| Re: 2008 Busa up on Suzuk's website... I've not heard of too many people referencing the 'Busa with accolades of beauty, ever. It's form follows function, and the form was / is all about aerodynamics. Styling came a distant second over reducing drag. Maybe some nice stripes will help it out some? LOL |

| Re: 2008 Busa up on Suzuk's website... Unfortunately; the rear end is what most people end up seeing on those beasts. LOL |

| Re: 2008 Busa up on Suzuk's website... I might buy one - we will see. I think all suzi's look better in person. Or at least that has been the trend with my taste for them. I will just wait until there are some true reviews on them. |

| Re: 2008 Busa up on Suzuk's website... I just read the full article in Motorcyclist Mag; it was pretty well done. They road the prototype and raved about it pretty good. They didn't post any 1/4 mile times, but they ran the prototype against an 07 Busa and the new one gapped it significantly in a drag race. They didn't report an HP numbers aside from a 2XX number. Hot dog! |

| Re: 2008 Busa up on Suzuk's website... I read that too. I would think it will have to push 17X + at least at the rear wheel. Also it sounds like you drop the exhaust, and you drop a huge amount of weight. More than most bikes.... |

| Re: 2008 Busa up on Suzuk's website... It's annoying that the manufacturers don't claim power figures any more. |
