All the guesswork about about the new Hayabusa will end Wed June 27 between 5:30-6:30pm at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas Nevada during the Suzuki Dealer meeting. The rest of the world will know Thursday whether it is a Hayabusa 1500 or Hayabusa 1600 or a new iteration of the 1300. This will be an ahead of schedule release, as new models are normally introduced around September. Suzuki says they plan to release many new models.

Let’s hope it’s something way more innovative than the 2007 Hayabusa’s simple color changes. We will update the 2008 Hayabusa wiki entry as more information becomes available. Anyone else with more information can feel free to contribute.

Here are some artist renditions:

This one is supposedly from the UK motorcycle magazine. They say that the new B King due for release later this year is a test for the busa engine it is basically a naked busa version hence the name B-king (Busa King). This rumor says that the Hayabusa will use the same engine as the B King but tuned for more performance. Supposedly the exhausts will be Dual but triangular and underseat. I say it could still be a photoshop.

These two are obviously photoshops but quite funny.

Here is a picture of the B King which I seriously doubt will come stateside. But who knows. It is supposed to be released in England soon though.

Also in a very similar vein as the B King is the GSR600 they are delivering to Europe. I don’t really think it will look like these two bikes, but you could see some similarities such as in the swing arms or frame design. Hosted by CycleChaos.com - The Motorcycle Wiki

Now if this is the engine I think every other motorcycle manufacturer should just quit now.

I can feel the excitement building... They wouldn't make an ABC version like they did with the 1000 Gixxer, would they?

It is a 1340 with 12% more hp taking it up to 195.
