Did Mel tell you that?
Dealer show  the 27029 June (I'll be there) to announce the Busa. I rather doubt they will ship in  less then 30 days after that.

Tell us a little bit about what the bike looks like. I bought a new Busa in '01 and have had a '04, '05 and a '07 1000. I'm excited about a new Busa. Does it look similar to the '05 and '07 1000's???

Maybe the biggest cult following...But not the first....Opps maybe not the biggest either ..I think HD  has that covered...But as far as Jap bikes go i would say Busa....Can't leave out the H2 750s  , KZ1000s  , Gs1100s  and even the CBX... Everybody and their brother  had H2 750 or  KZ... :D

OK, I understand you can't post pictures; what does it look like???  I really don't want to have two new bikes sitting in my garage again, I don't think anyway. 8) Nevertheless, I have a blk/org '07 1000 I may sell for a new Busa and I'm thinking that new Busa is going to look alot like it. '05 and '07 1000's look alot a like, so I'm curious if the new Busa is going to look similar since its evident Suzuki is happy with this shape. The Busa kind of took shape off the Srad which was the current Gixxer style at that time. Is this what were soon to see???

I think they are gonna keep the new 08 BUSA at 1299cc and change the rest of it to be more like the new GSXR 1000's. So it will basically be a larger 1000 and should look significantly different than the current BUSA.

I know! I was looking at it today and I decided, "I'm keeping this one." Everywhere I go with it, people say, "now that is a pretty color scheme or that is hot! So it looks like I'm gonna have two bikes sitting in my garage again; unless one of the '08 Busa color schemes is black and orange.

dont think so.. you must be talking to suzuki rep.... those guys dont have a clue.. i work for dealership and our suzuki rep is biggest full of BS guy you ever know.. all of our reps have been this way.. they must train them.  if they were coming in july you would think some of dealers might know about them.. which we dont... or we would have had the ordering sheet to place orders for them already.. since we dont.... dont expect to see them in july unless order sheets get in damn fast. dealer show is not unti aug or sept( have to check schedule to see)  If new bike was coming........ you figure that they would make a big showing of it, spy pics would already be out and more people would know.  since i read over and help with ordering at our store.. i would know if we had them yet... sorry man we dont.. im as excited as next guy.. but wont make them get here anytime sooner.  when new bike is realeased.... i would bet $100 that it will be at dealer show and no time sooner.  i know warehouses still have few 07 in stock. just ordered an extra one today.

suzuki wont just send bikes.. you have to place ordering and get all flooring info on them.  you have to know how many ur alloted and such.  until i see order sheet, which will have pics or brochure in them, dealers cant order them... and that means suzuki cant ship them  matter of fact i will call our no brain suzuki rep in morning and see what he has to say about it.. not that he will know or even answer his phone.

If there is any truth to them showing up in the dealerships by July I doubt it would be for mass sales.  Maybe a couple here and there at big name dealerships for show only and the productions models getting there by fall but who knows.  Seeing as though I've been on the new Busa high-low every year since 2002 now I'm not holding my breath on anything.  I'm voting for the 2008 Busa to be BNG

I was told that they will be on dealers floors in July. Probably,yes some big dealer ships. My sourse told me that nobody was seen them. Suzuki is good at hiding there bikes. Remember back has anyone seen a suzuki before they wanted U to see it. Just last year no one knew what the 07 GSXR1000 looked like. Until the show. I think that most dealers will have them by the end on July. Let's see how good my source is?

1330 cc, Why would Suzuki build a 1330cc when they are known for building Big Bore Mild bikes? ethier it will be a True 1400 or 1500, They cannot build a 1330 unless its 13:1 on comp to out run the ZX14. Stock for stock, then how can the after market bump it up more? My bet is 1399 or 1499. Kawaski might just have 30 days left before they haft to leave town. There might be a New Sheriff headed those ZX-14 bandits way. :cop:

Post by: Busa Quick on May 25, 2007, 06:50:28 PM

 If it is 1330 I would guess it would have a shorter stroke and a bigger bore then the current 1300. You get more rpm and HP like the 1000 GSXR and only give up a little torque.

