Are we looking at the same bike? Well I happen to love the look of the Katana series so this has the nice curves instead of sharp angles that I like but being more of a suzuki fan I'd still take a busa if I just had to have that much unusable power.

well at least they got the ninja 650 right. that one is a damn good looking bike.
The ZX-14 might at least give suzuki and excuse to update the busa

+2 for both statements.
The 650 Ninja looks great. I hope the "belly" exhaust becomes more mainstream. Ever since I saw it on the Honda New American Sports (NAS) concept bike, I have been in love. It helps lower the bike's weight, assist aerodynamics, exhaust cooling, and lower the center of gravity. All good things, as you all are no doubt well-aware.
I would also love to see an updated Hayabusa as well. I am banking on a 1500cc...Time will tell.

I wonder what Eric Buell is going to do with all of the royalty cheques?

I don't care where innovation comes from. Too bad it can't hide that paperweight HD v-twin underneath, eh?

The boy done pissed a mod off, he's done it now. He's pissed his bike hasn't been updated since 1986.
