Nice new colors for the Suzuki GSX-S1000, love the Candy Daring Red!
so CTG
BLAH. These models are BORING. Same old Same old. Most are UGLY. How about a new GS1150ES? Or a BANDIT.. with a V motor?
Have you ridden any of them, by any chance?
I’ve been riding since 1978. I’ve never been bored on a motorcycle.
I hope you do eventually find a bike that is not ugly or boring to you.
Test ride some of the above, or from other manufacturers. Motorcycle dealers are more willing to offer test rides these days. It never hurts to ask.
Good luck.
A new Bandit 1200 would be cool! I put 55,000 on my 2002 1200S and enjoyed every minute of it.
Probably sounds ridiculous, but I think it would be cool to offer the Hayabusa in a sport-touring version; higher clip-ons, lower foot pegs, hard bags, etc. Essentially a more comfortable ‘Busa with hard bags. I’d definitely buy one! Just my 2-cents…
We’d love to see a sport-touring version of the Busa! But with open-class sport-tourers like the Kawasaki Concours 14 and Yamaha FJR1300 being dropped from lineups, we doubt that will happen.
I AGREE!!
⛔Yeah Suzuki are mindful of not disturbing Hayabusa equilibrium with another model but there is room for specific touring version kitted with bags etc. Which h would divert attention away from the knawing connundrum.of an overdue power increase not because it needs to but to keep the evolution rolling on with competitors
About 215 bhp shouldn’t worry the Gov wowsers to much surely. Just do it Suzuki no consultation necessary. SupershopperNz/ROD 🇦🇺 BUSA owner
So no new M109r? Come on Suzuki
My 2006 Hayabusa works well for touring rides with Either soft luggage or SW Motec saddlebags with removable supports and additional bag supports for use on my Yamaha FZ1 or Triumph Thruxton.
Why would anyone want a Busa makeover for sport touring when there’s the 1000GT+?
I know, I know…..if I have to ask, I wouldn’t understand.
When are the 40th anniversary bike going to be available for purchase, anyone know ????