Title: Re: 2008 Busa
Post by: Revalot # 1 on May 25, 2007, 10:13:13 PM
Jeff knows alot, And Im sure more than me, But 1330cc Makes no sense ! If you guys know the History of Suzuki they are known for big bore and Long Stroke. Look at the 1K Gsxr it has close to the smallest bore, But has the longest stroke of all the 1K brands/bikes. More Mid range
Same for the 1074cc Gsxr 1100, 93-98 More Mid same TQ as ZX 11, No ram air and top hit like the ZX-11.
Same for 1127 89-92 Gsxr1100 etc  Mid range Madness low top end.
To make a New busa faster with 1330 it would haft to have Big Cams and Sky high Comp. With no mid range.
Suzuki knows that most guys like a strong low, mid range, and good top end.
Kawaski loves the Hit at the last 3K or so of RPM.
I sure hope this post is still around and 30 days, So we can see whos right.
1330cc? 1399? maybe a 1450? 1499?
Title: Re: 2008 Busa
Post by: jeffw on May 26, 2007, 08:15:36 AM
All I can can is the bike was being tested here in the USA last month..... sans body riding on the street near  Palomar. The guy would not commit  to 100%  on the 1330, he kept on saying "around" that figure. So it could give them room to increase it a bit if needed.

Having said that, if they plan on a July release date...... and already had a 1330 set to go, they may not have the time to bump it up. I guess we will see for sure in a month at Vegas.

Busa@11K   i don't know if i would call it a mistake...Intergrating the block and cylinders make for a stronger motor and able to make more hp in the same package ...It cost the same money  to bore and replate ..True shipping to the replater maybe a bit more and the labor to split the cases also ... But a trade off for a  lighter and stronger motor does not sound to bad .. :)

So you think removing the motor from the frame and splitting the cases (ie, a TOTAL motor disassembly) to be able to send in the cylinders for a re-bore is going to cost the same as just removing the top end while the engine is still in the frame.  Think about it.

Sure, not everyone does cylinder mods, but the guys who want more displacement are going to be pissed off if the cylinders are integrated in to the top case half.

Busa@11K   i don't know if i would call it a mistake...Intergrating the block and cylinders make for a stronger motor and able to make more hp in the same package ...It cost the same money  to bore and replate ..True shipping to the replater maybe a bit more and the labor to split the cases also ... But a trade off for a  lighter and stronger motor does not sound to bad .. :)


So you think removing the motor from the frame and splitting the cases (ie, a TOTAL motor disassembly) to be able to send in the cylinders for a re-bore is going to cost the same as just removing the top end while the engine is still in the frame.  Think about it.

Sure, not everyone does cylinder mods, but the guys who want more displacement are going to be pissed off if the cylinders are integrated in to the top case half.
Well seening i do all my own motor work i would rather pull the motor and put it on my work bench..I got a wrecked 06 zx14  and pulled the motor in 30 mins ...It maybe harder for some  but i have been doing motorcycle work for 34 years and fine it much easier to pull the motor...If you are building a stroker Busa you have to split the cases anyway ...I just don't see the big deal, for me anyway... :D

I agree if you have to split the cases anyway for crank/rod work then it's not much different.  But if someone wanted to put a "big bore kit" on their Busa with top engine case integrated cylinders, then obviously it's not just a matter of removing the top end with the engine still in the frame and swapping out the cylinder and pistons.

Also, the days of using a cylinder spacer for turbo kits to lower the compression will be over ... instead, they will have to split the cases to install new lower compression pistons in order to run any significant boost pressure. :duh:

Or they will continue to have Custom Carrillo rods made and shortened about .060"-.080"  and then make the pistons that much taller so you can move the ring stack down and make the piston a lot stronger for the cylinder pressure of wither a Nitrous or Turbo set up.

  Ok.... learn me.  If the abs system was top quality , no surging , no racket why would abs be bad for normal rider.  I have been in a porshe turbo that has fantastic abs and wouldnt want a car without em.  The standard GM abs i have on my truck is shit and would be even worse on a bike.  But I think a hi end setup would work great.

I think most people think of the "crappy" abs and know it would get you hurt on a bike. Knowing the japs though, if it does have some type of abs it will be better than the gm stuff.

