    Yes they are coming. Contact your nearest Suzuki dealer for more info. Early November - EAGERLY awaited. Sure not everybody will like them, but I'm sure as hell gonna find out if I will by getting a test ride as soon as possible!!
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    The bking won't be here to buy until late December/early January maybe.

    It will be at Big Boys Toys in early November.

    Pretty much it's a naked 'busa, so you are looking at 175hp @ rw or thereabouts (they have not detuned it). It's 230kgs dry and it's speed is limited to 150mph. The speed is easy enought to fix.

    This bike is based on a concept that Suzuki made 4-5 years ago. The concept had a super charger and was putting out 250hp using the old 'busa motor. There was meant to be a lot of fighting with the concept/production designers. There is only about 2-3 things that are missing off the concept/production model, the major one being the supercharger. In saying that, there are already turbo kits for the 08 'busa, which this is same thing. It's easy enough to bolt and you don't have to worry about that pesky fairing getting in the way.

    Cajun has already lined up a test ride as soon as he can, since he is keen on getting one himself.

    I think of these as the Suzuki interpretation of the MV Agusta Brutale.

    I would love to own one.

    Yep, I like them. Yoshi have a pipe system already which cleans up the arse a bit.

    Test runs have all been positive with great handling.

    If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

    Seen one - think it looks like crap - but then, what would I know.
