By bye Busa.... (Not mine!)

[Tony Nitrous]

Along with the aircooled GSX1100 and the oilcooled GSXR11/Bandit12, the Busa is a global dominating bike for Suzuki and a landmark in chasing horsepower.

1299 and 1340 are brilliant motors.

Fingers crossed that there's something in the pipe line.

Another legend gone. Was waiting for the new model. Suzuki havent tried real hard on this decision. They seem to be getting left behind in a lot of areas, except Moto GP. GSXR still great. Boulevard seems to be their big naked go to. Sad days.

Dang I was hoping so bad that there will be a last version, I liked the proposed 2019 model and was ready to spend money on one.
Now I have to find a nice 2nd hand one

I was hoping they'd use the engine in a proper gsx1400 replacement .
Suzuki seam to have lost it's way big time .

Will tell them to get there act together and give the lads a new Katana and something we can see as a modern day 1400 when l get there. Will suggest black as the colour........ obviously 

[seth]

Great stuff @Kiwifruit
Go for it and shake them up 
Good idea to have the first model black then in a couple of years they can bring out the sports version in blue and white 

[Kiwifruit]

Seth, here l am trying to do you a favour and all you can do is mock.
Just for you l will suggest black with a nice blue pearl.......hows that, better !!

That last little emoji looks much like the food l've seen cooked this week.

[seth]

A bike that's got the looks and style of the gsx1400 with a modern motor,suspension and brakes in any colour will be fantastic .

(I can paint it later) 

[Kiwifruit]

Consider it done 

[Kiwifruit]

Might suggest the blue and white ones come with a heated seat and a remote.

@Kiwifruit
Don't tell anyone but I really like my red & black K5 .

[VladTepes]

WTF 

Suzuki could easily build an engine to comply if they wanted too.
Looks like they think killing off one of their most popular bikes is a good idea.

So.. Fucking clowns.

Wasn't it emissions that killed he 14 because Suzuki wouldn't invest?

Suzuki building bore bore streetbikes that aren't cruisers....

Hayabusa... 1999.

GSX1400... 2002.

GSX1250... 2010.

All had minor updates during their lifetime, all have ended production, none have been replaced. Nothing new added to the range.
