So it's going to be as cheap as the jap bikes and as slow as the Italians? :nana:


Kidding, competition and variety is good. Hope they start running in AMA and World Superbike.

Yeah and they're not doing to terribly bad for being the first year on the track with them.

For some reason I was thinking that bike had a boxxer motor instead of an I4. I watch moto gp, but don't catch much wsbk.

Looks like a CBR 100RR from the side, and what's with the goofy assed headlight setup? I like my vehicles to be symmetric.

All of their bikes are like that. I've also always wondered why they do that.

Yes. It's a kickass bike, but just imagine the fact that the RR is lighter and has more horsepower than the 1300s. It was a killer then, now it's a complete monster.

I must have read it wrong. What part of the k1300s is a busa killer?

"The engine yields a claimed 175 hp, 7 more than the K1200S, and peak power is reached 1000 rpm sooner, at 9250 rpm, with more torque all through the rev range."

Vs. a comparable year Hayabusa @ 193hp and 102 ft/lbs. I'm not seeing a death for the suzuki looming.
