Sounds impressive. Wish they had updated the look a little bit. Then again, why mess with a thing of beauty.
Still after 8 years, it still looks as beautifull and relevant as it did back in 1999.
Hopefully, they shave a bunch of weight of it. Some nicer wheels would be nice too.

[fstbusa]

hope it doesn't have those ugly ass tail scoops 

[duncan]

your probably right, but at this point i don't believe anything. three more days.

[thebbbusa]

WTF?  I thought the dealer show was LATER THIS WEEK?   

[trbobusa]

hope it doesn't have those ugly ass tail scoops 

onlything diiferent about the pics is the tail is a solid black and the hump is redesigned

198 at the crank?? Well the zx14 is 197 so i guess the new busa it not a zx14 killer ...Guess the Busa guys will have to wait another 9 years for a faster bike ..

[duncan]

this is going to be one hell of a fight with the big kawi. i predict a knockout in the 2nd round.

except the busa and 14 were neck and neck at 178hp and 197hp.....so, ya expect sheer murder.

[iScream]

What does the current bike have at the crank? 

If those scoops on the back aren't functional in some way, that's gonna be pretty damn lame.

Does same frame mean that old bodywork might fit with minor mods?

Lee - gonna have to throw you under the bus since you are talking shit now.  You cut low 1.3 60' times when 90% of everyone else is cutting high 1.4 times on the same length bike so you are  NOT typical so you can't speak like you are.  If you can do that on your 14 then you surely can do it on a newer Busa and i'd bet come damn close on a current model Busa.  What is also funny is you are the ONLY 14 in the COUNTRY running 8.70's with the same length and mods you have.  Hell Rickey G only rode 8.90's when his bike was set up like yours...

Hell yes i'm mad!!!! I wanted a new Busa !!!!!  A fast New Busa  not a warmed over old Busa  that at its best will run the same as a zx14 ...

[thebbbusa]

And what's the big deal with 200hp?  Why go 1340 (when kawi went 1349) and stop at 198hp?  What'd they do, bore it or change the pistons?  So all us old guys just need to go big bore, and where caught back up?

Gadsons bike ran 8.80s ... Kary ( firestater) has run 8.70s on her zx14 ...Little Jesse has run 8.70 on his zx14 ....So i'm not alone ...I don't cut low 1.30s and you know that ..My best is 1.38 ..I have rode a few Busas with the same mods as my zx14 and ran 9.20s not 8.70s ...I will agree if the new busa matches the zx14 in hp i should be able to go as fast ..That is why i'm upset about this new Busa ... At best i will go the same speed on it ... ...
