nice.

I like this bike.Those clear brembo reservoirs really add to it.The EURO zzr looks very cool also.With that Akra.And the cool paint scheme(plus Ohlins).Guess they didn't actually change the flush fit of the upper inner panels afterall...kinda looks a bit like they might have in the one semi overhead pic.

Can that Matte finish be waxed?If you tried to put a paint(surface) seal liquid on that,it'd end up 'gloss' wouldn't it?Or close to it?

Ordered the Metallic matte grey and as of the 4th of November the bikes were not even on the water. I will give another call on Tuesday. I am curious about the overall look of this bike. The pictures don't tell all. I hope I will be pleased to see it when it comes out of the box. My green 2012 just turned 53K and even with that mileage I should be able to sell it because it still has transferable factory warranty to December 27th 2016.

From a new model show in Long Beach.

ZX: Matte gray; very stealthy looking. Getting long in the tooth. Could use a TC, more torque... oh wait, those are my upgrades.

ZX-10; Fly bye cable, hello single blade in the throttle body. Subs are history-stepper motors are new era. Spring in a box and that shaft runs the TPS. The old style cables are still looped thru the frame, to that box, why not fly by wire like yam, I don't know? Laydown rear shock. You need to buy an array of stacking shims to lower or raise the rear end. ABS. Looks small and lightweight.

Duc; 600cc dirt bikes with dirt track tire patterns. Kind of copied the cafe/chop dirt tire look a few years back.

Honda; Dual clutch 700cc twin. Not a bike, not a scooter. No longer is the shift pedal or clutch lever used. Everything is index or thumb mode driven. Right index selects your standard granny/hooligan modes, or use standard or automatic shifting. A faster shift apply vs rpm is that right finger controlling that gr/ho mode. For standard shift, left index upshifts, thumb downshifts. For automatic, run the throttle only. The rpm to wheel speed will downshift as will the upshifting. Forgot to shift down in standard mode? The ECU overrides your fuckup and downshifts for you. Clutch 1-3-5 is one pack, 2-4-6 gears use the other clutch pack. There is no rear wheel creep. You can kick the rear wheel backwards as it idles in first gear.

The high end gp-trickledown limited edition Honda 1000cc; (the slowly rising boner smilies icon)

Yam; 1000 frame-engine-body cutout display: Retractable v-stacks. Valves are this side of soda straw in length. That is one long intake port from top of the stack to back of valve. Head angle has come a long way.