Actually, a factory turbo would be a great way to add cheap HP.  A low boost blower running at just 5-6psi could get a 1349 to make over 200hp.

There have been other factory turbo bikes, and bike technology is better than then, increasing the chance that this could be a reliable design.


Factory Hayaboosta!  That'd be sick.

Knowing what you know and you already have explained elsewhere why you cannot divulge more info with that said. Would you buy one? if no, why?

The exhaust we know why they are so large and ugly and will be common place I'm sure on newer bikes which is useless dribble to debate as we all replace anyway.

The tidbits :P you have mentioned ti valves and ventilation holes should be worth i'm gusessing 8-10 hp at  by themselves this is  before being matched with a higher cr and revised cams which would make sense if using lighter valve train would add up even more sooooo...does the new busa have a higher cr and revised cams :wink:?

 :Boy no one seems to think a 1500cc engine is possible. In 99 suzuki went from 1100cc to 1300cc. Also busa cyclinders are realivity thick, so a few mm. piston increase as well as a 4 or 5 mm. longer stroke and were there fellows. You wouldn't have to give it big compression so heat wouldn't be a factor. Maybe you all are right and it will be between 1300 and 1350cc, but tell me a 1500cc busa wouldn't sell. You all would be right in line after me! :D

Makes a lot more sense. I was assuming the "tq" was foot-pounds since the power was quoted in HP. Usually if the torque is quopted in nm the power would be ps, especially from a European website. I still say it's a bit ambitious for a sit-up bike like the b-king in stock trim. Be a bastard to hold onto the bars   :D :D :D

The undertail exhaust on the B-King pics cleans up the ass of the bike so much.  Other than a hot ass when riding is there a reason they keep those HIDEOUS waterheaters hanging off the sides instead of going with the undertail?  Half of me wants to turbo my bike just to get the dump pipe effect for looks.  I'm certainly not of the riding skill level yet to get the benefits of a turbo bike... but damn they even just plain look better.

now that depends.... if they have been working on it for while and ready to go or already in production, then maybe Oct, nov or so.  but normally brand new bikes from ground up normally come out in march.  depends..  bought new gsxr back in 92 and it was due mid march and i think it finally came in end of april.  but there are better nowadays getting stuff closer to on time.  but we should have more info at dealer show.  they will give us an idea on release dates.  i wouldnt think they will be available b4 end of this year... i dont think we will see them on floors until Feb or March or 08... but i could be wrong.. but should know soon enuff

My guess....and this is shooting from the hip.....is that you may see a couple trickle through over the summer and fall but they won't be in full force until late full early winter.

But I'm stil saying BNG....PLEASE FOR F SAKE PROVE ME WRONG!!!

it all it was was BNG, then they would be here pretty quick.  but i think consensus is that new bike is coming and i would say im 99.99% sure new bike is coming.  i wouldnt say that if i didnt believe it.  i believe what VP of suzuki said that new bike is for sure coming.. but time is slowly ticking down till next wednesday.

oh man so thats it huh?   I would have to see one in person because it could look great, but so far it looks like they just hurried up and did a hack job on it (cosmetically) :(      I'm sure its fast, and a great bike to ride though.

Hey totally off topic but how loud is your SMEG?  I'm probably going to put one on my 14 but people are making me worry saying its about as loud as a street exhaust gets!
Title: Re: 2008 Busa
Post by: stangme01 on June 22, 2007, 11:27:22 PM
you know the bike would look a whole lot better with a more modern looking rear end (smaller, thinner, and no old style hump).    Maybe slim down the large front fairing.

It has a very deep deep tone ...Not loud just driving around town .. But it gets loud when you pour the coals on ...It not much louder than Brocks Gen 3 can ...Maybe this will help , turn up your sound ...

  The hump is what keeps the busa from looking like every other bike out there.... it stays !

Hey i kept my hump on mine 24/7 but for a 2008 bike it just needs a new sleek sharp rear end, not the same old hump with absolutley huge scoops on the side.

