    You might not have to wait too long. It's not as if they've sold that many!

    If we all liked the same things aesthetically, red heads would never get laid.

    You said it, but alot comes down to the flock mentality where stepping outside the square is frowned apon. BTW, I used to have a red head girlfriend bout 20 yrs ago, bloody stunning!

    With you on that one too. I find 'Fantas' are either drop dead gorgeous, or heinous. There seems to be no in between like there is with brunettes or blondes etc!

    First picture of 08 busa thats been released

    Its taken from the suzuki 2008 order book, by looks of they little scared to hit the 200hp mark meant to be 198 @ crank with that 1330cc motor

    As a whole it doesn't look as radical different thani though, it still does have that
    hayabusa look, that alot of people though would change.


    The USA dealer show is on right now, so more pics should be out over next few days of the up coming models/colours.

    Struth Cajun those pics 'deserve their own thread!'

    My sourses in the US have stated that the 2008 Bus has the same 1340cc motor developing 198hp @ the crank!! new swingarm, same frame, radial brakes, new dash, 3 pos map selction..etc and will cost US$11,800.

    Not my cup of Milo but would be dead keen to take one for a test ride.

    I take a view that we live in a special time - Bus and ZX14 are a breed of their own. Both bikes kick ass. And the feeling you get when you pull up next to a 300K Porsche is absolutely priceless.

    Lets enjoy them before they're gone forever.

    Yep everything i have heard is a 1330 not 1340, but might be
    198 @ crank of course, just wish they would have got those 2 extra horses.
    shows you suzuki build it right in the first place is can still use the same frame after coming up 8 years, and of course all the normal fruit,

    Just waiting for some good pics, have 4-5 people in tauranga alone, who are waiting for pics before they commit to an upgrade.(father-in-law included)
