Hayabusas look like boogers that dont get fully flicked off your finger.

I like the fact that it has normal gauges. Suzuki's schtick of re-releasing old favorites (SV650) and having them look better than current bikes is cunning, yet sad.

The rotors look a bit small to me, and it strikes me as odd that it's got Stylema calipers, yet no radial master, and rubber lines. I'm getting the feeling that the Stylema is cheaper for OEMs than the M50 was, being that it's on so many bikes.

I like the look of it; it's a slightly more angular look while still retaining the chubbiness of the original. Plus the whole two-tone thing is rad. And I like the taillights. I would love to take one of these for a nice long ride.

It's still gently caress-ugly but it has cruise control now so I think I like it

Ya its 2021 you can buy a Bosch unit off the shelf and slap it on drat near anything and provide rider aids, so why the hell wouldn't you Also gently caress Suzuki forever until they bring back the B-King

I like the updated Hayabusa a lot. The bulbous aero shape was one of the things that was so awesome about the original and I'm glad they kept that. I would have been nice to keep the original copper color but the black looks great and the copper accents tie it back to the original.

Rest assured the next twenty years of graphics updates will result in a combination you like.

Not around here, but you can usually get them to throw in the helmet they kept hanging off the side of the bike and never actually wore. The super-sikkkkkkk LED lighting is an added bonus too Seriously though, if you're riding solo and can pack light, the 'busa is one of the best hyper-tourers ever made. It's a goddamned shame so many of them ended up with extended swingarms, 50lbs of chrome, and squared off tires

Speaking of Bosch, every home appliance or power tool I've used of theirs has always felt cheap as hell. I'm always surprised when I see them pop up as important parts on motorcycles

Horse Clocks posted:Someone has out-ktm'd KTM Is that an aftermarket swingarm or did they cut out all the spaces out of a stock swingarm? I'm looking at it and feel like I can see where it will fold in on itself. Let's be clear, it looks sick as gently caress. But I'm afraid it's not the good kind of sick.

quote:Stiffer than stock* *: citation needed The more I look at it the more it screams 'engineer who doesn't really know how bikes work but thinks he does', like they looked at the stocker and decided all the windows were filled in for cost reasons, not realising swingarms load sideways as well.

Well when all your friends make fun you for buying a $2000 swiss-cheese swingarm, the same company will sell you $200 carbon fiber swingarm covers to hide your shame