HOW WOULD SCOOPS ON THE SIDE HELP ARODYNAMICS? LOOKS KINDA FUNNY. I WAS GONNA PUT A DEPOSIT ON ONE TODAY JUST TO BE FIRST IN LINE BUT I THINK I WILL WAIT. :ppcrn:

If the abs system is a top of the line deal , I would buy it for that alone.  Imm really hopeing there is like 200hp , wild brakes and 50 less lbs to make the sale easier.  sj
Title: Re: 2008 Busa
Post by: stangme01 on June 23, 2007, 01:13:59 PM
i doubt the weight will drop, its almost necessary in order to be the kind of bike it is.  Same reason Kawi made the 14 so heavy.  Not because they couldn't make it way lighter than the busa, but because they probably found it to be more stable and cruise better with extra weight.   IF the busa is 50lbs lighter, once you take the heavy exhaust off another 25lbs at least now with cats etc.   Thats almost as light as a modern day liter bike, too light for most of the people looking at the 14 and busa.

I agree the hump is what seperates the Busa from all of the look alikes that are out there now,  so I hope they didn,t make it look like all of the 1000. They may up date the hump some what though. Also many of us are 200 plus pounds and 5' 11 and up in heigth and if they make a smaller fairing we'd look like we were on a 1000.

I don't think they will be over 1400cc, more in the 1300cc range, if they go to big in the CC department the insurance will be out of sight.
Maybe more compression, more cam, and great flowing head. :thumb: :D

yeah at least friggin make the hump more modern instead of using the EXACT same hump and just adding jet engines on the sides  :bah:

check out  ABS




Technology can't replace riding skill, but it can improve your ride.
Suzuki's Advance Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) is designed to assist
braking by allowing maximum braking power in all road and weather
conditions without inducing wheel lock. Suzuki's newest system
combines the ECU and hydraulic systems into one unit that is both
light and powerful. The result assists the rider during heavy braking,
and helps to maintain stable braking power.

Suzuki offers this technology on their popular SV650 and SV650S, the
all-new Bandit 1250S, the Burgman 650 Executive and the V-Strom 650.   

By understanding the rider's needs, Suzuki utilizes relevant technology
that complements the rider's ability, helping to keep them in control
when conditions are anything but controllable.

Sensors measure wheel speed and modulate brake
pressure through a 16-bit microprocessor reading
at 100 times per second to ensure smooth braking
performance without wheel lock.

That pic will work for me as long as its refined as it needs.... oh and fast as shit.   Now if we can get akro to make a dual exhaust that ends in 2 short cf cans that extend just out from the fairing like the r6 does.  My visa would be in pain .  sj

Post by: stangme01 on June 23, 2007, 03:50:15 PM
thats what i said, the bike would look alot better with a different rear end.  Rest of the bike looks cool.  I would have to black those mirror signals out before it left the showroom floor though.  On the gixxer its not AS bad, but man on the busa it just doesn't look good.  Easy fix though  :thumb:

Interestingly there is another article in a different mag that looks the same.

(http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w247/jamesspeirs/2008busa.jpg)

1) The bike is more or less the same as t6he picture above.

2) The dealers already know the colour scheme for selling the gear to go with the bikes ,one of which is orange and black like this one.

Hmmmm

Still fucking ugly though

Post by: nitrod86gt on June 24, 2007, 10:38:09 AM
i just dont understand why suzuki would work so hard and be so prooud of the busas aerodynamics, yet theyw ould add drag induceing scoops and sharp, choppy lines all over the bike....seems like they are going backwords if you ask me....sure extra power will be good but if the bike has to work harder to pull itself at high speeds, i imagine Noonan and the boys will stick with the old one...


P.S.  unsure of the accuracy of the orange and black pic...look at the Repsol underneath it...i seriously doubt that Honda is gonna re-design it to be that ugly...and whats up with the damn GSXR low can on it?? they arent gonna move away from underseat so you KNOW that pic is wrong..
Title: Re: 2008 Busa
Post by: stangme01 on June 24, 2007, 11:35:48 AM
I don't think its ugly, except for the rear end.   I think the current busa is a good looking bike, except the rear, its not just the hump its just the whole saggy big looking rear end.

ANd as for the Honda, dude some bikes are just plain getting uglier, like the new r1 is not as nice looking IMO as last years.
