Bigger engine, slipper clutch and 3 on the fly engine mapping changes

"ith a version of its own Suzuki Drive Mode Selector, the new Hayabusa allows the rider to choose from three different engine settings (similar to the set-up on the GSX-R1000). Engine compression raised to 12.5-to-1 compliments the increase in engine displacement, and is cooled by a new, more effective curved radiator." Click Here

Would like to see a Busa Tourer like the Concours 14.. Raised bars, higher windscreen and beetle bags..

1340cc, slipper clutch, 198 hp at the crank, radial brakes, new mufflers, new styling. It's different. Click the picture i attached and see.

Meet the new Busa, same as the old Busa.

Well, it is a bit different, with enough power for a midsized sedan rather than a hot sport compact, but nothing like the inline six that rumors had.

 

[acecycleins]

"They" say is vastly improved. Hope so. Thing turned like a greased pig.

I'll wait for more details.

I'm a big fan of Suzuki but the Hayabusa has never done it for me. When they came out in 1999 I stuck with my old '86 GSXR1100. Loved it when I gave a 'busa a licking in a top gear roll-on. When they introduced the GSXR1000, I was hard bit and I laid down my cash. No disappointments with the 1000.

Years later and the Hayabusa still doesn't do it for me, but I'm willing to listen and learn. I need more details.......

Next time you do a top gear roll on with your old 1100 against a Busa, make sure the guy on the Busa knows you are actually trying to race him. I'm sure the results will turn out quite differently. :-D

Actually when I met this guy he started bagging on me about how his 'busa is so much stronger than the 1992 GSXR1100 he still has at home. So I asked him if he'd like to go side by side against mine. My buddy who built my engine was there to watch and we all had a good laugh about it afterwards.
